What's the rumpus, Tom? [quote="Pemps":1dso5atj]I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala".

Quote: just_browny "You look at the list of winners and wonder how Jack Murphy didn't nip in at the end and claim Young Player of the Year. Especially since he seems to have the same bomb-catching skills as the MOS.'"


You guys are about to embark on a historic final appearance in a week and may perhaps be crowned champions.

Reasons to be cheerful eh?

Apparently not

Instead you take pot shots at a young rookie from an opposition team, whose error contributed to (but did not cause) a loss against a champion team in a fierce playoff match.

Jack Murphy is about to embark in a career that you, yourself can only dream about yet you still chose to snipe for one reason only.

Because he plays for Wigan.

I do not want to tar all wire fans with the same brush, as there are some cracking posters on this forum who support your club.

On the other hand there are the likes of you.

The chip on your shoulder is there for all to see and you and your ilk are becoming very tedious.

Why don't you just enjoy your final eh?

You boring get

The only thing better than a cow is a human! Unless you need milk. Then you really need a cow. Dr. Walter Bishop: [on the phone with Peter Bishop] Hello Peter, this is me, your father, Walter Bishop.

Quote: Saddened! "Tomkins has been very average during the second half of the season. When was the last time he actually played well?

Club of the year being Wigan is pretty hilarious as well given Warrington are about to claim the double.'"


You really need to see the doctor about getting that chip taken off your shoulder lad.

I bet it really made your day when you found out stains don't have anyone in the England squad.

To be honest I feel for Saints fans a bit, not having anyone in the England squad. Roby deserves a spot but apart from that there isnt much else for England in there.

Makinson is a good talent for the Knights maybe, and they have got a few younger players but it has got to be said, the Saints big hitters are all foreign apart from Robes.

Pretty sure that they will want to be bringing through more youngsters in the seasons to come.

"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League" Alex Murphy 2011:



"Man of Steel" hardly fits the player that's won the award. A "Man of Steel" who had his manager complaining to the RFL that players were tackling him too hard, a "Man of Steel" that falls over at the Play The Ball when someone touches him with a fingernail, a "Man of Steel" that screams and cries at referees that don't agree with him. I've never seen anyone less like a "man of Steel". Brett Hodgson is everything that Tomkins isn't and would have fitted the award perfectly. It's probably why he has the respect of supporters from every other club in the league and Tomkins doesn't.
