Quote: Famous "I agree. I think the advert is great and a big improvement on previous years but even as a Wigan fan I am uncomfortable with just Sam Tomkins, a player that may potentially go to Rugby Union or at best the NRL in a year or two, being the sole focal point and the face of Rugby League in the country. What kind of message does it send if the casual viewer, or indeed youngster playing the game, sees the face of Rugby League, potentially the only play they know and going by the advert and Eddie and Stevo's ramblings the player they see as the best in English RL, go off and play Rugby Union. Adding say Sinfield and Roby would have pushed more players into the national consciousness and shown that Sam Tomkins is not the only good RL player. It also limits the damage somewhat if Tomkins does indeed go to Union.'"
Thing we also have to remember is that Sam is a Sky employee so therefore they'd wanna get the most out of his contract with them. Still the best advert that Sky have produced for our sport and like everyone else i hope they build on this through the season.
