RLFans finest:
[quote="Saint77777":3t42372l]Maguire was a black mark on RL in this country. Whilst coaches like Daniel Anderson and Brian McLennan won championships on the back of exciting Rugby league, Maguire set out to win at all costs, evident by the way Danny Maguire was seriously injured and laughed at on the floor by the wigan players as he writhed in agony. Then there has been the constant bending back of limbs, trying to seriously maim the opposition. Even Phil Clarke has jumped on the bandwagon with his disgusting comments about the Danny Maguire incident.
I think its fitting that the 2 fairest teams in the comp, who have been on the receiving end of Wigans tactics should contest the Grand Final and make it a proper family day out instead of the knuckle dragging, salivating neanderthals from Wigan, that would pour into manchester on grand final day.
I for one cant wait to mingle with the Leeds fans and have a beer with them, rather than having to watch my arms and legs, should wigan have got there.[/quote:3t42372l]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_54062.gif |

Can he be banned on those grounds then?
C'mon, if you are gonna have Bruce_Forsyth as your username you gotta at least make a few jokes. |

The haters really need to just accept already that Sam Tomkins is the best thing seen in this country for a long time and his only going to get better.

FFS. He's just a really good player. The way some on here go on about him, you'd think he makes Billy Slater look a bit average.
He's an excellent player, but he's not the RL messiah some make out. It's difficult to compare forwards and backs, but it could be argued that the likes of Burgess and Ellis are just as good in their respective positions as Tomkins is in his. All this Eddie and Stevo fuelled hero worship is a bit weird, if you ask me.

Anyone wishing to see S.Tomkins leave our game wants their head seeing too.
I hope he's in Superleague for as long as possible and if he ever does leave then I hope it's the NRL that he goes too.
He's a talent, he's a character and he makes the headlines, exactly what any sport needs.

| Quote: Saddened! "Is it? Contracts mean nothing, if the RFU come back in 12 months time and decide they want him, they will get him. Tomkins, by way of the 3 season guarantee thing is admitting Union is the long term goal.
IMO he's just waiting to see how his brother finds it. If he's in the England squad, on twice Sam's salary and loving it, I still expect Sam to go.'"
I think hes settled for being the highest paid player in Superleague. he is around about the same as Joel too (Joels wage increase got well out of context in the media) and still playing the game he loves.
I think Wigan have won this one. |

I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of that 3 years he then has around a year playing union... before hopefully being selected for the england ru world cup side. If he ever wants to be recognised internationally as the great talent he is this is what he will have to do.

The difference is Tomkins can do things which people will pay to watch. This is an entertainment business and the players with the X factor will always get the most limelight. |

Dont talk complete crap. He would end up recognised as a great rugby union talent. He is supposed to be a league player so he should be happy with being recognised as the best RL player around in a few years. What make everyone think this crap its a good job the aussies n kiwis and other past RL stars didnt think this or we really would be a feeder game. I think you lot on here are getting caught in this bullsh#t union hype |
