| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"Sam Tomkins is not a massive name in hull or leeds, cities.that have better supported soccer teams than rugby.league. as for burgess and union.....I.simply said he would be better known and better paid and he will be. Brisbaneites know queensland players and have little care for english players in nsw that arent even a draw in sydney.....you really do have an.inflated opinion of the.appeal.of rl in Australia......even the fumbleballers drew a bigger crowd in sydney.this weekend than the reigning nrl champs'"

Hull and leeds are cities that have better supported soccer teams than rl teams
Brisbaneites really care little for.anyone other than queenslanders.....a pome player in NSW is of.little.interest to them...quade cooper is more important to them.
Sydney swans attracted a.bigger crowd than sydney roosters thia.weekend....
What of the.three above is a joke?
Because.you.dont like it doesnt make it less true....

Well the first point, hull are Leeds get bigger soccer crowds, what's that got to do with them not knowing who Sam Tomkins is??
Queenslanders not caring for anyone other than Queenslanders? That doesn't mean Sam Burgeas isn't well known up there. Caring and knowing are two different things. Anyone up north cares little for union or jonny wilkinson, but they know who he is. A rugby league mad city will know who one of the best players in the world is.

Lol is well known everywhere, he is a sportng celebratory here. Next week he'll play in front of 60k plus for souths, when was the last time bath got that? If he goes through he'll play in front of a 4.5mill TV audience just in Australia. And remind me again his last game for england? Oh yes Wembley stadium in front of 67k in a game that was as far removed from the drudgery of a union international as you can get.
Still he is getting more money, every cloud and all that.

100% agree !
Money can't buy you contentment though and once he realises the magnitude of his error he'll never be happy until he's challenging himself in the more mentaly and physically demanding code of Rugby, Rugby League.
A Champion player like Sam Burgess likes to test himself by being right on the edge of his capabilities, he'll be so under challenged and within his comfort zone in Union that boredom will become the catalyst for his return to the NRL.
