Well good for you. Perhaps try telling somebody who could give one next time though.
I called you narrow minded for your assumption that Tomkins is returning home because he has failed, rather than because he might just actually want to go home. Heaven forbid somebody might actually want to go home, what a terrible thing to do.
To answer your question: No. I've certainly been around long enough to recognise a Troll. |

Why don't you just whack it out on a table and put a ruler next to it. |

Samuel Tomkins is now openly saying Wigan would be nice but it won't necessarily be Wigan.
www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... mhm5y.html
As a Wigan lad I am sure that he would never consider St Helens. He is not needed at Leeds unless he wants to play at No. 6. Salford have Kevin Locke and Rangi Chase and booming competition for the scrum half spot between an Aussie and a Frenchman. Hull FC are OK for full backs and halves, and Hull KR have no need for him as a full back or a half. He would never choose a club with a small fan base like Salford, Huddersfield or Widnes. He would never go to a club with dilapidated facilities like Castleford or Wakefield.
I wonder if that means he will take a chance with a contract with London? |

Did I read that right Jean, London? Yes of course one of the best players we've ever produced, who is in the prime of his career is going to join a team playing in a housing estate in front of 600 fans in the second tier of rugby.
Add to the above the Chairmans desire to reduce costs!

Ah I see. You're one of those gobs***es who owns a convertible that at the first sign of sunshine, no matter if it's 3oC and frosty, you'd have the roof down like the pretentious prat that you are.
Glad to see we cleared that up. |

Maybe you're not homesick because you had no friends to leave behind? From your posts you don't sound particularly pleasant, so I suppose it would make sense. |

Its the pile into Jim thread it seems.
He was just defending where he lives from a poster that said it was a backward hole.
I have been to New Zealand, England, the USA and Australia many times.
The North of England is not the top of that list IMO.
Each to their own, he has a right to reply surely?

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Before he left England Samuel said that he would like to play for London some day. This would take up 50% of the London cap, but along with the signing of Samuel Rapira, it would guarantee that London gets promoted back to its rightful place in Super League.'"
How come you think that London should be promoted back to its "rightful" place in Super League ? Does London have more of a right to be in Super League than other teams ? |

Gutters, you are forgetting your modesty and your excellent interpersonal skills, which enable you to get on so well with everyone, even those with whom you disagree. We are truly fortunate for your presence. |

Yeh, but you're paying 1980's prices 
NZ is one of the dullest places on Earth. |
