Quote: Wire_in_Wigan "Very talented player, could be made even better if his decision making in attack got a bit better as he is still extremely ballgreedy. However, nothing explains my hate for him. I would happily give up KFC for A MONTH just to wee in his morning coffee.'"

Quote: Team Maverick "Needs to get rid of his attitude and silly panto footballer style acting!

Got a mate in the England set up and he said when all the squad meets up for training and what not, he said the 2 Tomkins brothers walk around with their heads up their owns arris', too good to mingle with the rest of the squad...
He said he got on with alot of players from other teams who he's never dream of getting on with unless he'd met them off the pitch but Sam and Joel was a pair of arrogant t@ss pots... Great talent but complete pr@cks!'"


What a complete pile of toss.

You only have to look at Westwoods defence of Tomkins after the pathetic booing after the Exiles game to see how much crap is being spouted above.

I'm a Warrington fan and want hate them, but I've met them on a couple of occasions and have to say they're a genuine nice couple of guys. They love rugby and are particularly articulate about the game.

Kills me to say it but they are a credit to rugby league.

Shame not all fans can credit each team where its due.

Credit to Warrington icon_thumb.gif Expected world war 4 on here regardless of who won.

Wigan, Warrington or both for the Grand final! k020.gif (Yorkshire hater more than anything.)

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg



Players like Sam dont come often we should embrace them

That try was nothing short of awesome

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg



I hate it when Sam Tomkins collects the ball and has some open space, it frightens me to death. Yesterday, in a crucial game he stood up and really performed.

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????" I kept the faith and I kept voting Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man Theirs is a land of hope and glory Mine is the green field and the factory floor Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers And mine is the peace we knew Between the wars:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4486.png

I understand where Sam's arrogance tag comes from when he's on the pitch, but off the pitch he's one of the most quiet, modest likeable lads. He's a St.Pats lad, and still comes down to the club to watch. He's often there on a Sunday cheering the kids on, having impromptu coaching sessions with them. If watching a game, he sort of hides around the corner so there's no distraction. Still up until last season he was coaching St.Pats U18's. He's go time for anyone that wants to talk to him. There's never a "Big I am".

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Correct, one of the nicest and most approachable of players, in fact all three of the Tomkins boys are. They obviously have had a very good solid family upbringing as their dad also loves his RL and you never get the "those are my boys swagger" with him, although he must be / should be bursting with pride.

I agree, and that was one of my worries yesterday that we would kick to him poorly, offering him returns on the fly etc. He was sensational yesterday.

You get a player who is roundly boo'd by the opposition and generally 'hated', and you tend to know it's because he creates a fear factor amongst those people. It was similar with Farrell.

If Sam T was in the Aus / NZ team he would be being hailed, and we would see comments like "why can't we produce that kind of player over here". blah blah.

Quote: Live Wired "Forget the spelling, but that lad was absolute class tonight. It's about time that fans, irrelevant who they support, get behind British talent. like him or not, he is the nearest thing this country will see to Sean Edwards in a long time.'"


Exactly!!!

The lad does nothing different from other players!

Quote: Mark "Pleasure to watch. Passing and kicking game need work though'"


His passing is very good but it's more his decision making when passing that needs work.

It'll come though and when those little touches get added my word he'll be pretty special.

Yesterday Hodgson milked a penalty by rolling around! Westwood had a moan and swore at the ref did you happen to comment on this or is that ok?

Sam yesterday got hit hard with a tackle from Westwood I think. He just got up played the ball with a smile on his face real bad attitude that!!
Briers has an arrogance about him, so does Sinfield or does that make your Tomkins bashing stand up to well?

Can you name anyone thing he did yesterday that showed this horrible cheating play acting bad attitude that is apparently oozing out of him?

You've actually got a mate have you?? Surprising with your bitter twisted view of the world.
