I went to the Eng v Wales game and booed Tomkins at every opportunity particularly after each of his tries.

The real dissapointment was that his brother wasn't playing as I could have booed him too

Must boo louder

But why boo Tomkins when he is playing for England

My thoughts? but it seems to be some infection that has spread to those fans around St Helens and Warrington, they were Never Heard anyway even at the ground, I suppose it is keeping them occupied, off the streets and out of trouble LOL!

I think the winks in the posts give it all away-Maybe WQ didnt boo!!

Jaybs it all stems from Leeds and the "origin" game!!!

I know, but it is completely stupid, rugby league used to be a game which was so family orientated and good banter, but some of the new younger fans are just so bitter and hold resentment, why? like the recent looting in the riots beyond me.

Do you think Tomkins gets booed due to resentment or do you think its maybe that he is seen as a cheat due to his constant holding the tackler in when tackling him, mouthing of at the Ref etc. I think what you say is correct but Tomkins is bringing about the booing due to his cheating. Far better players than him (Hanley, Edwards, Farrell) all good, honest, hard players were never booed

Im not sure what the link to looting is. In the 70's didn't we have football violence which we dont seem to get today.

It was a decent crowd for an England v Wales game where the result is a foregone conclusion.
RL is full of people whinging and moaning, many while sat on their backsides at home.

I think we should take each game at a time. We should boo any player if they are guilty of unsportsmanlike behaviour. If they behave so should we!

Well most media guys agreed that it was a disappointing attendance at Leigh, and the feeling was the problem is the bad travel connections to the Leigh ground.

If you did read what I say, it was when I arrived home from the game, I also watched the recording I had made. So it was a foregone conclusion England would win, well until Wales really collapsed I did not see it that way, we had a few really Outstanding England players which Wales did not have.

I agree about the number who whine on this forum and never seem to read what was said or seem to want to look for any fault they can find.

I stand by an attendance of 10,000 for an England RL game on national TV in a small stadium is simply not good enough and a bad advertisement for our game and makes us look small time, that is not whine it is an opinion and one agreed by many!

... and the connection between all of that and this thread's title and first postIn the week when our heroic SL team are re-branded there will be 50,000 at Wembley.'"

10+K in a 12K stadium was a decent assessment of the crowd by the RFL would you not agree
