| the article is very good,
and brings out an important point about respect,
he needs more respect, as much as the wigan fans hated longy, whenever he played for england we all got behind the team,
sam seems to get abuse when on international dutry, discusting,
all the players deserve more resepct, and sam more than any,
this whole thing, and with the crap media, and dissapointing bias on the tv, leaves a massive sour taste about the final,

I don't think it does - the fact is (whether you believe it or not as a Wigan supporter) he is renowned for being a cheat and for showing a lack of respect to the other team's supporters. Why should we just forget that because he pulls on an England shirt. However, this apology is a good, genuine first step imo.

I agree.
To achieve what you're hoping for, however, requires fans of RL in this country to be able to check their club agendas at the gate for internationals. They don't though. Tomkins isn't the first to get the treatment while on international duty and he won't be the last. The "home" crowd has picked at least one England/GB player to get stuck into at almost every test match I've been to, be it at Leeds, Wigan, Hudds, Hull or wherever.
I'll be off down to Wembley again in November hoping for it to be different, but it's more hope than expectation.

Unlike Sinfield and McGuire.

Yes, all infringements while jumping for a high kick are sent to the disciplinary. Aren't they? They're not? Oh.
I really wouldn't like to imagine what you'd be like if you'd lost!
