Care to share this? or is it just a ''Rumour''.

| Just the usual suspects talking crap in an attempt to justify their irrational hatred of the most talented player of his generation... Just ignore then..

Tough t*ts as the saying goes.
Not that I believe this like but I'll humour you and say if it was true then these said players must be nuts. If they don't want Tomkins on their side regardless of what pay he's on then they know where the door is.
As I say I can't see it mind. I know if I was a player I'd fancy the chances of more winning bonus, trophy bonus, international call ups and generally being put in the shop window(well if these players are that money driven they must want that) more if I was on the same side as the leagues best and most scrutinised player.

Correct if what some Saints fans are talking about is true that some of our players have spat there dummy out because THE best player in Super League is deservedly earning the correct sum of money then they need look at the bigger picture. If they want our club to be successful in the next couple of years then they must understand we probably cannot win trophies without Sam playing his trade in a cherry and white shirt although I do understand if they have got the huff but thats life eh!.
Anyways as ive said Im taking this with a pinch of salts.

2 saints fans have said it so it must be gospel!
In all seriousness we'll have to put up with these rumours now and it's only to be expected. We'll see how much ill feeling their is towards the lad when he's ripping it up again next year. My guess is none whatsoever.
Saying that Ged Byrne is still peeved that duffer Ellery Hanley got paid more then him and don't even get Ricky Bibey started on Andy Farrell!
ps apologies for using Ged Byrne as a similar example to Ricky Bibey.

| I'm not stirring at all, it's true. Look back in this thread or others about Sam being kept in Super League - I was over the moon.
I've also posted plenty of things on your rumours thread regarding announcements which materialised so I don't have any problem trusting my source at all. Some posters on this board know I'm not talking crap, it's up to you if you believe it or not.
However, If you do believe it, it's because some current first team players are earning 200k+ less than Sam and are not happy that there is such a big gulf in their wages. Personally I think its tough but there is a couple of players unhappy.

| They know where the door is then.
If they think Sam Tomkins shouldn't be paid more then them they must have massive delusions of grandeur and their attitudes obviously aren't what we need.
It'd be like Mark Edmondson or Tony Stewart throwing hissy fits when Cunningham was kept in league at Saints if it firstly is true ( which with respect I doubt) and secondly it's a couple of squad players on 20k a year as I read on your board.
