I reckon they've been purposely asked to ask 'dumb' questions, just to give Sam the chance to explain how it all works. I believe Helen has a soft spot for Saints so she probably knows what's going on.

I stopped watching after tim lovejoy left, but as you say Sam and RL was expsoed on a premier league orientated football show which is advertising equivalent to gold dust IMO, but nevertheless others cant see the bigger picture and just tend to have a moan for the sake of it or just have a dig at Sam doing his bit for the game borne out of jealously

i too don't see the problem; i watched the highlights on Anytime last night and thought it was pretty down to earth and lighlt-humoured. they called him the best rugby league player ever fro crying out loud! what do some wigan fans actually want at all?!

at the end of the day it is a football programme with football specialists, the clue is in the title of the programme

to have a rugby league player on as one of the main guests is nothing but a good thing no matter how the interview goes if you ask me and no matter if tim lovejoy is no longer one of the hosts or not!

i suppose the man utd faithful moan a lot about wayne rooney when he scores a hattrick and is interviewed after a game, don't they? i can see it now... "yeah he scored a hattrick and we won the game, but his interviewing technique is awful and i want him out of the club and the sport forever"

quit moaning you horrifically pesimistic lot! jeez.

For gods sake people.. What has to happen before people will stop moaning ? Sam did a great job on Soccer AM.he showed a bit of humour ,modesty and was a positive role model for our sport. A sport that sadly very rarely gets a mention on to popular shows like Soccer AM.so let's congratulate him and hope they have more players on in the future

I think Messi is football's Sam Tomkins
