| Quote: uglybug "Whilst I accept that since St Kris retired, Wellens has been (Has Been) one of the top Full Backs in Super League.
However, after watching Sam Tompkins yesterday, I am sure that we have the most exciting player in World Rugby at the moment (yes, more than Slater, Inglis, Marshall etc). Even though he has replaced Lockers as the most hated Wigan player, I stood amongst the Pussy Cat fans yesterday, who booed him constantly, but by the end, they admitted he was something unique and special and even "paint watching" Kear was forced to admit Sam was 'sensational'.
When your full back and you nil a team, you must have some defensive qualities.'"
Not being funny there's no denying Sam is a very fine player but to put him in the same league as Slater,Marshall etc is BS. |

Well said.
What some people don't seem to realise is that believe it or not Sam has only played one full season as a first choice player. |

Exactly and over time he has the potential to be a truly world class player at this moment though he isn't. |

| Quote: hula89 "The point is that SHE not everyone would have felt intimidated if it was wire and i can see why we never have trouble at saints games we never fail to at a wire game. It's notthat all wire fans are trouble just there's a greater amount than there are trouble saints fans and slim in all your crazy stats and rubbish arguments that isn't really something you can deny. Because after the wire game this was full of stories about wire hooliganism but there's no stories about saints thus far. I'd say that's fair reasoning for her argument am I right?'" partly yes, however the op and others posted making sweeping generalisations, i cannot however assess how scared an individual may be at a given time so yes your right. the issue i have is the ability to slate every one for the actions of a minority, i didn't come on here to score points just to give an opinion, i also feel you exagerate a tad, was it really "full" of stories of holiganism? or a few issolated incidents, given rise to this current hysteria?
oh and less of the "rubbish arguements" if you don't mind!
p.s where's these stats?   |

In his pomp Wellens was outstanding, whereas t'other one was totally ineffective on the big stage last season against the Kiwis and Australians.

Not a chance he will go to Aus.

I'm judging more off the fact theres at least 2 or 3 long threads about stuff thats happened whereas theres none so far about Saints.
For example the last wire game I remember the guy who was beat up near the North Stand
And the one before there was the Wire fan who busted someone on here's wifes nose
And theres the fact that I myself have had a big Vodka bottle thrown at me while getting in my car after last seasons game at Wigan by some young yobs (who definitely were not old enough to be drinking that Vodka on the coach btw)
But yes I agree it is unfair to tar the entire group of Wire fans for the minority's actions but sadly that is how these things tend to work. Look at Millwall in soccer lol.
I will admit the Wire fans causing it seem to be the "new" fans the young chavs that would never have gone before they started winning things. (dont know about the bust nose incident I dont know how old the guy that did that was)

[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 |

perhaps your focusing on the negatives a little too much, i witnessed bad behaviour from wigan fans this season post match, but didn't mention it on rlfans (until now, i think) but i also sit in the 3 pigeons every year and have the crack with wigan fans pre match, so i can see where your coming from to a degree but tarring all fans with the same brush or blowing incidents out of proportion paints an untrue picture of what's really going on imo. every club has it's young idiots who can't take their drink and when they get caught missbehaving they'll get their come uppance. in the mean time i'll get my pipe bombs ready for when you visit later in the year! |

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. it's something sadly that many fans of all clubs do. Look at the threads on most Rl fans sites to confirm.
I'll discuss Rugby League all day with other fans, and we'll disagree. However I'll also sit with them pre and post match and have a beer. That's how I was brought up, and that's the way it should be. I don't like segregated stadia, it creates far more problems than it solves, but makes it easier to steward.
The MAJORITY of Rugby League fans are superb and can be humorous, and it's up to them to sort out the few idiots that attach themselves to our clubs.
Rant over.

Agree the worst it used to be when I started going was "hope you lose" and people laughed it off but as we all know success brings the idiots back. I luckily live in newton so have been brought up not having any choice but to get on with other teams fans and tbh I wouldn't have it any other way fighting over rugby is pathetic there's simply no need to fight let alone over rugby! |
