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,

Sam was telling the Leeds fans Jeff Lima would score two tries!

Didn't Richie Myler gesture to us Wigan fans at the HJ last season?

If Sam was to be punished would it not be for bringing the game into disrepute?

Shouldn't the BBC be punished for replaying it in slow motion during the after-match summary?

Young Sam is a silly BOY

Grow up son and leave that sort of silliness to Rooney and the rest of the nancyball boys

it should have no place in a MANS GAME.

Interesting. Not too much of a shock that supporters of certain clubs conviniently forget that their own players have done the same and got a way with it.

When will the RFL make a decision on any disciplinaries given that it is Bank Holiday?

Lee Briers gives his verdict on how many games Sam should get.



Well done MattyB for finding this BTW.

Review panel meets Tuesday, anyone called up goes to Red Hall on Weds.

It does and what seems to be missing generally is any idea that Leeds as a club need to get a bit of grip on the section of their fans that abuse players to this degree.

People may remember the abuse hurled at our U21 side at Castleford a few seasons ago following the salary cap issue. That was orchestrated by the announcer! Now I am not saying Leeds as a club have egged their fans on to make this the issue it is but not stamping down such abuse in what is supposed to be a family game reflects just as badly on them as that incident did at Castleford.

Sam dosent need to get involved in things like this and the showboating he did when scoring one of his tries against Bradford. He is so much better than that as a rugby player and if you listen to people like Rouges as a person. Let the people who throw abuse at him carry on and Sam can inflict pain on them where it hurts most UNDER THE STICKS .

I had one of the earpieces so you could hear the ref. When ST did his ridiculous run in the in goal area, afterwards you could here him taunting the leeds players about never winning the Challenge Cup through the refs mic. This man has no class and seriously needs to grow up, otherwise he will become a hate figure rather than a legend.
