I think there's something in this. As I've said elsewhere, there's plenty he could do to avoid irritating the great unwashed, nad he opts not to do it. I think he enjoys winding people up.
In my book, if people are so easily wound up, they deserve what they get, and to be fair to Tomkins, it isn't him who leads getting all ypants-ish about the reaction he gets.
I'm still looking forward to seeing him play in the Autumn tests, and I sincerely hope he can wind the Aussies up as effectively. |

if he winds up[ the aussies enough to make them make mistakes and give us a chance of winning he will be hailed as a hero by all the plebs who boo him |

Pity the bit about the wembley V Flick was shoe horned into the program, but overall Sam is just a kid living out his dream and is obviously very hungry for success.
he is within a Wigan club that now has a culture for wanting success and sams antics IMO are just his will to win going slightly over the top yet he is being pummelled for it by the media and the oppo fans.RUNNING SCARED OF WIGAN DOMINANCE !

Given that it has been in the news, it would have been fairly shoddy journalism even by Sky standards not to mention the "v" incident. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Sam says his first game at FB was at Quins away. That was the first time he started at FB.
The first time we saw him at FB was Widnes away in the cup I think.

It was Quins away. Richards played FB against Widnes, Tomkins only played a few minutes at FB. |

I think it was Nobby who was going to try him at 1 but Tim Smith's injury meant he was used at 6.

In his MOTM interview after that Quins match he said "there was talk of me playing Full Back but when Tim Smith got injured I had to go in at Stand Off" or words to that effect. Not sure why on earth I remember that so well |

| I have only just watched this and Sam seemed very level headed to me. I do not live in the RL heartlands but this has not stopped me being a Wigan season ticket holder and a Rugby League supporter in general watching every televised game. We need to hang on to this lad, stop all of the rubbishing now or he will be off.  |

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

By far the vast majority of his detractors have never met him or seen him interviewed in this way. He came across exactly how he really is - quiet, modest, unassuming. Hopefully his profile will have been improved as a result. Who knows, he may even get cheered for England!

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

Same, I tried to record it at 1.30pm today, but live Golf appeared instead. Don't know how they make that mistake in the first place. I'm guessing it will be on the Sky Sports website in the next couple of days  |
