I honestly can't comment on that.

However, when I said loads I was referring to the fact that I see a lot of people who have a track record ahead of Sam at the moment and I don't think I am in the minority.

I have said that he is class and has that golden aspect; potential. He is reaching all the goals I think people are setting out for him. But, as I have said he has the niggly quality (such as trapping the arm) that other fans really hate. I am sure that is something that endears him to Wigan fans (as a Wire who likes Lee Briers, I get it) but he isn't making himself any friends in the terraces outside of Wigan with his school boy antics.

That is the reason I think this booing campaign has started.

Joey Johns didnt in super league...and forget the start keep going into the hole.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It worked well last night.

So to plan B

Next week when we play Leeds we cheer (politely) every time one of the Leeds England players gets the ball.

That'll confuse the hell out of their players, speccies and the Sky team.

Mentioned that to my mate last night decided it may be a little distracting though.

They can see how good he is and they are trying to put him off his game, its not going to last too long when they realise its not affecting him and he's actually playing better because of it... if teams and fans are targeting sam then it just gives the rest of the team space to run riot

eeeerrrrrr because he is good!!!!

They seemed confused enough when you were booing Sam last night
Completely out of the loop, those lot!

this is getting complicated now

Ablett?

If we're cheering Leeds' England players we need to do it on a noticeably ironic way, e.g. by shouting "Hooray!!" in an exaggerated, RU-esque manner.

This.

Sam Tomkins isn't getting boo'd purely on the basis of his talent. I'm against booing him completely, however anyone who thinks Tomkins is getting boo'd exclusively because of his ability reveals quite a narrow-minded victim complex on their part. It doesn't justify booing a player who plays for England whom everyone someone be supportive of, however the niggly part of Tomkins game is what has bred this booing compaign.

You can argue that the 'niggly' factor is part of his drive which makes him different from other players, but he needs to concentrate on eliminating the deceptive part of his game if he is ever to be considered in the league of 'classy' and respected players such as Cunningham and the like.
