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 |

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

So is Jamie Peacock but he doesn't get booed.
Sam gets booed because he's cocky. Given his position and quality though it's understandable.

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

Off somewhere seeing places that make your heart sing.
But always supporting the greatest team in the greatest game - Wigan RLFC.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52031.jpg |

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.

| Quote: jdrocket "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.'"
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. |

Yeah it needs to be like when the team sheet is read out and theres a short "wayy" for every player.
That way its short and may put them off more than just cheering normally. |

[quote="Saddened!":2s3i877q]In all seriousness I think Sam Tomkins will disappear. The real star is his better looking back row brother.[/quote:2s3i877q]
[quote="Damo-Leeds":2s3i877q]Sam Tomkins is just mere hype hiding behind a good team. Danny McGuire is the real deal.[/quote:2s3i877q]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9237.gif |

I think he already has. I haven't seen him do that arm trapping thing for quite a while now. Has he done it this season at all? |

I wish that the people who need to find an excuse for the so called England fans that Booed Sam need to pull the heads from their own backside and concentrate on the own team.
As far as i am concerned they are nearly as bad as the fans that booed him in the first place!
