I was at the game but must confess that I didn't even hear the booing, but am content to take it on trust that it occurred.

It must have been utterly and heart-breakingly unbearable for the little chap, I bet the railings outside Headingley are covered in flowers and teddies by now.

I didn’t and never would boo an England player, they demand far too much respect for me.

That being said Tomkins is a little tw*t and I can fully understand why fans from across the rest of SL would want to voice their disapproval with him.

I can also fully understand why mentally challenged rugby players such as Pryce, Peacock and Murrell would believe that because the game was held in Leeds it MUST have been Leeds fans booing. It’s because they’re not very bright.

Indeed peacock when signing a book for me was not sure how to spell ste.

Yes. It must have cost Eddie a fortune.

A friend of mine once asked him what ink work he'd had done on his arms - not fully understanding the question he replied "tattoos".

Nuff said.

damn, rovers and Hull fans will probably get the blame

I get the group representative bit, but I've never really understood the idea that you should automatically support every player, simply because he's playing for the National team.

A snotty little scrote is a snotty little scrote is a snotty little scrote, whether he's wearing a Wigan strip....the English colours....or a bloody pink tutu!

In Tomkins junior's case, until he changes his ways, that will be my considered view.

And if I can be d to boo, I will.

Now if last Fridays game had been Yorkshire vs Lancashire, booing would have been acceptable, as Baby Ratboy is a Lancastrian

However, I would imagine even then fans from Warrington or Saints would have joined in the booing, safe in the knowledge that Yorkshire folk would take the blame

Technically speaking, he wouldn't play in a Roses Origin match on account he wasnt born in either county. Which if my sources are correct he was born down south somewhere and the family moved up here to Chorley at some point.

Incidently, I was speaking to Josh Charnley last week and I asked what reception he got at Hull KR. He said when they were reading the Wigan team names out they booed Sam Tomkins but gave Josh a big cheer. Was it due to the fact that a herd of us Rhinos made the special effort to go over there to boo him??? Think not somehow....

Yes he does have talent but it is time he realised that he needs to grow up and play the game in a sportsman like manner and stop conning refs and looking like he is having an epileptic fit when he is tackled. Or is it perhaps that he has got his d1ck in a worm hole and he is enjoying it - I dont know.... Either way he needs to grow up!

I don't get this attitude from fans.

He's a professional sportsman, doing what it takes to help his side win.

If Ryan Bailey (I'm using him as an example, classic Bailey) niggles on the floor and wins his side a penalty it's evidence of his value to the side, but if Sam Tomkins does it then it's conning the referee and being unsportsmanlike?

I would suggest it's not Tomkins that needs to grow up.

Did the Leeds fans also sing "we all hate Leeds" ?

I can't recall having heard anyone express respect in quite that way before

Somewhere a posh pensioner has just opened a display cabinet and found that one of their Royal Dalton teacups is missing it's storm. Shall we give it back?

Lets get un-serious here....

Yes I heard the chant " we all hate Leeds" and assumed it was the Leeds fans being as the game was in headingley

Think this has been blown out of proportion myself...

yes they sing we all hate Leeds even when Leeds are'nt playing,but we love it

It was coming from the South Stand

Therefore it was the Leeds fans who were singing it.

Simples.

I've heard the RFL are re-considering playing England RL games at Elland Road during the 4 Nations due to the behaviour of Leeds fans booing Ratkins last week.

i was stood in the southstand on friday night and in my usual spot.
i was however surrounded by fans that all wore different coloured team jerseys although old cedric was still next to me.
now cedric often gets confused due to his age, but he did say to me,

i cant get my head round the fact that on a normal rhinos game night that fans from other clubs are not only standing in big eric's and fred's places in there but that they are also shouted abuse at the home players,big eric and fred would never do that!

surely even the daftest wigan fan can get the gist of this can they not?

I did for craic

In true Wigan style they have pulled down the 25 page Tomkins thread where they hate Leeds for 25 pages!

When it was pointed out to them that if people slag tomkin the pies say that is because other fans are jealous? so what does it mean when they do the same to Leeds? the thread got deleted shortly after!

They are a bunch of weird weird people! And I'm being totally serious

Being.

insular,smalltown hicks

I think I should delete this thread in a tit-for-tat retaliation just like when America and Russia used to evict each others ambassadors for fun back in the 1970s.
