nah dont bother

you will just be on same level as a pie

I was in the SouthStand on Friday and seemed to be surrounded by Bulls fans, who were taking great pleasure in singing "we all hate Leeds scum". I can see the irony they were revelling in and accepted it in the jovial manner it was (probably) intended. Whilst there I also spoke to a few Cas fans, Giants, Wakey, Hull. Many of us, including myself, enjoyed the booooing to begin with, but tired of it quickly. The persistence of those who continued it for much of the game is to be admired.
I paid to attend the game and it was a pretty dire affair all in and after a few beers anything to raise the boredom became entertaining. Therefore I booed, I apologise to Jamie, Leon, Scott and anyone else I caused to raise comment.
I respect every player who takes the field and plays with integrity and earns it. Sam is supremely talented, but his actions annoy the sh/t out of me at times.

Dont feel too bad about it, those professional players got paid a decent wedge for 80 mins work, there are lots of unemployed actors who would give their right arm to be boo'ed twice daily in a 3 month pantomime job.

I hate booing. I don't even like it when we boo the opposition when they come out - I'd much prefer them to run out on to the pitch in silence. However, the abuse he gave Hall when he realised he should've passed and his general poor performance throughout the game could probably condone some anger against him.

He needs to think to himself why people might have booed him when playing for his country. In contrast, Joel Tomkins was very good, fully deserved his try.

Try doing what we do - applaud both teams.

It's only a game.

Oh no there aren't.

Oh yes there are

Please Mac keep the thread going and lets see how many hicks,whoops sorry how many wiganers come on and make a contribution

Sam Tomkins plays Rugby League, well! His scoring rate is frankly phenomenal.

If he decides to roll around like Anders Limpar looking for penalties, then it's up to the opposition to be aware of and wise to that. If they aren't, then that's they're bad. It's just a part of his game.

He doesn't need to be liked, he doesn't need to be appreciated by anyone outside of Wigan. Personally I have an issue with his antics, but I find him to be the most exciting player in SL with bal in hand, and he tackles like a trojan.

Boo him, not a chance, I haven't booed anyone since I booed Audley "Pantomime Villain" Pennant at Tattersfield in the CC. And even then it was because he was playing up to the role.

My hero.

You are the nephew of Brendan Carlyle and I claim my £5!

there is another thread ready to go for a pearler on the Wigan forum,its the one about bloody mather's .They are getting beat so they want it stopped

Wouldn`t you burst into tears if you were made to wear that shirt?

There's a name from the past.

If Sam Tomkins got the same curly mullet I don't think anyone would ever boo him again. I'd send it fan mail. Not to Tomkins, just to the mullet.

Indeed, which makes me wonder why the big fuss.

I don't like people booing players at internationals simply if they are from other clubs. Its that mentality that helps keep international league small-time.

well said that person !



great to see QLD stuffed btw !

International RL will always be small time until such a time as there are more than three teams who have not been artificially constructed in order to try and fool the news media that there are more than three genuine and competitive national RL teams in the world.

Indeed, maybe when the RFL take international rugby league seriously we might too. Central contracts? Mid season international break? A war of the roses series would be far use than the Exiles friendly. Then of course we'd be allowed to boo anyone we want without upsetting Eddie.

In todays news Maguire thinks baby Sam will cope with the abuse he suffered last week. Abuse!?!? Hell fire, wait til we get properly started

Hang about, booing because he's from Wigan??
I didn't hear O'Loughlin boo'd, nor was the sibling of RatBoy.
If disliking a player for cheating is a sign of small minded-ness then I will always remain that way. He has every talent to make him a great player, but he needs to take a long hard look at his integrity before he can really be recpected.

As for serious internationals!?!?! When I get to attend one this year I'll hold my tongue because there will be far more to be concerned with than what Sam got up to last month. The War of the Roses was a much better concept in my opinion and gave a bit of rivalry for supporters to get stuck into. The farce I attended last Friday was soul-less and point-less.

Presumably you boo Danny Maguire as well?

No need - he's already been punished by a much higher power.

I reckon a shoulder reconstruction and six months out for young Sam should be sufficient.

Feckin hell....17 pages!!

Is Ratboy really that good to justify 17 pages? Can't it be locked, just to peave off the tetchy pie mob?

From the Pie board, I note that some of them are trying to own the booing, so to speak, in an attempt to suggest it doesn't bother them. Recent events would strongly suggest otherwise....
