Bit out of order if you ask me. He may be a Wiganer but he's still playng for England and should be supported.
I know he's a bit of a sly player but is he really that hated? I cant really recall off the top of my head an England/GB player getting stick like that before
Back on topic, yes I've heard it before, at Elland Road in the tri nations as Harris took the field.
The Leeds fans do turn up in numbers for internationals in Leeds, but they bring their club mentality with them.
I've been at internationals at Wigan and Bolton and Blackburn, you will hear the odd comment about why is so and so playing, our player is so much better. But generally Wigan and Saints fans will keep their club loyalties in their back pockets and get on with supporting the team.
Tomkins was good tonight, not his best but better than some, I thought the Saints lads did pretty well, ok Wilkin threw a little over robinsons head, but he did break through. Robinson was pretty decent too, a very good player, filled in well for Roby. Thought Macalorum did not manage to keep us moving forwards the same. O'loughlin had some good moments. Thought Westwood and Graham ran really well, but Carvell and Morley did not offer the same threat, peacock had 1 decent run from what I saw. But in the end we just defended mostly. Our lack of decent halfback play meant we did not make much, when we got good field position.
I liked the way Wilkin and Meli got stuck into each other during the match, a few niggly digs like Wilkin flopping late on Meli over the try line. Not quite an orgin dust up, but still.
