It's funny how there's a difference between how RU supporters regard their legends and how RL supporters regard theirs.

If you talk to some union fans about Martin Johnson, Rory Underwood and Jeremy Guscott their names will be spoken about with reverence and respect. But if you go up to some league fans and ask what they think of Shaun Edwards, Gary Schofield and Martin Offiah all you will hear is a load of abuse about what idiots they all are.

I think we can already see the difference in the emerging Sam Tomkins, the unionites can't get enough of him, while league fans boo him, rile him, call him Rat Boy and slag Phil Clarke off for talking him up.

I think Sam knows where it's better to go, there's one sport followed by people that are well bred and educated and another followed by thick yobs from up north.

to f'kin right n f'kin muney's betterer in T' poop game n' all

Edwards ....can't stand the 'ickle tw@

Sh@ on League when we want for the big money in Union...and he was a snidey thug on the pitch...apart from that he's OK.

Any other goons that want discussing?

Shooting off to RU isn't quite accurate. He threw his hat into the ring for us in 2002. We opted for Steve Anderson instead.....
