Opposition fans are getting their knickers in a twist on the VT calling him the usual(scrote, ratboy etc) and asking why he's been chosen to do this. The answer is simple....he's not only the best rugby player in the country he's also articulate, intelligent and will give a good insight in to the game.



The RFL and Wigan are trying to get his face known outside of regular rugby league circles in the hope that not only can we keep him in the sport but that we can use him then as a vehicle to try and grow the game and keep current players like him and future generations in the sport.

Mainly mixed views on Leeds and Wire, no surprise.... But nothing on Stains board that i can see. Good on them....

I have to say, it would be amusing watching a Leeds fan boo at his own televison.

How would you know unless you was in his house?

You could probably hear it from St Helens! Not as good as watching I suppose, but still amusing.

Don't particulary have a issue with Sam doing the sky job. I can see people's point of view regarding why they don't like it as it appears he is being funded by outside organisations, and I imagine some Wigan fans would be a bit peeved if say a Wire, Saints or Leeds player had the offer. I personally think its good thing keeping talent in the English game provided the same offers are available to other teams in similar situations.



I personally like the idea of current players being involved and getting their opinions. Hopefully it won't just stop with Sam and other current stars get some air time as said it would be quite interesting getting their opinions. The newly ex

Players for me have done well with the sky team and would only improve the matches.



As for the booing. Never booed him, never will. Or any other player for that matter

Listening to Sam on Radio Manchester tonight it appears that he will have a 15 minute spot on Superleagues Supermen where he will interview a player about a famous try.

If you know where it says he is being paid by someone else please show us.... And how do you know we would have a gripe if someone else was doing it?... Seems to me like you have made up all your own "facts" here...

It doesn't and I haven't said he is getting paid by sky. I used the word appears, not stating it was fact. Also not stating it is fact that Wigan would have a problem if the boot was on the other foot, however you are deluded if you think not one Wigan fan would have a issue. As I said it isn't a issue for me but I can see some people's point of view as to why they don't like it.

I think he was supporting the fact that Sam is doing this. Don't see the point in trying to argue with him for the sake of it?

I was. Quite happy he is doing it.

I was trying to say probably badly that I can also see why some people might not like it (weather right or wrong)

Did he mention if the show time is being expanded? The usual 30mins supermen then 15mins sam and the super try or sticking with the current 30minute format?
