Reported on Superleaguefans site that Wigan Warriors have issued S. Tomkins with a censure and fine for his actions at Wembley on Saturday. Apologies issued by club and player to Leeds club and it's supporters. Well lets hope that draws a line under his petulant actions and that it is a lesson learned.

Wigan will be hoping by doing this Tomkins will avoid a ban from the RFL ahead of the game against Warrington - hollow, the club should have banned him if they wanted to send out a message.

Maybe, maybe not, but still it is good to see Wigan RLFC acknowledge the incident and be seen to take action against one of their own. As I said on another thread, I wouldnt want to see a witchunt against him for this, he has to take this as a lesson to learn, and let his rugby league do the talking in future.

After the BBC gave it such a broad audience on Saturday there was little else Wigan could have done - this is the very least they could have done - hollow gesture in my view.

The club have done the right thing there, and Wigan as a club tend to conduct themselves pretty well.

Sam Tomkins, not so much. I'd be surprised if he's even seen what the Press Officer has written for him.

This ain't over by a long way.
Tomkins will get booed in every game he plays in this year for club or country.
I'm not condoning the booing but it's sure to happen.
Leeds fans will get the blame though, regardless of opposition

So was Lee Smith fined and made to apologise last season?

what for Rouges celebrating a match clinching try

Ban him for 100 games. Ruin his life.

Why would he be banned, seeing this type of thing has happened numerous times without a ban being given?

I know this may be incredibly difficult for some but they need to look beyond the fact it was Sam Tomkins and move on.

Idiotic and immature.

Same goes for Piggy.

Saints banned Kyle Eastmond for doing the same thing to his own fans. So much more should it have been a ban for a player doing it to opposition fans on TV in front of potentially millions of viewers.

Cop out by Wigan; just damage limitation in the hope that no ban will be issued by the RFL. Still think it should though because the ruling body cannot be seen to be soft.

BOOOOOOOOOO ! ! !
I hope he gets a career-ending ban

I wonder how big the fine is , and if it will actually come out of his pocket .


As regards the booing at Headingley ..
He was booed in Leeds , so it was all of the Leeds fans that were booing him .
Can we expand that and say that he was booed in Yorkshire , therefore it was all of the Yorkshire fans that were booing him ?
Can we expand that a bit more ..I am sure you can see a pattern forming here .
Ooooo ! Poor precious little Sam .
To be honest , I think he dserves another chance . I will give him that chance if he walks to the Leeds fans next time we play them and apologises .
T&Cs of an acceptable apology are as follows :
He must kiss the badge on TMFMISL's shirt .
He must get down on his knees and beg us to forgive him .
He must serve cake to any fat lads in the crowd .
He must give Damo a job as his PA .
Then we can give him one final boo as he gets back to his feet .
