Well seeing Briers did it to the Southstand during a live game and nothing happened and Myler did it to Wigan fans last season also during a live game and got a "naughty boy don't do it again" letter, as per usual you're talking poop.

I think the fact it is ST makes all the difference, the fact that he is supposed to be one of the games shining stars and is therefore at the forefront of press scrutiny, maybe he should be setting an example to kids who want to play the game with the same skill set he does rather than been the petulent annoying he seems to enjoy been.

In terms of being treated by the authorities it shouldn't, which is why nothing more than a naughty boy letter will be forthcoming.

So you don't think the RFL should be setting a marker down here then?

I don't care what you think about me or what other players have done at other times. My club issued a suspension to our player who did what your player did and so I'm coming from that POV as that was the best action. Since he returned from his suspension things have got better and better for Kyle and between the fans and Kyle. The suspension showed the fans that the club meant business. The so-called apology given by Kyle was believed by precisely nobody. I suggest that the so-called apology given by Tomkins will be believed by precisely nobody outside Wigan either.

The so-called apology and the so-called fine is a fudge and it won't work because nobody is naive enough to believe in any of it. A suspension would have given a clear signal to those outside the club that he was being duly reprimanded for behaviour which brought the sport into disrepute and then relationships could have been rebuilt after that.

Eastmond did it to his own fans! Saints had no choice but to ban him just to please the supporters. He probably would've been hounded out of the club if not.

As they haven't previously for the same thing, no. Then it simply becomes a ban for being Sam Tomkins, which I know would be welcomed by some, but fortunately not everyone is a knuckle dragging t, although I appreciate we are talking about the RFL here.

Others have done it and not been banned by the RFL - get over yourself. As already been pointed out Stains had to do something as Eastmond did it to his own fans, there's no way he would have been banned by the club if he wasn't already leaving for RU. King did the same to Dire fans and apologised, without being banned.

That was only one finger so it was only half as bad, right?
