Booing a player doesn't bring a fine with it. Homophobic or racist chanting would but he's white and I believe he's straight so that shouldn't be a problem. Given that Leeds fans already call James Graham a fat ginger barsteward then there is a clear run ahead for Leeds fans to call ratboy anything they want really, so long as it's not homophobic or racist.

I'll say something about the Pies....they don't half bite!!!!

Chomp...chomp...chomp

Champions, and CC holders, and yet they still have a massive chip on their shoulders

Love it

This is an absolute disgrace – typical no-bollox RFL. Tomkins should be banned for at least the rest of the season and into next season as well. There is no place for him in the international setup either.

He should be made to apologise to each and every Leeds fan individually and should have the offending digits removed to prevent him repeating this disgusting behaviour.

There is no place for people like him in society if you ask me.

We'd like to apologise for not ensuring that Sam Tomkins' hand didn't explode following his dreadful gesture at Wembley. We were both out of the room at the time (paying the pizza delivery guy and getting more beers in) so missed the incident on TV. We'll get him next time though. Cheats never prosper.

Yours Sincerely,

The Rugby Gods

I think some of yow rhino's and saints chaps on here are making a gratter nuisance of thee sens, it was only a chuffing V sign, i think tha making a rate fuss over nowt! Young Sam wouldnt give a bread cake what tha says, trust me i know him better than i knows me sen!

get over yourselves

The RFL not banning Sam for one game does send out the wrong message to all the kids out there. However I am sure when Wigan visit Headingley next season I am sure Sam will be given a warm welcome. All we need is for the RFL to give Bentham the game with Hicks running the line and all will be complete.

Media = The puppet master
RFL = The puppet

This thread is so Money Supermarket, it doesn't even know it.

I really aren't that bothered by what he did, so this is just a general comment rather than a "Tomkins Specific" comment...

What's the point in a suspended sentence/fine/ban? I mean in general?! Either you did the "crime" thus need to be punished, or you didn't thus don't. It's hardly rocket science is it.

In terms of crime, usually used on first time offenders, a incentive not to re offend, or straight to jail. Thats the theory anyway!

Firstly... alright mate! Not seen you on here in a while!

Secondly... Excellent theory, although one that I don't subscribe to. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I'd have thought the game has even bigger issues than Tomkins to deal with if this actually happens.

not the first time he has done it. warrington and saints fans have accused him but it wasn't caught on camera

I just hope and pray that Warrington give Wigan a real good bashing in the playoffs if they play against em and we don't!! As for the BBC commentary of the CC!!! Talk about anti-Leeds!!! Balding and Robbie Hunter-Divvy-No one wants me at their club-Knob-end-Paul may as well of had Wigan scarves on!!!
