Ask Luke Robinson about that. |

I don't condone malicious foul play by anyone, but it really is funny the righteous indignation that spews forth when a team is sinned against when a plyaer isn't seriously hurt by said assault (TBH reading some of these posts I'm surprised Tomkins isn't actually dead).
Where are these same fans when the shoe's on the other foot (as it has been before and will be again)? No doubt they will be saying that 'they' aren't defending Wigan player X when it happens, but the hypocrisy is still hugely amusing.

| Quote: LS16_Rhino "A forearm to the face is wrong and should be punished I agree but what about a ‘facial’ when a player is getting upright from a tackle – it’s illegal and designed to cause un-comfort (possible harm) to the attacking player?'"
Yes, should be punished.
Quote: LS16_Rhino "What about when player ‘A’ deliberately rubs his head against player ‘B’ in the tackle?'"
Can be difficult to spot, but yes.
Quote: LS16_Rhino "Now you say you’re ‘not that dim’ but I bring that statement into question by asking where have I defended this practice? Where have I said this should go unpunished? Where have I said that Abblett shouldn’t be facing a trip to Red Hall?
What I’m saying is that incidents like this happen all the time and, like it or not, is part of the game.'"
NO IT ISN'T. And that's where the issue is. You're suggesting that this is part of the game, when the reality is there is no place for it.

The problem was it wasn't a tackle, just a forearm to the head. The fact that Ablett "isn't a dirty player" or "Tomkins wasn't even injured by it" makes no difference at all. It was illegal and had the potential to be very dangerous.

I asked somebody at the gym yesterday about the incident, as I have not seen the tv pictures of it, what they thought of the incident. They commented back that it looked bad at first. I said what do you mean at first, was it bad or not. The response was that the commentators were fuming about it. I asked again, if you had turned the sound down was it bad. The response was that he was stupid going in like that, but it looked like he was protecting himself more from the impact rather than going for the other player.
So I am still non the wiser on the incident. |

There's no doubt the Sky commentators made more of it than it was. Don't get me wrong it was a bad one but not as bad as Steve et al made out. |

Have you seen the size of Ablett (who was moving, Tomkins was stood still) compared to S Tomkins? If you need to "protect" yourself like that, then he shouldn't be playing rugby league. |

Size doesn't matter in RL. |
