Quote: SaintsFan "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.'"
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.
