Justice will be done if the RFL treat Tomkins in the same way they have treated others for the same offence.

Are you on glue?

Was the other occasions on national tv at a games showpiece? Not that it makes any difference as the others should have been acted on, but the fact remains as shown in your picture if the RFL have to set some sort of ruling here

What is with the need for altering the spelling of team names ? Dire , Stains , Whinos , Dulls etc etc . It really is pathetic and childish .

The Briers and Myler incidents both happened during TV games, I posted the Briers one on the last page. The RFL have therefore already set the ruling.

I have seen very little to make me smile on RLfans since Saturday. But that has made my night.

Awesome post. Thanks.

IMO it's less professional to react to opposition fans but it is more stupid to react to your own. Potentially a career suicide in fact.

A bit of friendly banter that doesn't hurt, inconvenience or spoil anyone else's enjoyment.

But none of those games was the showpiece final of the season being broadcast on free to air and internationally having been discussed by the pundits and complained about to the broadcasters. A slightly different context, I think, especially when the 'offender' is touted as a poster boy.

Are you seriously suggesting that disciplinary matters should be determined by who is broadcasting the game, it's importance and the profile of the player?

Perhaps Jonh was right?

So what you are saying is the rules of the game should change for finals?

In that case i would hope from now on all games shown on terrestrial tv, rugby league players are banned from picking up the ball and only have to use their feet.

The last two days of internet crapola summarised in one. Excellent post Sir.

Yes, when the matter is one of conduct. That's exactly right. The reputation of the sport is important at all times but it becomes more important in the high profile games and when high profile players are involved. The bigger the profile, the greater the impact. The bigger the player's profile, the greater the player's responsibility.

Like I said, I think you are being obtuse.
