So you're saying that the crux of the issue is that he gave the TJ a gob full (not something I condone by the way)?

If that requires harsh action from the RFL, then Graham, Briers and Wellens may have played their last games of rugby league!

Most fans boycott the international fixtures anyway. 25K in Wembley will make the international game a laughing stock. Television viewers will compare the attendances at the autumn Rugby Union World Cup games with our bonfire night "double header" and giggle. Get real.

Its a letter from the RFL and a word in his ear from his coach and thats all that is needed

Great thread guys.

Bailey will no doubt go to prison for taking on some of our academy lads, much worse than what Tomkins did... but hey ho...

Great rumour that one, not substantiated in any way mind, but great rumour anyway.

Funny how the person made the claim on twitter then swifly deleted the tweet

Check out the tantrum Mathers threw last week when cas had a try chalked off for a forward pass. Looks like there will be some long bans handed out pretty soon.

come off it, that was Mathers. He carries on if anyone dares has a different opinion to his on Twitter

Call me old school, but I remember :

- Players in the top flight copping eight game bans for the sorts of things that get a couple of matches these days

- A least one top flight (prior to joining Leeds ?) copping a Sine Die ban, which in reality put them out of the game for about 6 or 9 months ?

And for a few of you that know me outside of these boards ... Massively incorrect on a number of levels

I long ago gave up on these forums, but your original post has tempted me out of retirement.

It's probably the most childish, bitter post I've ever seen on RL Fans, and that's going some.

Just what exactly do you hope to achieve by a boycott of England RL matches?

And I'm not defending Tomkins behaviour; it was nearly as immature as your reaction to it.

I was on the tube back to Baker Street after the game with a lot of very knowledgeable Leeds fans, and in discussion there wasn't mention of that incident; there was some (in my opinion) justified comment that Wigan got the "rub of the green" overall, but they showed an appreciation of perspective that you seem to lack.
