Suspended fine of £1000 is not a strong message. Seems RFL caved in.

What is the point? Another stupid thing to be done by the idiots who run our sport. If I put what I really thought about them and Tomkins it would be deleted instantly, yet he makes the game look bad and he gets that. I think we need a change of management in our sport.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

It was a stupid thing he did. He's been fined by his club and he has a suspended fine from the RFL.
There's no need to go over board with his punishment. The way some people have been acting, you'd think he'd killed someone.

....and it's not as if he posted them on Facebook. That'd have been a 4 year stretch in the current climate. |

First job is to get rid of Nigel "Pudding" Wood, that guy really needs to shed some timber, bet he took up 2 seats at Wembley.

Agreed. It seems to me that all too often the demographic of RLFans is "hysterical Daily Mail bigot". |

Personally, if it had been, say, Charnley I would have said a fine & a warning was sufficient, so I think he has got off fractionally lightly, but I won't be frothing at the mouth about it. Cue disgrace/joke/bent etc etc.'"
Seems the RFL dealt with it exactly as they should have, to me. Including ignoring Apoplectic of Headingley. BTW we were at the top of St Ives yesterday when Mrs A came out with "Isn't it around here that we saw your mate teletubby?"  |

Surprisingly, apoplexy's pretty thin on the ground amongst our lot, both over Tomkins' actions and his punishment. Fans of other clubs appear far more traumatised.

This Facebook thread sums it up nicely for me:
www.superleague.co.uk
Tony Smith is urging Sam Tomkins to let his rugby do the talking after Wigan's rising star was punished for his infamous Wembley V-sign.
My response "Death by hanging for me. Then they need to drag his lifeless body through the streets of Leeds. How else will RL regain its reputation in the eyes of the world?"
Response to me 1 "Christian by name and nature. He without sin and all that..."
Response to me 2 "Here we go again! Christian grow up!"
Response to me 3 "shutup christian you idiot. Sam will soon realise life is better at rugby union if fools like you keep boo'ing him and hating him?!"
Response to me 4 "Just ignore him there is always some prat who thinks he knows best. Did we ban Sean long for life for betting against his own team or Ryan Bailey for assault no punishments were handed out and that's the end of it" |

I'm sorry, I was under the mistaken impression that a large number of apoplectic Leeds fans booed Tomkins' every move for 80 minutes in the international, till the veins on the sides of their head popped. I must have popped in and out of an alternative reality or something, where "Booooooooooo" means "Huzzah, play up, Tomkins". |

No, the mistake's mine. I thought this thread was about Tomkins' behaviour during the cup final and the punishment he received, not an international game from a couple of months ago.
As for your alternative reality, I hope you return soon. It seems a most unpleasant place. |

Ah, I see. You thought Tomkins' gesture was a purely random event, presumably done for no reason at all, and totally unconnected with any history between him and Leeds fans. I suggest your alternative reality does not help you understand events in this one. |
