Looks to me he has been reading too much of his own publicity. Brings the game into disrepute. We are not footballers. A one match ban

According to reports he`s even denied it, well showing from that picture i can`t really understand how he denies doing it. Instant Ban !

Problem is he won`t get a ban because he`s the rfl golden boy. He`a a professional sportsman and should act like one.

Not that fussed tbh

According to the Leeds fans we should boycott international rugby because of Sam's attitude

Classy RL player.. shame he cannot bring some of those qualities to his personality. I expect the RFL will brush it under the carpet until Hetherington makes a complaint a few weeks later.

He is a horrible pr!ck. So he is good at the game? Does that give him the right to act the way he does.

Grade A fanny.

When I take the words "sam" and "Tomkins" out of it what I'm left with is a scenario where a player should be told by the RFL that his actions were stupid and anything like that in future will net him a ban.

Sadly the conspiracy theorists with their feeble intellects will herald this as proof positive that he is a 'golden boy'. Quite why he gets peoples juices going so extremely is beyond me.

What gives you the right to act like one?

Stupid thing to do. Even though I'm half-tempted to say he deserves a medal for the delightful collective apoplexy he has caused amongst a subset (sub- being the operative prefix) of the Leeds fans, and it was really little worse really than when Karl Pratt ran in front of the Leeds fans that time cupping his ear - or when Macca belted that penalty as hard as he could into the Threepenny Stand - no, even if maybe understandable it was just plain stupid. Deserves some punishment.

But as for the name on the back of the shirt...violent disinterest on my part. Stupidity is stupidity, regardless of who is the perpetrator.

I am not acting like one. I am telling the truth.

Given Stevo's fondness of jumping on the bandwagon I wonder if he'll be lambasting the rat this Wednesday night? I won't hold my breath. After his disgust at the booing of Tomkins at the Exiles match Stevo had better have earplugs in for the Four Nations because he's going to get some right stick.

I remember Lord Lowes giving the self-same salute to the Leeds fans when he was sin binned in the Bulls-Rhinos game at Odsal in 2003. I don't think Jimmy was punished further for that, but it was his farewell game.

Tomkins should probably be punished, but I suspect he'll get off. It'll tunr out he was confirming he was still available for archery practice after the match.

Tomkins is an idiot, and from what we see of him, doesn't seem like the nicest piece of work, if a rugby genius. Having said that, he's a young lad and not too bright, and to have had thousands of morons booing your every play while theoretically supporting your team must have messed with his head. It would certainly pi$s me off. Doing what he did was childish and he couldn't have picked a worse occasion, but the supreme irony is that the people calling for his head are in large numbers the morons who abuse him with vile language yet see no contradiction in themselves behaving like foul-mouthed gutter dwellers yet claim to be mortally offended by a two finger salute.

sam will not be punished by the RFL or by the sky pundits for his idiotic actions as
Phil Clarke has apparently already taken sam in hand and given him the full rounds of the bedroom
