For pure theatrics look no further than Danny MGuire. In the cup game against Wigan last season he was chasing through a kicked ball, a Wigan player nudged him with his shoulder and McGuire went down like a premiership football player, with the arms waving around and everything.

A bit og niggle is not a problem as long as the player is prepared to stand up and take a possible smack for it.

Was that the same game that Carl Ablett nearly took his head off?

Give over you pillock. You're trying to compare Terry Newton to Sam Tomkins?

Have a word with yourself.

Exactly.
Yet JJB got penalised against Hull FC for pulling his arm free when it was trapped and disloding the ball in the process, Which is exactly what I would said would happen when it was first highlighted.
Like I said this needs sorting out.
Either the ball carrier gets penalised for holding the tackler or when the defender pulls him arm free as JJB did its a knock on the ball carrier can't have it both ways.

No, it was the fixture at the DW. You're thinking of the game at Headingley when the rugby gods attempted to extract their revenge for his blatant cheating.

Quite right Tomkins will never be the player Newton was - a fantastic talent, tragic end
