The same class Leeds fans showed by booing tomkins at the start of the game, or Ryan Bailey did by clouting him after the first half finished? If people want to treat him like a pantomime villain, they can hardly complain when he acts like one.

I suppose everybody on here is an angel and never ever swears.

Not into a BBC camera in front of a national audience, no.

What's Bailey got to do with this? Do Wigan fans make flags with Leeds players on too?

He has taken much worse stick than that.

Anyway, V for victory will do fine for me.

I'm kinda glad he did it rather than just taking all the stick he gets, despite it being a little silly. Other players have done much worse and got know ban.

What goes around, comes around.

You really are the biggest moron on RLFans

If I went on national television representing my employers and stuck two fingers up at the general public, I'd be sacked without question.

Unacceptable behaviour by Sam Tompkins.Maybe Wigan as a club should take a lead in this and discipline the player, unless of course the chairman and coaching staff condone this sort of behaviour.What sort of message does it send out about the 'family game'.Hurry up and leave for Rugby Yawnion Sam.

Regardless of how much of a twonk he is, I still want him to perform well for England.

Likewise, but he's not making it easy for himself is he? People don't hate him because he's good, they hate him because he's a smarmy, arrogant, childish little scrote. He thinks he's so funny, but those kind of characters in sport tend to have things happen to them somewhere down the line, which they won't like and which will make them think a little.

Wigan as a club could solve this quickly. Publicly announce he's been fined and given a warning. Regardless of how the childish Wigan fans on here will think it's such a cool thing to do, it's embarassing, for him, his club and the sport. He comes out weekly with these statements that the abuse doesn't bother him, but he makes it so clear that it does and he cannot handle it. The v isn't the most serious thing in the world, but it shows he isn't dealing with it well. How long before it's a bloke in a pub he reacts to or someone in the street? Along with Wigan's responsibility to deal with the issue, Tomkins himself also has a responsibility to come out and apologise for it.

Ian Millward got sacked for gross misconduct. I think that it’s only fair that Wigan do the same with Sam. It’ll be interesting to see who takes on Sam Tomkins. Only downside is that Millward was a shadow of his former self after he left Saints!
