Thats right.
He denied it happened, he is a GRUB of the first order.

I am looking forward to the 4 Nations, he will be targeted and exposed, space in SL will not translate to space or Park defence at Test level.

He will have swift second rowers running at him like Freight Trains.

Thread tidied, Play nicely (or don't play at all) Any further instances of the 'r' word (wtid and Warrior24 take particular note) will result in bans being issued

I only saw the Sunday Times sport supplement and after the front four pages dedicated to the England RU team, then the next pages football, you can find a half page of RL on page 11. It's actually not a bad write up and has a good photo of J Tomkins en route to his try.

It mentions: "In embracing Charnley, Tomkins blotted his coppybook in gesticulating to the Leeds fans, who had booed him during England's mid-season international at Headingly."

But it then goes on to pardon him and smooth his way to inclusion in the front pages (RU) "His vision and nifty footwork spoke more eloquently, and his steepling kick that Webb failed to gather in a jittery display in the back for Leeds led to Wigans second try by the rumbling Lima".

He'll be eating prawn sarnies and sipping pimms by the end of next season.

The Tompkins witchhunt is pathetic. No ban for me.

]Tomkins is extremely lucky he's doing something that we as kids probably dreamt of, I know I did on the playing fields of Bewsey Sec Mod. He obviously needs reminding the purpose of sport.
He wont forget a ban, he will forget a quiet word in his ear !
Having said that I would rather beat Wigan with him in the team, but for Rugby league's sake, he deserves at least one match.

I think a fine and an apology would do enough.

BUT...

The fact that he's not even admitted he did it is probably worse. If he doesn't admit that, then he's hardly going to apologise for it is he? So if he doesn't admit it and apologise, then yeah he should get a ban.

Wire fans in one game ban shocker.

Did he get a ban for this?

Sam Tomkins was silly. He shouldn't have done it. He isn't the first and he wont be the last. After seeing it I reckon he might get a one match ban and a fine. However the RFL haven't been consistent with these rulings. The only player I can remember getting a ban was Dean Widders (I think) for giving his own fans the V-sign. We'll see what happens. Probably given the occasion and the huge public uproar because 'it's Sam Tomkins' will most likely see him get a ban.

Some of the reactions on here have been absolute classic though. Really impressed by the OTT nature some have when it comes to Sam Tomkins. Get a grip.
