Serious lack of leadership running the game. |

| Quote: Wigg'n "Trial by social media is nothing new. The reality is always harsher if/when the evidence comes out. The club probably received a complaint and thought the pair were just being a couple of annoying ed-up idiots - I bet RL clubs acorss the country get a load of these every year. Seeing as we're doing a lot of assuming, you could also assume the bar manager never complained of physical assault or Wigan would've taken a stronger stance.
The club should be applauded for reacting quickly to the evidence coming out, versus the Hull club that did sweet FA on the Albert Kelly video.'"
How do you know this, are you on the Hull RLFC board/management?
So you oppose trial by social media (or you should do) but want a club to release everything it does including personal disciplinary of its staff via social media so that the likes of you can make up tripe without any facts. I bet your workplace is hilarious when it comes to outing staff on facebook/instagram/ter et al with respect to disciplinary procedures  |

If you shout at someone who is drunk the chances are they aren’t going to take it very well. Sam and Joel should have left earlier however.'"
Sorry but you are victim blaming here. |

Well Joel Tomkins’ statement strongly suggests it was him who made the “arrangement” for the video to be deleted:
“Worried about what might happen next, and as a gesture of my genuine remorse, an agreement was reached to delete the video.“
That’s not remorse, Joel, that’s a bribe.

Interesting to hear one of the staff say to Sam Tomkins “take your mate out”. Amongst the condemnation, there have been a few comments along the lines of “they only filmed them because they are rugby players”. As the bar staff didn’t know they were brothers, it seems unlikely they knew who they were at all.
Think he’s got to go. He physically intimidated the member of staff at the door by putting his face into her’s and then strikes out at the member of staff who is filming (as she is entitled to).
I hope the RFL are able to bring charges too.

RFL bring charges. Dream on dude, they won't do anything just like they stayed silent on the Albert Kelly affair.
Is there another sport where the governing body sits back and does nothing when incidents like this happen? |

Should be a police matter, common assault and public order offence.

You maybe right in principle but in reality they would have most probably just got a caution and it would be a waste of taxpayers money |

Is there anything in the RFL's operational rules that allow them to take action?
The players are ultimately employees of the clubs so in the first instance it is up to the clubs to address any breaches of discipline. This isn't the NFL where the players are effectively centrally contracted.
