Unfair on the rest of the team ?? That's like saying a player shouldn't get a ban for a spear tackle cos its unfair on the rest of the team. A bit of an odd point of view.
Dodgy calls by the ref should be debated, we all know they happen, its when they happen beyond normal that it warrants further debate and this match was both unusually important, nationally watched and dodgy decisions played a part in the result, so worthwhile commenting.
So your complete bull remark was complete Bull !

That's a bit simplistic, don't you think?
It's a team sport - his Chairman, Coach and Captain have a responsibility to manage and moderate his behaviour; when they fail, the whole organisation is vicariously liable, just as when he scores a try that wins a match, they all share in his success.

Of course he should, I've never said once I condone what he did.

Sam tomkins has dishonored himself and dishonored the squad. I have tried to help him. But I have failed. I have failed because YOU have not helped me. YOU people, have not given Sam Tomkins the proper motivation! So, from now on, whenever Sam Tomkins s up, I will not punish him! I will punish all of YOU! And the way I see it ladies, you owe me for ONE JELLY DOUGHNUT! NOW, GET DOWN ON YOUR FACES! [/i

| Only a suspended fine because he plays for Wigan, Wigan are the games ambassador in the RFL's eyes and anything Wigan do that's negative must be seen as trivial. I wish the RFL would crack down hard on idiots like Tomkins, Bailey and the violence/trouble at Cas or it's only going to get worse.

Or maybe they should crack down on the big fat bag of nothing that Wakefield bring to the game. You should be out on your ear, and it's a pity your not, Halifax would bring a great deal more to Super League that Wakefield could ever dream of.

Quote: Lupset_Airport "I remember when I smacked 3 lads outside the Fleece and one ran in bloody and came out with two more lads, they smashed their pint glasses on a wall and came for me. Lucky a cop car pulled up at that moment or I'd have been in for it. I'd broken 4 bones in my hand. I went into the Fleece new years eve that year, thinking let bygones be bygones and got thrown straight out. Glad I don't live in Horbury anymore.
Sometimes you'd drive through the centre and idiots would just walk out into the road and boot your car doors.

It would be interesting to see where Wigan would be today had they not been allowed to cheat their way out of relegation in 2006.

I think we've been an embarrasment to the sport at times, like a lot of teams have but juxtaposing Halifax with us wouldn't see much differences. I'd like to see us both in tbh, Fax - Trin derbies used to be very passionate, for the love of god RFL get Fax and Feath out of the same division.

Great swathes of the Wigan 'fans' who are revelling in their recent success won't have a bleeding clue what you're talking about.

We'd have come straight back up. The RFL would have seen to that.

| Tomkins will have the weight of Englands hopes on him in the Four Nations.
His flapping running style with arms and legs flung out at wide angles will see him with a broken Limb eventually, his unorthodox running style has been noted by the Southern Hemisphere teams, even Saint George on a quick end of season up shut him down.
