you see I dont mind that, he rarely (if ever to my mind) gets penalised for it but gets his team plenty of penalties by doing it...so why stop ?

its out and out cheating but if the refs are too stupid to spot it its not Tomkins fault.
And if opposition players are also too stupid to not spot it and let the ref know or give Tomkins a crack to highlight the illegal play for the ref, then again not his fault.

What I would have problem with is his pooh house tactics like going in on Morris with the Knees,
head butting a player on the floor for no apparant reason
the cowardly 3rd man in from behind or the side aiming at the knees, as was first made famous when he did it on Cunningham.

he's generally an on field tool and forgetting the years he has ahead of him in the game this season I wouldnt have him at Stand off over Lee briers nor full back over Brett Hodgson...

next year if he became less of a knob I'd have him in our team no danger

Was about time, i figured.

No, not really!!

It was like when you learn wrestling is fake. It is the first time i have really disagreed with what sally has said.

full marks for the irony in this post

for some reason, im not sure it was intended sally!

If i was more successful i'd have more drivers, 1 is never enough

makes for a golfer though

I am loving that what i am getting picked up on is having fat fingers. : )

Thanks Sally. you're a pussy cat really

I don't much like the on-field attitude of either Tomkins brother but good half-backs tend to be newty blaggers ( c.f. Andy Gregory, Alex Murphy ) so maybe it goes with the territory. Seeing as their dad was a Warringtonian ( or at least lived here - I was at school with him ) they could easily have ended up on Warrington's books.

The majority of great half backs have some sort of niggle built into them, to be a scrum half you generally need to be a little cocky so and so and crafty to go with it.

The one by Sam Tomkins on Brett Morris with the knees was a cheap shot, it was total class from Morris just to walk away as it would have been easy for him to lay the little cocky so and so out on the turf, i`m a fan of Sam Tomkins as a player its just ne heeds to learn how to balance out the niggling which is fine from the cheap shots.

I'm a Tomkins fan too, but any day now someone is going to absolutely clatter him if he carries on with all this sneaky underhand stuff and put him out of the game for some time.

If he tries that arm grab on someone like Radford, he'll soon stop it

Pretty sure he's had a few people clatter him already.
Ablett pretty much elbowed him in the head at Headingley last year.
Anyway he'll just keep getting back up!

Im still praying for the day when he does it on Morley!

And the no sherlock award goes to ....

no ablett took sam out, and rightly imo!

what lockers did to robinson was an elbow, and unprovoked too i might add!
