Sure. I'm not denying Cunningham is a feisty tackler. But Tomkins is only just walking so far as an RL career is concerned yet already he's been before the beak 5 times and I'm not sure when Cunningham's last sin binning was whereas Tomkins has already had one!

Exactly he,s already done this kind of tackle that has injured a player to Damien Blanch, Ryan Atkins and Kieron Cunningham. Also unsavoury moments at kicking at the ball when the opposition head is next to the ball, and we have a couple of incidents of kicking out to the face when tackled.
Like I said before if Noble dosn,t teach him to play hard but fair then sooner than later someone will sort him out, the more he keeps on injurying players than the more I want to see him carried off, perhaps this will be the only way he will learn. Tomkins the players are watching you.

Think you'll find there was no charge on any of the incidents that you mention.
You are going a little overboard accusing Tomkins of deliberately injuring players via his tackling technique - a player of his size will automatically tackle round the legs and sometimes the impact as a result may be around the knee joint. Personally believe there was no real intent on Friday and the incident was blown out of all proportion.
Do you want a witchhunt every time a player is injured via a legitimate attempt to complete tackle? In that case what about illegal tackles like Pryce / Wilkin on Grix that caused injury and went unpunished? Or Cunningham punching out at Stosic? Considering Saints offenders got off lightly in both incidents stated, I think there is a certain degree of hypocricy going on!!!

would you get over this whole kicking the ball away thing.
Everyone does it, he's saved a couple of tries already this season.
There's nothing wrong with that!

There is when a player has already committed to diving for the ball. And he has already been fined for kicking out in a tackle, just missing someone's head at the time (I saw the incident). He came extremely close to Meli's head with his boot on Friday night. People may find that idea funny but if he'd cracked the guy's skull then perhaps he would have been up before the beak for yet again behaving recklessly? Whether intentional or not, certain decisions he makes with regard to tackling need to be modified before he does someone a serious injury. The game is tough enough without players behaving either maliciously or recklessly when tackling.

| Please dont make me laugh, when you have Cunningham doing all sorts eg nearly taking someones head of in the opening minutes.
He would never crack Mellis head with that wig on.
