The only person at fault was the referee for not shouting held.

If they don't get any blame for not hearing a hooter that every other person in the stadium heard, they're not going to be blamed for not shouting held are they!
Refs don't make mistakes according to Cummings. |

I've actually seen the letter. It's from Stuart Cummings telling Tomkins to pick on someone his own size.

If the roles were reversed and KC had done the same to Sam, he would have snapped his leg in two. The RFL realise this and have sent him a letter.
Fair enough.

Why the hell would they work on hindsight? |

Why would a match review panel work on hindsight?
Do you think they have a team of clairvoyants predicting incidents, or do you think they might look back on them after they've happened?

They obviously don't work on hindsight. But, what you suggested, was IF Cunningham had done it.. blah blah blah.
Thus, hindsight. |

He tackled him around the legs. you see that tackle every game
the tackle wasnt complete and sam completed it. if the ref shouted held and he was late he would have got a pen against him. pathetic by the RFL seems some at HQ need to justify there wages |

I don't think you know what hindsight means.
The RFL realise that that type of attack to the standing knee of a tackled player is very likely to cause injury and so have sent him a letter.
If a player the size of Tomkins can cause someone the size of KC suspected medial ligament damage by attacking the standing knee once tackled, smaller players would pick up serious knee injuries every week.
FWIW I'm not sure he meant it, but it's to be discouraged, hence the letter. |

KC wasn't tackled as the referee had not called held, play was in progress.
If the Saints 9 had offloaded play would have continued.
KC could have taken the tackle but tried to continue, Tomkins tackled him.

He went in on the knee joint side on. Might have meant it might have not. Hence a warning. We don't want players of any team getting legs broken through that sort of tactic developing. Again, not saying Tomkins meant it but I suppose they may be trying to nip it in the bud before we get 2 player holding a man up and someone coming in on the knee from the side.
I remember Vila Matautia carrying the ball in and dipping really low at an opponents knee with his shoulder. Wasn't anything illegal about it but he got warned or maybe even banned. Suppose it comes down to spirit of the game |

IIRC he did Chris Chester with it and put him out for a while. No doubt the same people claiming total innocence were doing the same thing then... |
