Tell me how you would feel if Danny McGuire had have done it to you ? I don't imagine you would be saying "oh it's ok, he gets booed for England".
However, that said, congratulations Wigan, you won, and that's the bottom line. I have 2 kids who keep my perspective on life, so I won't be going mental over this, it's really not worth it, petulant, yes, stupid, yes, making a mockery of our game yes, but wanting him banning for "x" games, nah, just have a word and leave it. As before, well done on your CC win, if the Grand Final is a repeat it will be a cracker ![]()
I agree he shouldn't have done it. Simply no need. however, just to pick you up on one point, it has been done to us only last season by Mathers and we didn't like it much either. However, if I remember rightly, nothing was done in that instance (or other similar instances by other players) so why do people think it will/should be in this case? Is that double standards? I think the proper course of action would be to fine the players who do this sort of thing, but by that, I mean ALL players, not just selected ones because they're opposition fans pantomime villains .

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Aye. Joel scored a cracking try, but any other Leeds play would have tackled him IMO. |

He made an equally awful attempt at tackling Charnley too when he scored his try. |

| I think Sam could do with a mentor from another team, some one like,...... Ryan Bailey or Sean Long or maybe the Jammer Graham that goes out to St Helens on a saturday night thinking he's gods gift to scousers.
Good lad Sam, I take it every time Sam scores from now on we will all be giving the fingers to him?
Maybe Sam should start betting on Wigan to lose.... 
That will give rugby a good name   |

Must admit, I reckon Pete is spot on with his description of Tomkins Junior as a runt. He's got that weedy too close together eyes look to go with his snide tactics.
His v sign was simply him displaying his ignorance, and if he continues with it will maybe result in some ed up fan coming onto the pitch. I'm sure that in the remaining matches the opposing players will be eager to point out the error of his chavy ways....

Or we could do exactly what we do every time a player has done this. NOTHING.
So was it ok all the other times then? Where were your posts calling for a ban then? |

Exactly the same explanation for all that pathetic booing in the exiles game. |

I've said it before in this thread and I'll say it again. The booing has come as a result of his actions in the past, it works both ways. Nobody gets booed simply because they are a quality player.
Ryan Bailey regularly gets booed because he's cocky and arrogant and he gets opposing fans backs up. I recognise that, why can't Wigan fans with Tomkins? |

I think you may have lost sight of what's being talked about. You lot have been crying about Tomkins getting booed for months! I'm merely pointing out that he's made a rod for his own back. |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.
