If he hadnt been booed playing for England would he have done it? No. Doesnt excuse him from doing it. Hes given more ammunition to those who want to knock him!
He was stupid to do it and has been fined and apologised, but if the Leeds fans cant take it dont give it!
There was a group of 15 leeds fans giving us the fingers when they got back to 16-14 we banning them?
Did the RFL ban Eastmond or Lee Smith?

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

@Chrisirvine don't you jump on the bandwagon. This doesn't need refuelling. I thought you would have a longer memory than most!

He works for The Times, that should answer your question. |

As a Leeds fan, I wasn't particularly offended by Tomkins flicking the "v". As a rugby league supporter, I'm slightly irritated that his actions have deflected a significant proportion of media coverage away from the more important aspects of what was a great final. Hopefully your club will make him better aware of his responsibilities. Providing they do, it should go no farther as far as I'm concerned.

DONT JUST FOLLOW THE TEAM SUPPORT THEM: |

To be honest how many Leeds fans saw his guesture..probably not many but cos it was shown on the BBC ( a channel who never cover our game favourably IMO) they are claiming they did. Everyone should watch it again. On the replay of the try from the side angle Harrison Hansen and Joel Tomkins also react to something at the same time. Maybe someone said or did something to them. I am not for one minute excusing Sam but think people need to get a reality check. Players from other teams behave badly but they are not the big draw for the media as Sam is.

Ive had an argument with him on there too. He's the type of idiot that you can prove wrong and still he will carry on as if he's right. Massive idiot. |

I think he just thought it was a funny thing to say (although it isn't really)

He has previous though. Its like Ryan Bailey he may actually hit someone high by accident one day but because its him noone will ever believe he didnt intend to do it. |

You won't get too many high shots from Bailey, Jamie Peacock actually makes plenty more, but I appreciate that doesn't fit with the agenda  |

I agree with you. To be doing high shots Bailey would have to turn up earlier to the tackle than being 3rd or 4th man! There is normally to many players in the way or the player is lying face down by time Bailey comes with his cheap shots!

I was merely commenting on the idea that he's got a history of high shots, which appears to be a figment of hula89's imagination. The other areas of his game are another debate for another time. There's a nice long thread on Southstander for that kind of stuff  .

Well that just shows he has such a bad reputation that I just assumed that would be another dirty tactic he'd employ so it, in effect, supports my argument.
