Very unprofessional.

Lee Smith springs to mind in a play off game

He's just pointing out that there are two Tomkins!

I would say the so called England fans who booed him during the international did more harm to our game.

Bar hooliganism, a player who gives a V sign to opposing fans in a showpiece final in front of millions does more damage than any fans can. Get real.

Jesus christ... there was probably around 70,000 fans giving each other the V's Disgrace? You make it sound like he raped someone live on television, well I suppose on the tomkins brothers try he raped the Leeds defense

Putting Sams thing to one side I would just like to point out what tainted a very, very entertaining cup final. Both teams were very good today. The officials were not and neither were the BBC. Leeds were hard done by today and I challenge anyone to disagree. Next the BBC. The so called biggest and best at live broadcast in the world, well let me tell you they were utter garbage today and they will be hearing from me. I work in the industry and I have never ever seen such poor pictures broadcast for a live event. Come the RU world cup you won't see that. They will all be there doing their best to put first class pictures out. You could actually see the racks being adjusted seconds after the director had cut to the camera and if it was in focus it was bonus. If the BBC want to treat our biggest cup comp like that then let SKY have it. I never thought I would say that. Next, if they were having texts and emails about Sam why not pull him and give him the chance to apologise at the time of the interview instead of saying it two seconds before you go off air. Having said that Wigan should not have let him near the camera after what he did. I wanted Wigan to win today and thats hard for a Leyther but after his fingers went up I found myself wanting a Leeds player to really hit him hard. Been one of Sams biggest fans but he needs to come out and say sorry, keep his head down and play as good as he has been doing.

As an RL fan I was really disappointed with Sam's actions today.

Why oh why did he have to do that,I know he got some grief from the Leeds fans in the Exiles game but he should show his talent on the pitch and not giving stupid V signs to the Leeds fans and the BBC camera,such a shame because it spoilt for me an excellent game which either side could have won.

An absolute crazy thing to do and he clearly is having problems handling his high profile. The fact that his sporting conduct on the field in winning penalties is questioned by fans has led to a lot of negative reaction from fans. His incident today is a disgrace from a professional. Did Wayne Rooney receive a 3 match ban for swearing into a TV camera? How is this different?

It was silly, but understandable. I've nothing against the Leeds players (except the dirty element, McGuire and Bailey mainly), but the behaviour of their fans in the last twelve months has been nothing short of babyish.

Lengthy ban? No.

1 match? Maybe.

A fine and stern telling off? Definitely.

Although precedents were set last year after Lee Smith's fan taunting last year, what was it he got... oh, yeah, nothing.

I doubt that. That was a mid season non-international shown by Sky. This was the final of our most prestigious competition which was being broadcast internationally. Tomkins embarrassed us by doing what he did. The last thing this sport needs is that kind of publicity.

If lee smith got nothing then expect 5 games.

I don't condone what he did I think it was stupid but I'd be interested to know what the Leeds fans were doing to provoke it. Though I think they did enough at the exiles game.

I don't agree with what he did, however, I would like to ask how many of these opposition fans are utd fans? Did you agree with rooney's ban for actual verbal swearing at a camera. Don't be hypocrites just because it's Sam. Other players have done it and got away with it why should Sam be punished just because you guys are all jealous of his skill on the pitch?

Good players get booedso what!!!!!
just let your skills do the talking, he's a good player, there's no doubting that, but he's not a great YET, he may be one day, but antics like that today don't help.

Well done on winning, Leeds played well, they had you rattled, enjoy it...................................
