| To be fair to Tomkins he just got straight back up, dusted himself off and carried on playing. If he has stayed down and milked it then maybe the incident would of been spotted and reported. If it was Lee Briers the game would of been stopped for 20 minutes while he wiped the tears from his eyes and got himself a new pair of shorts.

At least he did not run 20mtr to punch someone like Cunningham did on Saturday to Coley.
I just hope Sam gets away with as much as Cunningham has over his long playing career.

Only if it's on Cunningham!!!
Hadn't you realised yet, he has special rules applied to him.

| Quote: J. Willard Gibbs "Whoah, whoah, whoah - if the RFL weren't signed up to WADA, why are you quoting WADA guidelines in support of your argument against Cunningham?
They have no jurisdiction in the situation we're talking about. You can't make a case for what should have happened according to WADA if the RFL weren't operating under WADA rules.
If they are playing sport under the auspices of WADA rules, they are subject to those rules.
Either the RFL were under WADA rules, and Cunningham was not banned and WADA didn't object (hence quoting WADA rules seems a little strange), or the RLF were [inot[/i signatories to WADA and eance quoting WADA rules is even more strange, and irrelevent in addition.
'"
Not really - seeing WADA are the world organisation regarding drugs in sport I think it's pretty reasonable to compare what would have happened. Cunningham escaped because at that time we hadn't signed up to their code when a lot of other sports had. Given the fact we did not that long after shows how lucky he was.

| Tomkins and Coley both got what they deserved - if they cant take it, dont dish it out.
As it happens, I didnt see either player complaining too much about getting a smack - they both knew they deserved it and had it coming.
Coley will have known when he belted Gilmour that he was going to get it back the next time he took the ball in - which is why he looked like he was playing full back for a few minutes after. At least he stayed on the field, unlike Ryan Bailey earlier in the year.
Its a mans game, and all the players know that.

TBF while it was not illegal if you lot don't think that Tompkins knew what he could cause by going in the way he did on the knee joint, then you are all very innocently minded.
Don't get me wrong, i really respect the player he is going to be & I'm not saying he aimed to end his career, but he went in hard on a joint knowing it could take him out the game and while maybe not illegal its not particularly "clean" its very similar to JJB does when he tries the chicken wing - but the RFL try to put a stop to that one.
Cunningham is no angel, but neither for example was Farrell or Sculthorpe. Senior and your current captain both love a cheap shot and there are many more the same or worse, all of these had or still have pretty clean records at the end of their respective careers.
Its a physical game, emotions run very high, there is very little deliberate attempt to injure which is good. Unfortunately its something all teams will have problems with both for & against for the forseeable future unless the RFL has a major clampdown.

the old adage springs to mind !! IF YOU GIVE OUT CHEAP SHOTS, EXPECT TO GET THEM BACK Cunningham isn't going to let a squirt like Tomkin's to try and end his career without a bit of payback LETS SAY HE GOT OFF LIGHTLY.
