Expecting a ban?

Nope. Warning letter and a fine. Everybody knows that your not allowed to tackle a Tompkins.

Not sure "sending off sufficient" will do-there was only about 10 minutes of the game left IIRC

Pair of s.

hope he get 5 games

Who.......... Sam, Joel..........or both?

2 game ban and £300 fine for joel.

I put it on the match thread from the weekend half an hour ago.

Joel - 2 games/£300
Sam - 1 game/£300

Radford - 1 game/£300
Yeaman - 1 game/£300

Are bans, like injuries, put down to the Rugby Gods then?

No

There you have it... the Rugby Gods! have spoken.

i'd happily safeguard both those tomkins brothers from any bans for the whole season
on one condition
that they both get a good hiding this season,and that rob burrow gets off with both the gbh offences scott free

Excellent news that both should be available for the game against Leeds in a few weeks time.

Especially Joel, who is considered quite a week link in Wigan at the moment, if he can be riled up then hopefully TMFMISL will have his number.

Will he be employing Burrow to hide behind after he's wound him up?

Hopefully, then it will be the 13 of Leeds vs the 12 of Wigan.

Nah... it'll be 12 v 12.
He always goes missing after he's been threatened.

[uThe scenario is usually[/u:
1) Employ some niggle - cheap elbow or forearm, third-man in of course.
2) Hide behind other Leeds players (like Burrow) when it kicks off.
3) Go AWOL.

4) Still being on the pitch, he is permitted to be replaced by a team mate from the bench, thus enabling Leeds to maintain the numerical advantage he has created.

In order to be replaced, he'd need to be found first. A difficult task given that he's already disappeared up his own twitching anal sphincter.

He is brave enough to step on to the Rugby pitch, that will do for me. Or just look behind Rob Burrow, as that is where you said he would be hiding.

So is Ian Kirke.

He is, there is quite a formidable list of people brave enough to play Rugby League.

Yet they don't all create niggle then hide behind others when a real toe-to-toe fight threatens to kick off. I've not seen J. Tomkins run away from a fight yet.

you wont see it for the next two weekends either. Whereas Ian Kirke will be playing at Headingley on Saturday.

Will Bailey be playing the next two weekends?

I'm trying to help you out here by maintaining your (and others) obsession by turning another thread into a discussion about Bailey.

TVOC forgot to include his OPTA stats for the Salford game.
