| It is defenitley not in the morals of th game at all! Its also not in the rules that when taking a conversion you aren't allowed to welly the ball into the onlooking opposition players but u just dont do it! If he has to cheatto gain an advantage heisnt half the player people believe he is.

To be fair you could pick half a dozen incidents per game that are not in the spirit of the game, I really don't think it is a big deal as lots of players do it.

| Quote ="talulah"How can the ref allow additional time? [size=150The time that a tackler has to get away from the tackle is specified in the rules.[/size If the ref allows more than that then he is not applying the rules of the game. which is his job out there.
You could argue that the rules should be changed, which is a reasonable standpoint (bearing in mind the consequential difficulties that could arise from that), but criticising Sam Tomkins for playing to the rules shows that you are probably arguing this point just because it is Sam Tomkins. I understand that (I dislike Leon Pryce for example, partly for how he plays, but mostly because he is so good
) but it is not the basis for a solid argument.'"
What rules have a specific number of seconds to disentangle yourself from a player you have just tackled? Please show me.

| Surely its not good when you have to pull a fast one to get a penalty to get you closer to the try line, Wigan have enough quality players to do this without other fans from other teams going against them, S Tompkins is a very clever fast player one day he will meet his match, i would say its the other Tompkins brother who is more irritating, just hope we stop em both on Fri night or were in the ......................

| Quote ="ExiledWool"The problem with the holding down is that it always goes against the defender. I don't think I've ever seen a penalty given against the attacking player for holding down and thereby not allowing the defender to leave the ruck. Is there a rule for that?'"
There was a penalty in the Featherstone v Halifax game on Thursday night for exactly the situation you described. You're right though, they are as rare as rocking horse poo.
As for Tomkins cheating, it's complete nonsense. Watch any NRL game and you'll see the same thing happen several times during the game. As someone said before, if Tomkins did it against the Aussies to win us a match winning penalty, we'd be happy enough. It's something Maguire has brought over from Melbourne, where Billy Slater is a master of it

I think your missing the point.
It's the way he does it and does it repeatedly that suggests it's premeditated and annoys fans.
