Doesn't suprise me and he should probably get a fine but a ban would be harsh for a first offence and it was only on Danny Sculthorpe afterall

Im surprised gaz hock aint up before the beak with leading with the arm.

it was nothing

I knew this was coming. Personally I don't think there was malicious intent, certainly if Lee Smith can get off for kicking down into someone's face, Tomkins should get off for kicking up - you could at least justify it partly by saying he was simply trying to get a quick play the ball in.

For the try incident?

if so surely not as the try was given therefore already judged to have been legal(which it was as from one of the angles it was clearly shown his hand went into the Wakey players face first).

Ye just at 1st glance it looked far worse than it was.

His intentions were to free himself from Sculthorpes grasp and not to intentionally kick him in the face.

No ban, maybe a fine.

hocks was a fend, nothing else

Yeah it was a worry at first on the screen but on the reverse angle it became clear that his hand had hit him first.

A lesson for the Wakefield defender is not to go high on Gareth Hock or you'll get bounced off.

2nd actually- Standing on opponent in Wigan vs Saints game

Letter as to technique, NFA.

Sculthorpe a diry barsteward anyroad, when he where here he constantly pee'd about at the play of the ball, he got what he deserved even if it was an accident, overrated prick

Bentham - "Your foot was literally 6 feet in the air"
O'Loughlin - "Wasn't 6 feet"



Even the commentators had a good chuckle. Made me laugh Sculthorpe mouthing off behind 2 or 3 players at Tomkins aswell.

i laughed at that as well, is he even 6 feet tall?

As has been said previously, the Lee Smith one last year (on Phil Bailey??) was horrendous imo and he got off with just a fine i think. So we shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Tomkins was kicking out as many players do to show the ref they are trying to get up but if you watch closely Sculthorpe lifts Tomkins' leg up when he was about to kick out and accidently boots him in the fizzog!

No action should should be taken!

But fair play to Sculthorpe, he could and probably would have banjoed him if he wasn't 3 stone wet through!

26 on report and only one charged? and its a wigan player, well there's a surprise.

Tomkins should not get any punishment for this, I dont see any intent for this, his foot was never 6ft in the air

I agree. That was worth 2 or 3 matches.

I'd have to watch it again but he seemed to glance Scully on the side of the head but he held his face immediately.

Utter rubbish.

Case dismissed.

If Sulcthorpe didn't still have hold of Sam's leg 3 seconds AFTER the ref called held, he wouldn't have been kicked.

why do we need a s*&t house prop when we have got Big Sam. first it was Palutua now it is Sculthorpe!

Peacock and Morley in the next few weeks too!

Morley's gunna be injured isnt he?
