Or we could do exactly what we do every time a player has done this. NOTHING.

So was it ok all the other times then? Where were your posts calling for a ban then?

Pointless asking him ... he's clueless!!

Exactly the same explanation for all that pathetic booing in the exiles game.

I've said it before in this thread and I'll say it again. The booing has come as a result of his actions in the past, it works both ways. Nobody gets booed simply because they are a quality player.

Ryan Bailey regularly gets booed because he's cocky and arrogant and he gets opposing fans backs up. I recognise that, why can't Wigan fans with Tomkins?

Agreed, now can you all stop getting so upset?

I think you may have lost sight of what's being talked about. You lot have been crying about Tomkins getting booed for months! I'm merely pointing out that he's made a rod for his own back.

Oh yes nearly forgot that one. What happened to them? Nothing, Ziltch, Nada. But hey its Wigan and Sam Tomkins so hang them all!!

it was after the first try of the game...

Don't think I have, and I haven't moaned at about Tomkins getting booed as I think its funny and pathetic. I'm merely pointing out that some people want to criticise him, boo him, say all sorts of things on a message board behind a user name, then go cry to mummy because Tomkins apparently made a V sign, despite the fact that its happened many times before by players of different clubs.

It's a good job he doesn't go round headbutting reserve wingers !

Now now, lets detract from the anti Tomkins, anti Wigan bashing. Its only Wigan who do wrong, you know that.

winston churchill did it all the time.......its a victory sign.

maybe he was telling the leeds fans that we were gonna win?

until sam makes t clear which way he meant it, its undiscussable and hypothetical imo, until after the RFL make an announcement about it

Clearly Sam was signalling V for victory, emulating others such as Winston Churchill, IT Botham and not forgetting Harvey Smith.........

Not really a major issue though. Ok he was wrong to do it, and in retrospect I'm sure he realises that. However, this WAS the Leeds fans, who effectively started the whole "booing" thing off. I think this needs to be brought into consideration when evaluating his behaviour.

are you for real ? take that pie out of your mouth and take your cherry and white pyjamis off you pudding.
Maybe he was letting everyone know that the old sc-fi series 'V' was back on sky gold or something !!! What a load of bile you spout.
Fact is everyone not wearing a cherry and white shirt knows what a tool he is and just like other tools before him in this sport someone will comes along and probably do him some damage, ala newton / long.
There must be a queue a mile long waiting........great player but a complete tool and pig ugly.
I bet the midwife slapped his dad, and then gave him another when the youngest one popped out too !

Let me guess...without clicking your posts history, you're a Warrington fan aren't you?

All he was doing is letting the yawkshire inbreds know that pat was about to try to get us two more points

Great way to keep one of the best talents in the game - 'Fans' of other teams boo Sam because he's so good. Idiots like you then go over the top on anything he does to justify it.

So he may have thrown a V sign at people booing him - oh the humanity - get a life and grow some.

Can only say that if Sam actually heard what the opposition* fans were acually chanting (about his mother in particular) then his reaction should come as no surprise. From where I was sat it was a disgrace.

You can argue, like the grand old sage of RL Gary Schofield does today in that serious Sunday, The Star, that someone needs to have a word and teach him to 'respect' - but that doesnt help when you have an alcohol fuelled yob mob on his case week in week out.

Is he seriously saying Sam should respect these morons....as what? Fans of the game? Fair play? Considered opinion? Record breaking beer drinkers before noon on a day out?

It needs addressing all round, not just from Sam Tomkins.

* Not only Leeds followers, some Wakefield too

So the only way the dire, stains and cheats can beat Wigan is by having a combined rant at SAM? Pathetic, I'd start learning how to tackle and maybe train a bit harder....

I didn't like it, he shouldn't have done it regardless of what people were singing.

They hype over it is as bloody bad though!!

It was disappointing to see Sam swear on national TV whilst he's representing Wigan but the way people are talking the incident to be some thing it isn't he should be rightly fined and given a good talking to. I'm having serious doubts as to Sam being awarded MOS he's already an unpopular player amongst other teams.

I said this the other day, there is now for me no doubt that he has been the best player this season BUT this is voted for by the players and the players consensus (even talking to some) is that they can't stand him, they think he's disrespectful and mocks other players and they don't see the need for it.
If he just played rugby he'd walk it but it may be worth if you're a betting man having a cheeky punt on Roby.

Your 1st point i also agree with, fine him and b*ll*k him INTERNALLY and POSSIBLY make him release an apologetic statement.
A talk of a ban is just a massive over reaction + i want him playing next week, i'm of the old school thought of i always want the opposition at full strength.

I agree with this and also don't think he should be banned.
