As I put on the Leeds board, Wigan fans went nuts over Mark Calderwood throwing a rugby ball into the Wigan fans at the DW Stadium a few years ago after scoring a try but appear to think this is ok.

Tell me how you would feel if Danny McGuire had have done it to you ? I don't imagine you would be saying "oh it's ok, he gets booed for England".

However, that said, congratulations Wigan, you won, and that's the bottom line. I have 2 kids who keep my perspective on life, so I won't be going mental over this, it's really not worth it, petulant, yes, stupid, yes, making a mockery of our game yes, but wanting him banning for "x" games, nah, just have a word and leave it. As before, well done on your CC win, if the Grand Final is a repeat it will be a cracker

I don't understand people gettting their knickers in a twist, it doesn't lower the profile of rugby or make US look stupid, it just makes Tomkins look stupid fine him and be done. I'm thinking today how many times i've heard the F-bomb at work today or the C word and this is just today, get a grip people.

he's only human, and I suppose Ryan Bailey is a brilliant role model

This could be the first and last time I ever agree with you



Well said

I'll be honest, I hate the little runt and I've tried in the past to give him the benefit of the doubt with him being a young lad thrown into the limelight but he's just a horrible little runt with total lack of respect in taunting fans and worst of all his opposition players.

However he's a very good player, the best player in super league and IMO has walked man of steel but his lack of respect spoils him and he don't need to do it.

Like I said, great player but horrible person.

he was a d***head today

sam will say it was jusy an unfortunate camera angle and he ment nothing by it.

Just today?

Lee Smith got nothing for something a lot worse. Tomkins will get 5 games if the RFL are being themselves...

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Bobbie Goulding used to do that every time he played Warrington. The Leeds fans were all giving him stick, he was giving them some back, so what?

If he wanted a good laugh he should have "THATS WHY" tattooed on his left cheek and "WE'RE CHAMPIONS" on the right, then he can moonie any fans that give him stick.

Daft thing to do, wish he hadn't done it. But I can't blame him after the way the Leeds fans treated him in the exiles match (not that that justifies it).

What ban did eastmond get from the RFL when he did similar to his own fans? would be a good guide as to how the RFL view it. Note occasion cannot effect any punishment.

Saying that a two game ban would give him a rest

Could James Graham manage to count to two????

Not really- I have worked in call centres before getting abuse down the phone and if I had ever swore back at anyone I would have instantly been fired. He gets paid a hell of a lot more than most. Many a player has been booed and that includes Wigan fans booing Long when he played at JJB for england but they have to deal with it. Did not like his attitude before this whilst playing and only got worse. Pity as follow him on twitter and actually seems quite liked within rugby players and seems ok on there but when gets on the pitch he loses that respect. He could be one of the biggest legends of the game but may become known for the wrong reasons.

For me maybe not ban him but stop him being nominated for any MOM and MOS this year as this would hurt him more and more in line that cannot be a role model with this attitude.

Sam was most definitely wrong for doing this. But with the Leeds fans booing him, what do you expect?

I hope that the club/RFL don't make a big deal out of this. We don't want to drive him out of the club/sport especially when he's admitted he'd try his hand at Union in the future.

Only idiots get offended by two fingers on somebodies hand

Everyone obviously saw 2 months into the future when they booed him then...

So England (Leeds) fans were boooing him in June for something he would do in August?

Clearly wrong of him to do it and I'm personally a little disappointed in him for doing it. However those who were offended by it, don't be so soft. And for those wanting match bans, grow up. A fine and ticking off is suffice.

On a side note, in the fracas that followed the final whistle, Mcguire clearly try's to headbutt Leuluai.

Only idiots try to defend Tomkins 2 fingered salute.

Obviously that's impossible but I'm sure the runt will get few more boos

name one team in SL or AUSSIE that woudnt have him in there side hate him love him,, this guy is a super rugby player get over it he plays for WIGAN.....

Nobody doubts he's a great player but he's also a great cock

You'd think so, but it's quickly become the de facto reason anyone has ever booed him.
