OHHH you can imagine it on Tuesday in front of the disciplinary panel.



Disciplinary Officer - Mr Maguire any mitigating circumstances of why Mr Tomkins made the gesture which he is been accused of.



Maguire - He used to support Warrington.



Disciplinary Officer - Stop we have heard enough. Our Decision. Guilty but we will ban Matt King for 6 matches due to the Warrington like behaviour.

Sam Tonkins is disliked because he has class and skill. Putting on an england shirt, should get him praise, or encouragement. If the 2 finger salute was his signature then I would say, "you deserve all you get" but it isn't and he doesn't. The leeds team completely illustrated what bad loseres they really are, they tried to steal the moment of celebration by trying to kick off, and they failed miserably, they couldn't even do that. Now THAT IS unprofessional. What a disgrace to the game, nevermind the day.



Great win Wigan, next time Sam, blow them a kiss, it'll p--s them off as much, but the RL wont do a thing about it.

I agree with this.

Better still, concentrate on your game, forget about winding the crowd up - it had worked pretty well for him up to now.



Let's not have a player giving the odd mouthbreather in the crowd a 'reason' to hurl bottles / coins on the pitch or kick off with a rival speccie.

Only just read that Wigan have fined him and issued an apology to Leeds and their fans.



The correct thing to do not only because it's right but because it lessens the chances of a ban for Sam.



Now where's that apology by the Leeds club and it's fans for Sam over the shameful booing of him at the Exiles game........no thought not!

It's being Wellens-esque again then?

I have a problem with it for many reason, not least it shows that he's letting the "fans" get to him......that means they're winning. Sam's better than that. If the club have fined him and issued an apology then

That is a good statement. No excuses or mitigation, just a straight apology.



Well done to the Wigan club. Yet again we show that we are leaders in standards across the board.



Standards had slipped in many areas prior to IL taking over.



IL's leadership has turned the club around and got us back to where we should be, a club of the very highest standards. Being the very best in all areas is once again the goal of the Wigan club. That is why we are successful again, not because we have the best coach or the best players. Those things are the end result of setting the very highest standards. The Wigan ethos is back and it's great to see that even the best player in SL is being held to account for failing to behave properly.



Thank you, Mr Lenagan.

King did it the day after King knuckle shuffled, Sam took 2 days, is that Wire leading the way

But it's a bank holiday today! Praise our web masters for putting it on

I think it's something to do with that new bar they've put on it with shortcuts to the RSS feed and the Twitter and Facebook pages that's slowing it down. Never did it before that was there
