There's no moral ground to be had. He faces overt antagonism and outright hatred from opposition fans every time he walks out on to the field, calls from opposition fans for one of their own players to injure him, attempts by said players to injure him, constant booing. All supposedly justified--and constantly defended--because he allegedly niggles in some unspecified way unique to himself and no other RL player. The sheer hypocrisy in feigning shock when he returns the compliment is laughable, and some are going one further by claiming his flicking the Vs is the reason he's booed rather than the other way round!

Given this then ... Perhaps you might like to explain the flurry of abuse that Sam 'Can do no wrong' Tomkins subjected Rob Hicks (the touch judge) to after the last Leeds try ?

Had Hicks been booing him ?

Is Tompkins exempt from respecting match officials too ?

Hicks was doing his job and yet was subjected to an Alex Ferguson style 'hairdryer' from someone who thinks he is bigger than the game.

My regret is that Rob Hicks 'bottled it' and failed to bring the incident to Bent-Hams attention ...

I thin he'll be hated all his career from his actions. I think hectares hate to another level from the names you've listed above.

Oh I don't know. I forgot Goulding. It always seemed very intense at the time.

I don't think Sam has taken it anywhere. I just think your common or garden RL fan has just stopped being a fan of the game and is now a fan of the club. These fans hate people who beat them.

I would even suggest that many fans have never actually played. Something that you couldn't say ten years ago. So perhaps they don't realise how good the lad is.

Thought it wasn't the Leeds fasn booing him at the international?

I'm not suggesting for a moment that there weren't Leeds fans booing him at the Exiles game, but you ought to take a long hard look at who was doing it.

Of course, the stick he's taken at other grounds has been perpetrated by a small group of 'Special Forces' Ninja Leeds fans sneaking into grounds across Northern England wherever Wigan are playing and have been highly training in leading the local fans in the booing of Tompkins.

Maybe you need to stand in front of the mirror and read this post back to yourself. He's a 21 yr old rugby player who wins the odd penalty who gets booed and stuck two fingers up. You were unlucky yesterday but nobody got pushed into any gas chambers.

You forget the volley of abuse towards match officials ....

Only confirmed to the Nation what we knew all along. A half-decent player but an embarrassment to the game today. Well done Sam!

Typo corrected

If he's an embarrassment to the game / nation ... Let's not bother watching him 'represent' us at the Four Nations then ?

That's if they can find him ....

Against the Southern Hemisphere sides last year, he was complete anonymous, despite the banana boots.

Clearly Wigan have signed the Hindu God Vishnu. With the deity's many arms, it can still embrance the try scorer and yet still make it appear the Sam Tompkins is flicking the Vs at the Leeds fans ....

I suppose you are all angels and never swear.

Lets be honest, what Lee Smith did last year was far worse and he didn't get a ban.

I don't recall Lee Smith verbally abusing a match official .... Can you remind me of it ?
