i do see the difference, but my personal opinion is that while Tomkins is a niggly player, who does play for penalties, that is how professional sport works, work up to the rules, and push there boudries, if the referees alow it, push it further. IMO i dont like alot of his play, and think the RFL should clamp down on alot, especially trapping a tacklers arm with the ball, but thats down to the RFL and refs. Sam is just pushing the boundries, finding any advantage he can as every proffesional should
I fully agree with you, why did St Helens bring in a wrestling coach? to slow down the play the ball by getting them on the ground.
Getting back on thread It was just a stupid childish reaction by both players, one was clearly seen by the referee and not by one camera on TV and that will be the end of the matter.
Some people here love to attack by saying stop going off thread and this obsession with any mention of another local club other than Saints, then do the same in their response with silly childish name calling!
