Having read comments on here and other forums, I'd say the closest comparison is "Your Mother is a Whore” comment made to Eric Cantona. And keeping with the same comparison, young Sam should be congratulated on his restraint!

[quote="bill.inger"]a poster calling himself Phil625 on the thread "Tomkins in trouble, V sign" entry 17 and he says, quote, he hopes" Tomkins gets a career threatening injury". (What are the mods doing about a headcase like this on their website). The guy that wrote this may live on my street and drink in my local, not a nice person at all. The entire thread is so bigotted that you start to doubt the sanity of the posters.... quote]

One of the drawbacks of the internet and message boards and social networking sites in particular is that we tend to assume everyone who posts is an adult with more than a single brain cell but the reality is this could be some spotty faced oik who is still wet behind the ears but who becomes macho man on the other end of a keyboard. On the other hand it could just be some bitter twisted opposition fan and I don't know what the answer is but it must be very hard to live with if you see rubbish like that written about you so I really hope the players just don't read any of these sites. :(

He will be lucky to get away without a three or four game ban.
Idiotic.

Someone has posted already that its not a disciplinary offence as far as they can find on the RFL rules. Its more a breach of the spirit of the game. So hopefully a fine and a smack on the wrist
Its not in the disciplinaries for the CC

It was meant to be a ban until the end of 2012 but the RFL being so inept typed it wrong!
