will there be repercussions for him after his reaction to wigans first try.sticking his fingers up.

We'll see if he really is the RFL's golden boy if they take action for it. I'm pretty sure he'll get away with a slap on the wrist.

Absolutely nothing because he's the poster boy and the greatest player that's ever lived (not today though from what I saw).

Running to the corner like he's playing wendy ball to run the clock cheesed me off.

"But he's such a great player and all great players have that cocky side to them"

That's not how I view it don't remember Billy Slater sticking two fingers up at the fans or racing in at every stoppage in play mouthing off then running behind the bigger boys.

Bold of the BBC to talk about the V incident on the post-match show. Most of this would have been swept under the table if this was up to the RFL.

he won't have any punishment how can the rfl punish their golden boy? disgrace if they don't any other player and it was would be ban straight away most prob!

right im going to stick my nose out here a little to get it bitten off!!

Good for him .. how many of us fans have stuck two fingers up at the leeds rhinos when "we" have scored a try .. and we feel quite bitter towards are rivals!

i actually long for the day when players from each team wanted to play for that team and had a score to settle with the opposite number .. who they really didnt like and wanted to hurt (mainly fairly) in every tackle!!!

now a days ... if you go on twitter it is a total super league love in .. with players from each club mixing and skipping through daisy fields with each other .. @Deanwidders "hey hightower .. your wonderful" @hightower "no no your ace and i love you" .... oh please give it a break!!

ok on a semi serious note ... perhaps Sam has just over stepped the mark here .. But lets face facts we would love to see our players showing half the passion this guy plays with for HIS club!

Looks to me he has been reading too much of his own publicity. Brings the game into disrepute. We are not footballers. A one match ban

According to reports he`s even denied it, well showing from that picture i can`t really understand how he denies doing it. Instant Ban !

Problem is he won`t get a ban because he`s the rfl golden boy. He`a a professional sportsman and should act like one.

Not that fussed tbh

According to the Leeds fans we should boycott international rugby because of Sam's attitude

Classy RL player.. shame he cannot bring some of those qualities to his personality. I expect the RFL will brush it under the carpet until Hetherington makes a complaint a few weeks later.

He is a horrible pr!ck. So he is good at the game? Does that give him the right to act the way he does.

Grade A fanny.

When I take the words "sam" and "Tomkins" out of it what I'm left with is a scenario where a player should be told by the RFL that his actions were stupid and anything like that in future will net him a ban.

Sadly the conspiracy theorists with their feeble intellects will herald this as proof positive that he is a 'golden boy'. Quite why he gets peoples juices going so extremely is beyond me.

What gives you the right to act like one?

Stupid thing to do. Even though I'm half-tempted to say he deserves a medal for the delightful collective apoplexy he has caused amongst a subset (sub- being the operative prefix) of the Leeds fans, and it was really little worse really than when Karl Pratt ran in front of the Leeds fans that time cupping his ear - or when Macca belted that penalty as hard as he could into the Threepenny Stand - no, even if maybe understandable it was just plain stupid. Deserves some punishment.

But as for the name on the back of the shirt...violent disinterest on my part. Stupidity is stupidity, regardless of who is the perpetrator.

I am not acting like one. I am telling the truth.

Given Stevo's fondness of jumping on the bandwagon I wonder if he'll be lambasting the rat this Wednesday night? I won't hold my breath. After his disgust at the booing of Tomkins at the Exiles match Stevo had better have earplugs in for the Four Nations because he's going to get some right stick.

I remember Lord Lowes giving the self-same salute to the Leeds fans when he was sin binned in the Bulls-Rhinos game at Odsal in 2003. I don't think Jimmy was punished further for that, but it was his farewell game.

Tomkins should probably be punished, but I suspect he'll get off. It'll tunr out he was confirming he was still available for archery practice after the match.

Tomkins is an idiot, and from what we see of him, doesn't seem like the nicest piece of work, if a rugby genius. Having said that, he's a young lad and not too bright, and to have had thousands of morons booing your every play while theoretically supporting your team must have messed with his head. It would certainly pi$s me off. Doing what he did was childish and he couldn't have picked a worse occasion, but the supreme irony is that the people calling for his head are in large numbers the morons who abuse him with vile language yet see no contradiction in themselves behaving like foul-mouthed gutter dwellers yet claim to be mortally offended by a two finger salute.

sam will not be punished by the RFL or by the sky pundits for his idiotic actions as
Phil Clarke has apparently already taken sam in hand and given him the full rounds of the bedroom

I suspect that the RFL will "slap his wrists" . . . . even more so in light of this -> [urlhttp://www.code13rugbyleague.com/2011/08/29/wigan-take-action-against-tomkins-for-gesture/[/url

What it does show is that Tomkins was far more affected by the booing & the stick he got from Bulls fans after being knocked out by Raynor than he pretended. It wouldn't surprise me if he thought feck this I'm off to yawnion & megabucks where booing is just not the done thing old chap. Which would be devastating for RL.
