Now how will the mighty innocent justify kicking an opponent ?

I am sure rules state "Sending off !"

He's an idiot. I won't defend him

2 weeks on the run!

whos that

Should have been 10 mins. Stupid. Danny m flicks out but nothing major and Joel reacts in a ridiculous way.

Now go back in your hole.

What do the rules say the punishment is for kicking the ball out of the hands of a player playing the ball ??

Yup... stupid error, looks a liability at the moment Joel Tomkins. Also gave away the first pen when he wouldnt let Burrow get up.

Joel Tompkins

Me thinks pie man in Yorkshire needs a new tv !!!

You cannot deliberately kick an opponent - period !!

Used to be able to both play for the ball once the ball was being played - however Joel's was a blatant kick and should have been a straight red IMO.

There's a lot of things you can't do , but players get away with them every week.

ha ha, just playing deveils advocate....

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.....

That's why we are champions !!

Keith senior, keetle pot and black.

Alibert claimed it was a push with the knee?? It's a kick where I come from.

Needs a ban for that. Not impressed.

Fishta - step forward gobby:

1. Joel - kick to the head
2. Sam milking two pens that led to tries (watch the replay)
3. A spear tackle a piece.

You seem to have an opinion on every other side!

Joel was petulant and should have walked BUT watch it again and you will see Mr Maguire BITE Joel on his left forearm.

The kick cost us the game. Gifting Leeds two points and we went on to lose by 1. Hopefully Joel realises how badly he let down his team mates tonight.

He should have got ten for it in my opinion. Doesn't deserve a ban though.

I hope to god he didn't swallow or Danny was poisoned!!

Wasn't clever from Joel, that. He's gone steaming in on a few occasions over the last two weeks and he's been lucky not to be given 10mins at the least. There were some big hits from him last weekend, but he's also let himself down.

Not sure where the two spear tackles suggested above were, though. Only tackle that could be considered a real spear was on one of our lads from what I remember.

Stupid by joel should get banned for that dont need it

He's embarrassed us with that. Maguire should have taken him off. Lack of discipline ultimately cost us the game, imo, but that was something else!

Any other ref with a pair of balls would have shown him a straight red, but not a "homer" like that French .

Both Tomkins are becoming liabilities, which does not bode well for England

Joels was shocking. Should have gone, and as such should get a ban.

Sam did nothing wrong. Neither Mcguire or Sinfield made any attempt to get their arm out. Sams arm wasn't even clamped down, the ball was the only thing touching the players arms.

Sinfields was a lot worse than Mcguire, he just lay there and didn't make any attempt whatsoever.

Joel deserves a ban.

BUT so does Sinfield for his high shot.
