Even though the "RFL are investigating" if you believe some of the media, the precedent has already been set on this when Briers did it to the Southstand in the one play-off game the Dire have won, was picked up by Sky and even mentioned at the time by Eddie. Of course, nothing happened.

You'd think the Dire fans would remember everything about that game wouldn't you, however it seems to have completely passed most of them frothing at the mouth about it, asking for a ban.

Ban him !

You and I haven't agreed on everything in the past, but can I just say how much I appreciate your new name.

Did Lee Smith not get a telling off for using the "self pleasure" gesture at Shedingly two years ago?

Or Matt King when he did it to the Dire fans?

Decided a few days ago I was going to do it. Thought some would like it.

Stick with it ... it's got a kind of resonance.

And since when are any of them called Sam Tomkins?

I have never seen a reaction to any incident blow up like this has.

The amount of crappola on pretty much every board is comical.

King made a grovelling apology



All the Wire fans (probably as it was aimed at them) were calling for his head on a stick

What did Briers get? (apart from a round of applause from anyone who doesn't support Leeds)

That was one finger he stuck up, he was just letting the South Stand know that he'll be going for a 1 pointer later in the game. Guess what, he won the game for us with a late drop goal, case closed!

It makes me giggle when a player gives the crowd some stick.

Matt King was getting dogs abuse of a large proportion of your fans and i would image some of it was a lot worse the sticking the V's up. Yet when it does happen, all of a sudden it becomes a horrendous and vile sin of biblical magnitude.

People need to get a grip and stop being so bloody precious.

I cant blame Lee Smith, Briers, King, Sam and the hundreds of sportsmen who have given moronic fans some attitude.

Judging by some of the ridiculous knicker wetting that is going on, and the sheer nasty bile that this minuscule "indecent" has brought up, i would go as far to say that some fans deserve getting told to Foxtrot Oscar.

Aye, the same way Sam was informing the Leeds fans that Lima would be scoring two tries later on. They're treated pretty well these Leeds fans really aren't they?

Was looking, to date found nothing on Briers, if i do i'll get back to you.

Don't worry I already know the answer.

Briers wouldn't do that surely?

Ditto

Unsurprisingly, the usual suspects on the Stains Board have forgotten about Kyle Eastmond allegedly gesturing to the stains fans at the Halton Stadium earlier in the season

Briers was just telling them we would win by one point...

In that case, Sam was saying it was two easy........ Yes i know, its a pun....

Quite a few Wire fans I have spoken to don't think he will get banned as it has happened in the past and not been punished with a ban. Not saying he shouldn't get a ban and neither are they but its harsh to ban Sam when none of the others where banned.

And Sam was telling the Leeds fans Pat was going to try for another two points!!!

Let's face it he was silly and with all the Tomkins haters out there wanting blood he could get a ban.

What happened in the past with Briers could mean little as the RFL aren't exactly known for their consistency.

Agree with that and it was incredibly stupid, we cant defend him for what he did. I do think there has been a massive over exaggeration with this though, but that's to be expected when its Tomkins. But is has happened many times in the past and all those went unpunished.
