Would happily place money on him never having the balls to go try Australia out for size as Burgess/Ellis have done and Morley before them, big fish syndrome as far as I can see. He has a bucket load of talent, that is plain for all to see, but I think he would be a far better player with just a touch of humility.

I remember that incident too. Personally I dont see how JT can be excused because Ganson didn't deal with things after the first incident, lets face it to be a great player you also have to be smart and I think that this obviously shows that JT is more than a touch thick and is without the required nous to go much further in the game. Can anyone out there who's old enough imagine that Knocker would have done anything as blatantly obvious expecting to get away with it, no, he would have bided his time and sorted things long after the original incident had gone from the refs memory.

yes from where i was sat in the Hull end i saw quite a few too, all on our players, Horne, Phelps and Sharp spring to mind which also went unpunished so fair dinkum. its a tough game.

The intent in the J.Tomkins elbow can be proved by the fact it was the tackle after the fight and he made a b-line for Yeaman, the video is on SLTV, doesn't show the fight just the next drive.Looks nasty but I'll bet on it only being a 1-2 match ban at most.

S.Tomkins is the worst of the two, Joel is dirty but Sam is a cheat. He's bringing football tactics into RL, feigning injury, diving, holding on to defenders in tackles and generally being an annoying little sh11t. Along with Briers and his imaginary card waving these tactics have no place in RL. Shame as he has all the talent in the world but someone will put him in his place soon, gettting far too big for his boots.

There is an irony in all this though as I remember a certain FC poster even had a Tomkins avatar when he emploed these tactics on us last year, shame you can't bookmark those..

Extended highlights on SL tv. Great stuff after Sam Tomkins storms to help out his brother, Radders holds his by the scruff of the neck and he paps himself big time! Cocky little sh*t.

Sharp need to start trusting his in D, he cost us 2 tries.

Does anyone know if manus in the clear? I heard he got put on report... Have the rfl decided not to investigate him?

THE COOKE REPORT: Agar is right, Wigan's brutality must stop

Paul Cooke's column in Hull Daily Mail.
By the way Paul Cooke hates Hull FC

I don't think anyone has ever suggested that, FC hate Paul, for good reason.

no charges whatsoever...

You know that if Cookie thought Hull were whining he would say. He speaks his mind

indeed, that of a small child

i might have to stand corrected here, but i'm pretty sure Knocker lost his rag and got sent off at The Boulevard V Oldham, think he tried to smash ten bells out of Alan McCurrie at two seperate tap penalties, i am getting old though,lol

yes he did

He also lost it away at Leeds early 80/81 season when one Leeds forward made a remark about some one close to him and Knocker flipped. It took a few of them to hold him down and he was dragged off the field at once and did not return as in those days they could not of course. The Leeds player concerned was "dealt " with at a later opportunity



Knocker was hard as nails and he did not mind a bit of biff

I've been told on one occasion that knocker was half way down the tunnel by the time the ref had showed the red card

Against Oldham, he hit McCurrie, who was another niggly irratating tw*t, a few times, then ran off the pitch before the ref marched him, lol

Knocker had to be dragged off at Featherstone,he lost it big time with one of their forwards.

Whats the rule on offside from a kick? As from their first try there are 2 players charging at Phelps. Hoffman is clearly onside but the other (I think it's O'Loughlin) on the right is about 3 years in front of the kicker. Do we have a case for poor refereeing for each of the tries of do I just not know the law?

Didnt he once chin Sammy Lloyd in a scrum when trying to get even with someone

Sounds right

Super League Facebook page says 2 games and £300 fine.

Think he's been lucky tbh.

who got that?

joel tomkins 2 matches and £300 fine

Hate to think whathe'd have got if 1st contact hadn't been "on the chest" (c) Pie eaters worldwide.
