I agree the RFL should censure Tomkins for gesturing at the crowd and that the respect the referees get is just not good enough, Tomkins should not be grabbing the referee for example
The attitude of Wigan fans to this is typical of a "my club is more important than the game" a spreading disease (it was an attitude invented in Wigan after all), it is why attendances from neutrals at cup finals and anyone at internationals have fallen because there is no community to the game, there is more joy in others failure than in their own success
i will be at all of england's internationals this year, i didnt attend the non international farce where players wore england shirts earlier this year - i hope tomkins turns out to be the messiah that wigan fans believe him to be rather than a player playing in a position for his club to hide his defensive frailties and because he couldnt oust a NRL reject from his preferred position who looks good in a winning team and barely registers at the highest level
So leeds fans crying over an incident that is hardly worth commenting on because they lost the cup final and threatening to boycott the International Game that badly needs support is not a perfect example of the attitude highlighted in bold.
Wonder next time McGuire or Sinfield blow up at the touch judges, which they both regularly do there will be a call to boycott the International matches?........actually thinking about it probably not as neither should get near an International shirt.
