Tomkins won't comment on Garcia's moment of madness

JOEL Tomkins said he didn’t want to comment on Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella’s involvement in Ben Garcia's red card because “it will probably get me in trouble.”

Garcia was sent-off after just 27 minutes after punching the England loose forward in the 68-6 trouncing.

Garcia was riled by an off-the-ball contact from Minchella but no one expected the France star to start throwing punches in retaliation as a huge melee ensued.

He was dismissed and his side, who were already down to 12 men after Franck Maria's yellow card, never recovered. The French club were already trailing 18-0 at that point and on the way to one of the most embarrassing nights in their history.

Tomkins, interim head coach since Steve McNamara was sacked last month, conceded: “Quite obviously we're just not a good team at the minute. We're miles and miles away from where we expect to be as a club, where we need to be to make any kind of run at the play-offs.
