Someone told me we're in for a 4 point deduction because the RFL want the Dragons in the playoffs.

This paranoia and pessimism is getting beyond a joke now. Why all the conspiracy theories?

There's no RFL vendetta against us, we get the sh!tty end of the stick with decisions and hearings, just like all 'smaller' clubs compared to 'bigger' clubs. The hearing will probably result in a fine and a warning. The club have installed CCTV and supposedly improved the stewarding. A points deduction just leaves the RFL in a mess because we will have the right to appeal which would drag on way past the next round of fixtures.

Drop the persecution complex and enjoy the fact that we're in the playoffs and have had, on the whole, a very successful season.

I don`t think you`ll get points deducted, an educated guess would be a fairly hefty fine, with half of it suspended for 12 months. The fact that you acted quickly to install CCTV will hopefully count in your favour, unfair to punish the Club and the majority of supporters because of a few muppets. We have our share at Wakefield, as do others clubs if they`d only admit it.

The same happened at Leeds when one of our fans (who was girl of around 5) had a blow up banana.

think it will just be a slap on the wrist and poss a fine, cant see points being deducted myself, you cant really blame the catalan fans though (they both behaved impecably)
