Don’t talk rubbish. Why deduct points? The on field contingent shouldn’t be punished for what happened in the stands.

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan. : Sat Aug 03, 2019 11:16 pm  


Yes. That may have been how it started, but what followed was clearly just indiscriminate violence for the sake of it. I've got friends who were there and they didn't get involved in the fighting, choosing to walk down the stand rather than run up it to get involved. They've described how the sponsors lounge was a mix of French and English people, including families of players of both sides and former players and your own sponsors. Once people climbed up into the box they were just attacking anyone, you can see this on the videos on Twitter. You can also see plenty of fighting just breaking out in the terracing amongst Warrington fans. A combination of the heat, alcohol, provocation and losing the game is a bad combination.

Rugby League has a growing problem with violence IMO. It tends to show it's head most at Old Trafford, which is regularly riddled with violence and disorder due to people drinking and not being able to cope, particularly in the losing teams end. Warrington, as with a few other teams, do have a problem in this regard.

It needs to be stamped out. Warrington, Catalans, the French police and the RFL/SL need to get together and ban everyone they can prove was involved in the violence. Both sides also need to be punished for the game in general, it really was a farce. Special attention needs to be given to Kenny Edwards who has previous after being accused but ultimately let off with deliberately throwing a ball at a child in last year's cup semi final. Both clubs should face sanctions, possibly points deductions and fines. If they let this slide with the usual RFL tactic of a nasty letter and a ÂŁ1,000 fine it's wrong.

What did Warrington do on the field that you think brought the game into disrepute then? Serious question.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

So you were not there and did not see anything but have read a tweet.
Thats cast iron evidence.

You've been spinning about 3 or 4 different stories about who is to blame and of course none bring wire fans into any bad light.

The whole game? Chris Hill for one is the main culprit, he's meant to be your captain. Watch the game back and watch how he interacts with the referee throughout the game. He's always the same, completely ignores the referee and everything he says then makes a childish comment. His behaviour at the end was ridiculous. He spent five minutes refusing to let the referee finish the game and the repeated swearing at the referee was ridiculous. The mass brawl at the end alone was enough for a 'failure to control their players' type fine. They won't do anything, but both sides should be punished.

Take those redvee glasses off and you’ll see that LMS is the mouthiest culprit in the league, or one of them. Equal to Hill if not worse. Anyway, with regards to today’s game, Hill had every right to disrespect Child given his total lack of control over how Catalans chose to dictate the game, if the referee tried to protect players from flying knees, headshots and other niggle then maybe Hill and others would listen to him and show more respect.

I'll agree with you on Chris Hill as he was a bloody idiot and I've had enough of him, great player but would happily see him leave. Other than that I thought we did little wrong. Even our supposed high shots looked very dubious.
