https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/ ... warrington Super League and the RFL are to launch an investigation into the ugly scenes that marred the end of Saturday’s clash between Catalans Dragons and Warrington in Perpignan. Tempers boiled over in the stands at full-time, with fans throwing punches and trying to climb over barriers to get to each other at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. Catalans duo Sam Tomkins and Michael McIlorum saw red after the match for their role in an on-field fracas. Warrington’s Jake Mamo also received a second yellow card in the incident. “We were appalled to see the pictures from Perpignan, and an investigation will be launched,” read a joint statement from Super League and the RFL. “The scenes are alien to Super League and have no place in our game. We will be taking firm action to make it clear this behaviour is totally unacceptable.” A Warrington statement explained that the club is “working in conjunction with Catalans Dragons and Super League to gather further information”, while Bernard Guasch, the Catalans chairman, said: “We are now waiting for the CCTV footage before making any decision.” Warrington’s statement added: “We sincerely believe that this behaviour does not reflect the vast majority of our loyal and supportive fan base following the team in France this weekend.” Man of the match Tomkins had created three tries and kicked seven goals before being sent off as Catalans claimed a 30-10 victory that ended Warrington’s hopes of claiming the League Leaders’ Shield, which has now been won by St Helens. “We’ve always had good challenges against Catalans every time we play them,” said Warrington coach Steve Price. “It was really disappointing how the game finished –you don’t like to see that, do you?” When asked whether he thought events on the pitch had influenced those off it, Price responded: “What do you reckon? I think you’re answering the question yourself there.” Price also criticised the officiating of referee James Child – a sentiment echoed by his opposite number, Steve McNamara. “I’m clearly not happy with the whole of the game in terms of how it was managed,” said McNamara. “After the game I will take that up with the relevant people. I think it is best to stay nice and calm and speak to the relevant people and deal with the issues that will be brought up from that game. “I have no idea how [the scenes at the end of the game] have come about, but it’s disgraceful scenes that we don’t want to see in our sport and I’m sure, again, the relevant people will look into that and find out. I just sincerely hope that no one is hurt from that because it didn’t look good.” McNamara did, however, hit back at a suggestion from Price that his side had deliberately slowed the game down. “I’m sick and tired of every time a team comes here and complains about the tactics and how tough it is and how difficult it is,” he said. “The best team won today and the best team won by a long way in the end and that result was correct. Nothing to do with anything other than the better team won on the day, simple as that.”

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9648938/ ... ans-brawl/ WIRE IN THE BLOOD Warrington Wolves and Catalans Dragons fans involved in shock brawl with yobs climbing into sponsors’ area to get at each other A SHOCKING fight broke out on and off the pitch during Warrington Wolves' Super League loss at Catalans Dragon on Saturday. Fans were pictured climbing into hospitality areas in an attempt to throw punches at each-other It is unknown exactly what prompted the spectators to come to blows but it came amid a furious melee amongst the players. A number of incidents in quick succession came with Catalans leading 30-10 in the dying stages. Warrington were penalised for dissent after a knock-on call and the French team committed two high tackle fouls in as many minutes. The second earned Michael McIlorum a red card and set in motion a huge scrap on the pitch. Fellow Dragons star Sam Tomkins was also dismissed, as was Wolves man Jake Mamo for a second yellow card, as players squared up to eachother and jumped into the sea of flailing limbs. As referee James Child took a backseat and eventually began disciplining the group, a fight in the stands of the Perpignan club broke out. Glimpses of the ugly scenes were caught by TV cameras as supporters targeted a sponsors area, lashing out while leaping over barriers with a table spotted being hurled in the background. Both clubs quickly came out to condemn the violence, Catalans chairman Bernard Guasch expressing his surprise at the incident inside his team's Stade Gilbert Brutus. He said: "We are shocked at what happened at the end of the today’s game. [Our stadium] has always been a festive place and we are saddened with the scenes we saw tonight. "We have never witnessed such incidents in 13 years in the Super League. We are now waiting for the CCTV footage before making any decision.” Likewise Warrington, who can now only finish second after their defeat confirmed St Helens' position as League Leaders' Shield winners, expressed their shock. A club statement read: "Warrington Wolves are deeply disappointed with the incidents at the conclusion of tonight’s fixture at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. "The club is working in conjunction with Catalans Dragons and Super League to gather further information, and determine the appropriate action required. "The club does not condone this behaviour & strongly believes that scenes like this have no place in our sport. "We sincerely believe that this behaviour does not reflect the vast majority of our loyal & supportive fanbase following the team in France this weekend." A joint statement from the Rugby Football League and Super League echoed the condemnation. It read: "The scenes are alien to Super League and have no place in our game.

Catalans boss Steve McNamara dismissed criticism of his side's tactics, accused by opposite number Steve Price of frustrating the game, but was also left lamenting how referee Child took charge. He said: "I'm clearly not happy with the whole of the game in terms of how it was managed. After the game I will take that up with the relevant people."

Could be..but we could appeal it like a certain cheating club did for breaking salary cap rules...

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan. : Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:04 am  

We have some terrible fans, mostly young kids beered up who think they’re hard, both teams should be fined, Catalans seem to have contributed also but not one single post from
any fan on their board.

As it pertains to the team, we are not as good as we think we are. We struggle in opposing twenties due to lack of creativity and having to rely on individual brilliance.

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan. : Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:09 am  

We could really do with stripping Hill of the captaincy ASAP. His demeanour and behaviour as our supposed leader is atrocious.

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan. : Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:24 am  

So to surmise, it's the ref's fault, Catalans fault and what about Wigan? Stay classy wire

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan. : Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:27 am  

Any Warrington fan proved to be clambering up into that sponsors area needs to be banned for life. They were not "protecting their families" they were looking for trouble. As can be seen on the videos most sensible Wire fans were walking away or staying out of it.

Hear hear. I have been calling for that for 2 years. He is not captain material.

Re: Tonight’s game v Catalan. : Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:32 am  

Apologies if I'm reading this wrong the day after the game it's 30 odd degrees and I've got a dodgy Internet connection.... But speaking as someone on the second row of the little uncovered stand I saw poop house tactics on a level I've never seen before and I saw Wigan under mcguire...

Knees to the heads fists to the head... by loving Tony Gigot aswell... I bet he never even knew how to throw a punch 12 months ago... Little kicks to the heads.. Late shots on ball passers... And obviously punches... And a kelvin skerret style superman brawl entry.... Which was deemed "okay" by the ref.... The high tackles I don't really care about they happen every game....

It was just an all out disgraceful performance by catalan dragons.
We know James child is inept we know Sam Tomkins is a snake and spiteful human as is mcClorum. So it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone how that game turned out..

What is a surprise is the poop Chris Hill is getting

And off the unsiprsing returned Saints fan aswell....

He must have spoke to the ref half the times Tomkins did... And when he swore... From the clip I saw he wanted to go and check on his wife and kids..... When the Salford players waded in with fists flying a few years ago In similar circumstances it was allowed and widely applauded but oh Chris Hill speaking and a swearing.. What a disgrace....

You jokers...

Anyway I need to get in the shade before I freak out.....
