It's a pity that the ill feeling on and off the field that led to a Warrington fan riot is spilling over into rlfans forum.

The important thing now is for Warrington management to act responsibly, identify the hooligans, and then ban them for life.

Our excellent, impartial, diligent and hardworking moderators have had a bit of a conflab and decided that we’d like to have a go at cleaning up, and focusing discussion on the Virtual Terrace.

What we don’t want to see (in no particular order) is; points scoring, sniping, trolling, one up-man-ship, bullying, or otherwise belligerent posting.


Think you covered all them Bazza.

Wire fans launched what I assume was ale at various points from the top tier down onto Saints fans and at what point did Saints fans wind Warrington fans up? Didn’t happen not sure why we’d bother seeing as though you won. And has it been proven that anything was thrown and hit a kid. There has been nothing to prove that at all.

Since you’re not on the panel at the RFL who’s going to investigate this i don’t need to provide evidence, I’m going to take the word of my mate who I text afterwards who was there, as well as Wire fans on Twitter who were also there.

Seems 12 months is a long time for a Warrington fan.

12 months ago the Warrington fans were also at Bolton, wearing catalan colours and waving catalan flags and trying to wind up saints fans.

I assume you will be donning the red and gold again next time catalan play saints.

So far no video evidence of the incitement suggested. But plenty of deflection. Maybe it was the Catalan fans who started the trouble when Warrington played cas. Or maybe it was James child.

Have people on this forum given a moment's thought to the fact that the violent attacks by some Warrington supporters on a hospitality box for Catalans supporters and sponsors, is doing great harm to the reputation of the game of rugby league, not only in France, but also in the UK? This shocking video will spread, certainly on social media if not in established news outlets, and thereby become great propaganda ammunition for rugby union officialdom to denigrate rugby league.

That is why Warrington management must act swiftly to identify the culprits, ban them for life from future rugby league matches, and if possible, publicly identify them to shame them.

Don’t the Catalans management also have to act swiftly to identify the culprits at their end?

Let me guess - Warrington supporters were not being obnoxious and swearing all night before it kicked off? I have seen it with them too many times to have any sympathy whatsoever.

Exactly, seen it too many times for it to be a one off, drunken wire fans can't take defeat with dignity. Most super league clubs have experienced similar with the Wiire fans troublemakers, we also had the Wire Steward Thugs a couple of seasons back with the punching frenzy on an away supporter.

Only if it can be determined that some Catalans fans were guilty of aggressive violent behaviour, as opposed to self defense against Warrington thugs who had attacked them.
