| Anyhoo the silly sausage now has two formal warnings AND his mum has promised he won't be allowed to play out after tea.

Last nights flick of the "V" from Mr Ablett reminded me of a classic fans day - Warrington away 1996. Anyone else there that day? They had a centre named Richard Hanari who scored a try at the shed end which was packed with Bulls fans. He flicked the "V" while running a post try arc - we all went nuts.... At the half time restart, Bulls kicked off - putting Hanari right in front of the fans he gave the V to. As soon as he arrived the song "Hanari is a @@nker" went up. It was SO LOUD - he turned round with a look of shock on his face - which served to make us sing all the louder and longer. Bulls kicked off to him and he spilt the ball, from the resulting scrum Bulls scored and the song started again. You could fair see him shrinking inside his shirt! We were so loud and unrelenting - he made error after error and in the end he got substituted - Bulls came from behind to win 20-30. Happy days!! Sad statistic - there were 12 of us back then who went home and away - only 2 remain

That reminds me of another time the Bulls fans put off a Warrington player – think it was Lee Briers and it was probably at the Halliwell Jones and Wire were taking a goal not exactly bang in front but near enough. The sun was shining in his eyes, so he brought his hand up to shield himself, but he looked like he was waving at us. Pretty much in unison the vast majority of the fans waved back and shouting “Hiya” and the like, that Briers stuffed the goal up! Think he had a good sense of humour about it to be fair.

I remember a similar incident with Westwood at Warrington at the beginning of the 2007 season. He scores their try and celebrates in the faces of the away end. It didn't work out well for him either.

Yes it was hot and for sure - I have never seen a player affected by the crowd like that either. He deserved it and I lost a lot of respect for Ablett last night - the try says all thats required - the "V" is guaranteed to start trouble. Which it did!

Warrington seems to be etched into the mind, anyone remember Nigel Vagana giving out [more than] a few niggles and when a couple of Bulls defenders had had enough they [accidentally

It was Graham Bradley and Matt Calland who did that IIRC.
