I refer you to these photographs. You will see the same person who kicked the mascot's head revealing his Widnes shirt to the Castleford supporters. To borrow your remark, "Surprise, surprise." |

Would seem a similar incident so require a similar punishment I'd have thought.'"
Surely it should exceed the £20k Cas got for throwing bottles against Catalan? |

I've removed the video although it was a fans video taken on a smart phone not a 20th Century Fox blockbuster movie or a BBC Drama series.

If I remember correctly, the fine was for Cas not taking sufficient action after the incident and not the incident itself. |

Was this the one where Cas fans threw bottles and the refs had to lock themselves in their changing room? |

Widnes have just announced that they have suspended their recruitment for next season until a full investigation has taken place.

I always feel sorry for the majority of fans and the club in these siltation. Its a rock and a hard place. You have to punish business owners paying wages who themselves did nothing wrong and potentially deprive the real fans of their sport with debilitating fines or bans. It always feels like tarring with the same brush and I know how I felt as a Hull fan who was in no way involved with our incident and yet had to take the barrage of abuse we got afterwards, its does not feel fair, mainly because it isn't like any indiscriminate action.
Clearly there needs to be a message put out, like there was against Hull and Castleford previously that we are a family game and this is not acceptable and that will need to be brought against the Widnss club, but all the same I hope that there is sufficient evidence here via CCTV, TV, press and the mobile pics and videos to bring prosecutions against the actual culprits (morons) here.
Personally I would support a hefty fine, supported by strong commitments from the Widnes club including life time ban as the appropriate action from our sport, and appropriate police action aside. I wouldn't, for what its worth, support a ban from competition or league points being docked.

The RFL just needs to set a precedent so that other idiots don't think supporting Widnes is an excuse to be a yob. When Castleford were under investigation for the bottle throwing, we issued out about 5 or 6 lifetime bans, took the fine on the chin, and our support has been noticeably calmer/less dickish ever since.
