| I was there and for some time after the game and didn't notice anything at all. I'm not saying there wasn't anything, but if there was, it sounds isolated. But like some have said, there's always a couple of meatheads who are spoiling for something. The Saints fans are some of the best in the league and why anyone would want to have a go is beyond me.

| I walked from where I stand in the Northstand right the way round and out of the exit where the majority of Saints fans were stood and saw nothing? Didn't see a rush of security staff, any great number of them together or anything......easy for someone to write 'mass brawl' somewhere on the internet and it to be taken as gospel....
Decent fans the Saints lot and so are the majority of Wakey fans, and just about all teams to be honest....all teams will have a fair few numpty's.....sure if any have proved to have caused trouble they will be banned like the last lot....it's all the club an do....

How do you know it was the Wakefield fans?
I've seen just one eye witness comment from a Sts fan who was there and he says it was the Sts fans goading the Trinity fans and they got a reaction but nothing to worry about.
I was at the game and didn't see any fighting at all so how much of a "Mass Brawl" can it have been.
At the end of the game two of us Wakefield fans walked through the West stand terracing where all the Sts fans were to get to the exit near where we were parked and there wasn't a single bad word or contentious action being made by Wakefield or Sts fans.
So I ask again how bad can it have been?

But which was instigated by severe taunting / gesturing by the Wakefield PLAYERS of all people?!!

Is chanting "easy easy easy" really classified as goading now? It happens at virtually every game without incident. Why would Wakefield be the only exception to that? The Wakefield fans were giving it throughout the match and didn't like it back after saints took the lead. I'm all for banter amongst teams, and hardly "goading" (at least no more so than the Wakefield fans were giving it earlier) - but there was no need to get physical.
You can ask how bad was it really all you like, ANY incidents shouldn't be tolerated, at all. It was fine last year, don't know what's changed.
It occurred at the sheltered bit of the west(?) side - the bit towards the flats.
There was also a bit of trouble at the Salford game reading their board.

There is it's just relaxed a little this season for certain matches.

If that's the case the segregation policy shouldn't be relaxed and the western terrace made away only for teams who bring a few.

We Wigan fans got a bog brush thrown at us at Headingley on the western terrace a few years back.

I've no idea what happened today, I'm a Wigan fan. But from personal experience, I've witnessed Wakey fans (a minority) that 'give it' to the away fans for literally 80 minutes. Asking for trouble.

| I didn't see anything either. No chanting in the north stand at all. I found atmosphere quiet actually between tries.
There was a lady taken out of north stand after abusing a steward but not sure what her problem was. No fighting, just a stream of obscenities.
