That’s odd. They are on TV more than any other team given that all of their home games are broadcast in France an on Sky.

| ‘They started it’ is not an excuse for either sets of fans.
I’ve never been to Catalan so can’t comment on their home support however I have been to Wilderspool and the Halliwell many times. In fact one of my earliest RL memories was at Main Rd when Joe Lydon kicked that drop goal. At all games against Warrington I’ve had issues with their supporters that I’ve not had anywhere else. I’m not in the least surprised an incident like this involves them.
To stress this is only a minority, the majority including many posters on here are sensible well behaved supporters.
Unfortunately this has happened, RL now needs to deal with it. I hope they do so very harshly to send a message out to the minority of idiots at all clubs who fancy a bit of it.

| If Kenny Edwards tried to stir up the crowd then he should be punished by the RFL.
However even if that is true, it is no excuse for the violent aggression of certain Warrington fans against the Catalans VIP box.

| It was pathetic behaviour from both sets of players. Quite why they were so wound up when the game was dead and buried is strange.
But both sets of players are to blame.
There needs to be plenty of bans for individuals and perhaps some kind of club punishment for both.

Answers on a post card to Huddersfield, I wondered why they're imploding, it's a bit drastic I know, but if they go down they could pull out of the deal.

Didn’t Edwards get involved with some Saints fans last year?

He was also goading Leeds fans at Headingley last year on his way off at the end of a controversial game.

So you’re saying they had an issue 10 years ago but not now?

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.'"
Yup! Seen it at the GF and even more bizarrely some Wire muppets in the car park at Wembley even though they had won and they didn't even stay in the ground to watch the trophy presentation. Strange lot!

I wasn't there either, have also never been to Catalans away, and really couldn't care less about some scrapping that had nothing to do with me. I haven't seen the game because I've been at a music festival in Blackpool all weekend, but the main thing that concerns me is yet another dreadful result to add to the recent list (and I have been at all of our defeats this season other than the two in Perpignan). I'm also concerned about the apparent injury to Austin and any bans our players might get after Saturday. A bit of scrapping in the stands at a match I wasn't at? Erm, no, sorry, not my problem.

That's a strange attitude, if you're a fan of the *game* - which you must be, unless you think that Warrington should just play themselves every week?
It's an embarrassing and shameful day when RL is in the news because of supporters fighting in the stands; regardless of who started it, what the players did on the pitch, or how the referee handled it - there is absolutely no excuse for this kind of thuggery. Both clubs should be facing serious investigation and if necessary, censure, along with criminal charges for any supporters involved who can be identified.
I don't care what your club loyalties are - we all have some responsibility to condemn this kind of behaviour.

Great attitude "not my problem" ???
Let's just ignore what happened and move on to next week then
More Brits abroad that cant handle their drink or, maybe it's ok to get lashed up and start fighting, just because you're in another country.
Are you not embarrassed that these hooligans attach themselves to your club and drag RL through the dirt, again ? not your problem, eh.

Why do we always blame alcohol for this sort of fan behaviour? It's a cop out! Plenty of us go to matches having had a few beers and can behave ourselves. The fact is, those causing the trouble are likely to be thugs with or without alcohol in their bloodstream....
