I understand that Karl Fitzpatrick also played a part in setting that meeting up. So, well done WRLFC.

Warrington have banned the nutjob but suspended his ban, must have taken advice from the RFL Disciplinary Panel.
How the hell is that a suitable punishment. It is a hate crime, he should be in court.

Hopefully the police take a more sterner approach

And at the time there were still people defending him saying he deserves it for been a crap ref etc, worrying times in the world

The Warrington fan got off lightly .A threat to kill would have resulted in Hicks receiving a Osman warning .
I find it incomprehensible that the Warrington Club are letting this person frequent their Stadium .

The Police don’t take much seriously these days .A visit from them and a suspended ban is nuts .

However this Warrington Bloke must be a right tool . Issue a death threat on Twitter with your name and a photograph on your account . He was never going to shoot anyone . Oh I know ...I will take out a match official live on television .

How was the Bloke going to sneak a M99 through the turnstiles rig up and take the official out .
They should parade him at the next home Warrington match so everyone can laugh at him .

More bad publicity for the Warrington club .

No matter how bad the referee is, death threats are only fit from the scum of the earth.
Rob Hicks has shown immense courage for doing this. He deserves the respect of the whole rugby league community.
(Until his next game when fans from both sides will be calling the s%*t out of him )

I Think what he means is although a death threat is horrendous in itself, but if I was to guess I reckon 99.999999% of death threats are a knee jerk statement and are (fortunately) not carried out and are said to cause maximum distress of which I have no doubt they do exactly that, and again fortunately this threat was in the 99.9999999 % bracket and was in all honesty going to be as if he was a professional assassin he would not have made the threat as it would of hindered his chances of carrying it out, this is the internet’s problem these days ,people’s reactions are public in an instant, if he had time for reflection I dare say in 1980 hull fans thought terrible things about Fred Lindop but by the time they sat down and we’re going to pen a letter the feelings had subsided, that and a 1st class stamp would be a waste of 12p.

We look disgusting at the moment and i'm Genuinely embarrassed to be a Warrington fan right now.
This Dip should be banned out right in my eyes, it wasn't something he just said whilst riled up in the heat of the moment. He took his time to go on Twitter and type out a death threat.....on his own twitter account.....with his picture on......Jesus wept.
For me fair enough he's met Hicks and will have apologised etc which takes balls on both sides to meet up like this, but get rid of him please.
I'm sick of these "Fans" at the moment they're literally an absolute disgrace, it shows what pathetic people they are in general and i've had enough.

Well constructed post that mate . And stamps 12 p .....
Guess we had time to reflect our thoughts in those days eh ....

Hmmmmm

Hull KR have been praised by Super League referee Robert Hicks for their “above and beyond” support after he was the subject of an online death threat.

A Warrington fan made the threat on Twitter following the Wolves’ Challenge Cup quarter-final victory at KCOM Craven Park in May.


Warrington immediately launched an investigation and the police contacted the supporter, while Hull Live has learned that KR arranged for Hicks to be escorted from the stadium and safely onto the motorway.

The club’s proactive approach has not been forgotten by the official as he tweeted: “Hopefully some good comes out of it. Its time for a line in the sand. Personally the support for me & my family was excellent from so many friends. Have to also commend the way people at @TheRFL @WarringtonRLFC & @hullkrofficial handled this was above & beyond.”

Its idiots like this and the limp wristed response thereafter that make me happy i am nearer death than birth..... This world is on a collision course with its demise.....
This f-head should of been banned for life... Instead the wire CEO reckons that claimimg their not the only club with issues is a defence....

As a Warrington fan I completely agree. Our name has been dragged through the mud lately and I expect a zero tolerance attitude from the club.

Fair play to Hicks for meeting up with the little parasite, but I can't help but think this has resulted in the meaningless punishment.

Tbh, most people need an escort back to the M62 in order to leave Hull safely...
