Honest question, could a club be banned from a competition for a year for this sort of behaviour?

How many times is this now with Widnes fans? Perhaps banning Widnes from taking part in the Challenge Cup next year might be the severe kick up the that those fans need. Yes they don't represent ALL, but every since they've come back to SL they've brought trouble.

I would be surprised if they don't get banned tbh. What a shame, spoiling a great day for Cas fans.

I could have swore Cas won!

Plenty wearing shirts, including one idiot intimidating a steward while the BBC post match pitch interviews were taking place. Many of them ain't wearing any shirt, obviously enjoying the er, Leigh heat wave?

Calls to ban them from the comp are well over the top. What the RFL need to consider is security. Stewards are not equipped to handle crowd disturbances. For high profile games they need to spend more money and have a significant Police presence. Should Widnes get fined? Maybe the practical solution is make their club pay for policing for any future high profile games. If Warrington finish 5th and Widnes 8th the play off game would be the first time to exercise this.

Daily Fail and accuracy aren't exactly things you hear together though, forthem to get something as simple as a result right is expecting too much of them!

They also tried making it sound like a mass brawl involving both sets of fans in large numbers.

RFL Statement-

What was Hull's punishment after the 2000? incident?

Would seem a similar incident so require a similar punishment I'd have thought.

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."

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?
