I have to say, the silence from Warrington on this issue has been deafening.

Sadly it often tends to be- my main and probably only problem with the club.

looks like a clear cut case of 'head to fist' IMO.

Nothing to see here.............

Wow, he certainly wasn't holding back !

If there is a police investigation into the alleged assault then the silence by Warrington is entirely appropriate.

Remember there are two sides to most 'stories' like this, the papers yet again dramatise it and portray an attack on an 'innocent' victim. That may be the case he may of left the steward with no option, that's for a court of law to decide.

Have Warrington commented on the case yet?

There was a incident after the Warrington v Hull FC play off game last season. One steward prevented Aaron Heremaia from handing his boots to a Hull fan. A bit of pushing and shoving led to punches being thrown mainly from one idiot steward.

According to a club statement a few days later, Warrington identified the steward in question and were due to meet the security company to ensure that particular individual wasn't used at the HJ again.

I wonder if it was the same steward? To be honest they all looked like EDL type thugs.

I agree that if the police are looking at this then it's right that Warrington don't comment. But what possible situation could leave the steward with no option but to throw numerous punches at a defenceless person while another steward holds his hands behind his back?

The paper wrote a one sided story based on an interview with the alleged victim and a mobile phone video taken by a 'friend'. If you read the comments underneath someone who claims to be a witness says there was a lot more to it. I don't really want to speculate as to what might of happened. All I was saying is don't take a one sided newspaper article as gospel.

The police will look at the evidence, the CPS will press charges if appropriate then magistrates or a jury will decide whether a crime has been committed.

It happens every game

Lucky someone caught it on camera as no doubt the CCTV would have been convieniently looking elsewhere

Just a thought but the video was taken by a widnes fan did it show him push a female police officer down the stairs from behind oops no it missed that bit.....if the steward has done this to the wrong person or caused those injuries then yeah he should be punished

The police will collect and collate the evidence and the CPS will examine it first before deciding whether charges are appropriate

It doesn't matter whether it was the right person or not. Having a high-viz jacket or a little card strapped to your arm does give you carte-blanche to go around assaulting members of the public that you happen to take a dislike to.

Granted, we don't have all the evidence but thus far, there is nothing in that video to suggest that the steward (who is acting as a representative of WWRLFC), is acting in a way that was necessary to defend himself from harm.

A simple "we are aware of reports of an incident and assiting the police with their enquiries" would suffice from the club.

Strange that its only just gone national? I would like to know when the pics of the victim were taken. Said when it happened that the steward appeared to be hitting his arm to remove it from the crush bar. Seems Cheshire police are not rushing into anything.
