There should be Zero Tolerance on this.

Throw the book at them and a Fine is no concern for Steve O`Connor. He has been badly let down by the fans and HE should not have to pay the bill.

The club should suffer and exclusion from next years Comp or Points deduction (even though we are talking SL rather than RFL) should be considered in my opinion.

The other thing to concern us would be how would Marwan react under similar circumstances. The disturbances at our match v Leeds were bad enough so we should watch our own situation with care as MK I feel would just walk away if we saw similar incidents.

Unless the RFL demonstrate their usual lack of clarity,parity and favouritism for Super League clubs above the rest of the sport,then I think a reasonable precedent was set rlby this decisionrl

I think you will find coverage of it in the usual place - not as many involved,but far more than enough.

Your link also has another precedent: the fine handed out to Cas.

I think a lot will depend on the reaction of Widnes to these "fans". Many are identifiable from the photographs in the public domain and a couple have further mired themselves by moronic boasting on media sites. If Widnes follw the example of Hull, then I cannot see a ban being even contemplated by the RL.

Furthermore, I'd rather get into the top 8 by our efforts not by the actions of a few prats.

Have updated estimates (figs in brackets - points difference) HKR favourites then us, then Widnes.

Hull FC Currently 18 (+44) points


Hull KR w
Huddersfield l

18 + 2 = 20


Catalan Currently 23 points (-16)


London w
Hull KR w
Cas l

23 + 4 = 27

Wakey currently 19 pts (-201)


Salford home lose
Cas away lose
HKR home lose

19 + 0 = 19

Widnes currently 23 (-11icon_cool.gif

wigan h l

23 + 2 =25

Salford currently 19 (-113)

broncos w
widnes w

19 + 6 = 25

Hull kr currently 21 (-16)


hull fc l
catalan l

21 + 2 = 23

Going off current form alone, I can't see Widnes beating Bradford.

There are a lot of 'what if' moments this season which could already have seen us securing a top 8 spot. Nevertheless, it bodes well for next season that we'll be in mix again.
