I'd already heard about this.

Mind you, first look at the thread title, and I thought "Do we REALLY need to be told about Yarkshire women."

I thought maybe Wigan Ladies Supporters Club had been for a day out there.

I thought that man in the video who was only asking for another two beers was harshly dealt with by the stewards.

players jumping into the crowd to protect women and children from their own fans.

is this real life?

Yeah, it's nuts. I have a feeling that bloke on the ground immediately regretted his prior actions as the hand tightened round his throat.

And naturally this is the current lead story on the Daily Mail website.

Thought this was going to be a thread about Eorl Crabtree.

Danny Brough and Earl Crabtree coming on as subs.

Typical.

Anything bad happens in our game and the hacks are all over it.

Anything good and you will struggle to find it.

To my mind there is definately an anti rugby league agenda out there.

Really agree, can't stand the mail with its anti rugby league bias.

To be fair, it's probably not RL specifically that the Mail hate, but it's no doubt a close analogy for them to what they really despise. We're a working class sport, patronised by the lower echelons of society-or spun to their agenda, Neanderthal northern dole-ites, scrapping with their own kind who made a bit better than them by virtue of being built like the proverbial out-house. It's entirely consistent with their view of the world, and this incident will be taken as confirmation of what they and their readers already know.

Next thing you know there will be an embargo on the rah rah brigade poaching our better players to turn into scapegoats for losing the next world cup.

It seems to be becoming a regular thing - fighting in the stands for all clubs not just Salford. I think the RFL need to send out a message especially now this in the media putting the sport into a bad light. Maybe it is time to start making clubs who have crowd trouble to play behind closed doors for a game to punish them. It may be only a small minority of fans but they will ruin it for the majority and a quick way to stamp this out would be to send a message to all clubs.

First thing that will happen probably a drinks ban on the terraces, thanks a lot scumbags.
