Utter disgrace. Good result for us though. Wire fans showing their true colours

Warrington fans fighting in stands disgusting bad day for RL
Tomkins and Micky Mac both sent off and how a few of Warrington's team stayed on I don't know?
And round it off Austin picks up a bad ankle injury should be a doubt for Wembley
Never thought we would see things like that in Rugby League. Combination of frustration, too much sun and beer with the spectators plus two very physical aggressive teams. Ironic that two known Wigan miscreants were red carded. Chris Hill’s actions were also very dubious.
At least it confirmed the LLS for us.
Mr Hill should be visiting Red Hall next week when he got sin binned in first half did you see his stiff arm and elbow in the Catalans face on the ground?
There has been a marked change in how Warrington play since Price took charge and it isn't pretty.
Was this on sky? i couldnt find it on any of the channels!
There's a core of Dire fans who are always wanting to play the hard man and cause trouble.
Been the case for years. Remember being about 15 and a group of adult Warrington arseholes trying to batter us on Alder Hey Road after a few of us were rubbing it in after we'd won again.
I understand what you're saying, but Hill was among one of the many malcontents who started and then continued the violence on the pitch. He threw a punch on the ground at one stage on a prone Catalans player, he also argued with any decision made and was involved in every coming together on the pitch. Both teams were as bad as each other and I suggest that the disciplinary committee take a long hard look at the tapes from that game. To be fair to Childs, he couldn't control players who just ignored him. At one point Hill marched a touch judge backwards. There was zero respect for officials and this transmitted itself to the drunken mob, who subconsciously recognised the green light to go apesh*t on the terraces. This is what happens when our sport is not officiated correctly. There must be bans, fines and possibly points deductions for this, it's the only way the people and organizations concerned will address the situation. Bad day for our great game. Sickening.

Not the right answer for me. Why punish other clubs and fans who enjoy a pint or two whilst watching the game?
Those scenes today were an absolute disgrace. The answer is simple. Firstly, the RFL must deal with the on field issues. I can see a couple of 2-3 match bans for players from both sides.
Secondly, both clubs should be heavily fined for the off field incidents. I would have to see it again but I didn't see many stewards there. Use the camera's available to pick out the main instigators and culprits. Hand each and every one of them a total ban from entering a Rugby League Stadium ever again.
Doubt this would make a difference. Pubs close to the ground do a roaring trade for hours before the game. The ‘fans’ would have had every opportunity to get tanked up in advance. And the palaver involved in buying refreshments inside Gilbert Brutus makes it not worth the hassle IMO
I agree mate he’s no Saint but when the players realised the trouble in the stands I can understand his actions and frustration with the ref. Kenny Edwards and Greg Bird were a disgrace. Beckoning the Wire fans for a fight and making the situation even worse. Catalans have become a real scumbag of a club.
