The fans weren't banging on the ref's room or trying to break it down.
They were congragated at the back of the main stand OUTSIDE.
It was aggresive understandably, we had some real dubious decisions against us. Even mother thressa would have gone of on one with the officiation of that game. Anyhow we've been punished,that should be that.

Hang on. Are you saying if I run on the pitch and punch Ganson I can become the referees controller?

I think the fine is a little steep but reflects the multiple offences of throwing bottles onto the pitch and in the general direction of the Catalans players as well as verbally abusing the ref and congregating around his changing rooms in what was evidently an intimidatory manner, irrespective of the fact no-one actually assaulted him.
Had we simply been guilty of throwing bottles we may well have got away with a suspended fine and a warning.
Hopefully this will give the culprits cause to think about and regret their actions... but I wouldn't hold my breath!!
I think we have done ok at the hearing. That said, I do think it should have been points. Put it this way, none of us is out of pocket but it would hurt supporters if we lost points. My view is based on what I would think for any club, not just for us.
Hopefully we will learn from it. I hope its not a sign of the future.
What hurt me most was the news headline for rugby league referring to the poor behaviour of Castleford supporters. I live in Warrington and Im a teacher and all my kids know I support Cas. For the first time ever I felt a little ashamed to be a Cas fan - a feeling Ive never had before and hope with all ive got I never feel again.
