Does anyone know where you can find any footage of the trouble between widnes.

This don't show the trouble it just shows how much of a scum that steward was "Hard man" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu3fFK_uIrI

that steward was bang out of order and ought to be charged, I saw that the police too were recording it.

This wouldn't have happened if Widnes fans could behave themselves, two wrongs don't make a right

Didn't a wire fan throw a smoke can at Huddersfield?

I was in that end and was comfortable with the fans and found it entertaining. I was alarmed at the approach into the stand by the stewards and how they deal with it.
Its interesting that the police didn't take that action. I don't believe that the stewards consulted with the police before they made such a cavalier approach.

If I remember rightly Aaron Heremaia went to give his boots to some kid and the stewards stopped him, why? (I could be wrong my memory isn't that great)

The actions by that steward was absolutely shocking, that was NOT necessary force it was GBH. I'm quite worried about how that occurred with no police intervention, I certainly would not want my family to be subjected to having to witness that close hand.

I'm disgusted with the steward all them punches and he still couldn't knock the little plum out. more combat training needed

That would have been some throw.

Saying that though, Huddersfield is quite a big place.

That was a Wigan person. Three Wigan followers were banned for it. These guys weren't fans and the Wigan club did the right thing for their true fans.

(Posting off phone so no ability to quote)

Why would pie fans stand with wire fans at hudds and set off s smoke can? Don't buy that myself!

I've been watching RL for 40 years and never been hit by a steward. But there again, I behave myself.

In fairness to the warrington stewards i have always found them polite and helpful The SECURITY contract firm (the ones in orange vests) however are a different story

No, it was Chris Bridge.

What happened before the footage to prompt such a response? Not that I am in any way condoning the actions of the steward, but action creates reaction.

From where I was stood, granted I was a good 80 yards away, it looked like the trouble was already going before this.

Again, I'm not excusing the behaviour, as a professional he should know better. I'm sure the club/agency will take action.

I couldnt care less how they get the scrotes out to be honest.. If nothing had have been done then all you hears is ."all the stewards do is poilce the yellow lines". As soon as someone gets themselves in a little trouble getting throw out then its "all the stewards are thugs". What people will be saying is they could do it with less force. ? but at the end of the day they are only human , but you have to be there in the moment before you can judge how you would react.

Wigan game - the smoke bomb at a Giants match was against Wigan not Wire.

Wire v hull at hudds
Wire fan let off a smoke can!

Rubber duckie is correct. In the semi final a smoke bomb was set off near the stairs.

I was on holiday and missed it. Sorry - wires crossed....

Personally i love the irony that a video obviously posted by a Widnes fan to "try and get the steward done" actually appears to show that the steward did not act incorrectly. It appears that every one of those "blows" were aimed at the arm of the spectator to force them to let go of either the barrier or his colleague.

As regards the opinion of the Warrington stewards, as said before there is nothing wrong with what they do and its usually the security firms which is "responsible" for the heavyhandedness. Then again, thats why they are there....to go in and deal with situations when force is required.

As for acting without police permission.......it is perfectly normal for police at sporting events to take their lead from the club stewards.

I was stood 3 steps down about 5m away.
I assure you, it wasn't his arm he was punching!

He quite obviously deserved it then !

I'm sure you were. Were you the one stood next to Gareth Hock?
