Can't help thinking it's another nail in the coffin of our licence.

Surely that's more the intention than the consequence Stu. We, and the RL world in general are being primed for our exclusion from SL....bit like the Tories bigging up the national deficit to soften everybody up for draconian budgeting.

Gotta love the knee jerk flavour of the month decision by the RFL. A complete over reaction on every level.

The fact is, whilst the chanting is pretty unacceptable, I've yet to attend a live sporting event with impeccable behaviour by every supporter or those chanting en mass. Quite how the club is expected to negate any chanting after it has taken place is baffling.

No doubt the ridiculous amounts of Sport England money thrown at the RFL to encourage some futile equality and diversity policy will have a major bearing on this God like decision.
