Castleford Tigers have been fined £40,000 for unacceptable behaviour v Crusaders RL after homophobic chanting aimed at Gareth Thomas

The RFL love Cas. Like Cas can control what the crowd chants. This is a knee jerk reaction to GT's comments on the BBC. I wonder if they will take the same action if other clubs chant at him?

However, yet again morons cost the club!

That's a disgrace. Total garbage.

My god! The biggest over reaction in the history of the RFL.

Gary Connolly got far worse from the Saints fans (and probably a few more sets of fans too) over the years.

Why was that overlooked?

There hasn't been any other chanting/slurs from any other clubs, yet

There might not of been chanting but there has been people shouting stuff at him.

He's got what he wanted anyway.

Indeed. A perfect description of bigotry and bigoted behaviour.

How do you know that?

While I don't in any way condone the behaviour which brought this about, there does rather seem to be a perception emerging whereby incidents are casually turned a blind eye to until they happen at Cas. At which point the offending club or player is made an example of by the powers that be.

Hey. Just because you're paranoid...
