Wakefield will ban fans found guilty of causing a disturbance at Sunday’s opening Super League game at Castleford. The club have launched an investigation into the crowd trouble which came during their dramatic 24-22 win at the Jungle.

A Wakefield statement said: “The 1,500 or more travelling supporters behaved impeccably throughout the game but were let down by the actions of a small number of individuals who, if identified, will be banned from the club, ground and with the will of other parties, the sport of rugby league, throughout the world.

“The sport of rugby league and the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats club are appalled by their actions and both are committed to a sport characterised by on-pitch rivalry and off-pitch respect. The club will work alongside Castleford Tigers and the RFL to conduct a full investigation into the incident.”
