One of the most gutless acts I've seen on a Rugby League pitch.  I believe American import Brandon Anderson was the victim.

Incident starts at 1:42:00 in the video...

After the first set of punches which were well out of order the rest was a bit of nothing. Players chasing each other, throwing a couple of punches then nothing. I was in the middle of worse in NW Counties u17's.

It took a long time to get the game restarted as well.

The more I see of Serbian RL the more I think it’s populated by testosterone pumped body builders with a point to prove.

To be fair that’s not true , but I do wonder if seeing RL fights on YouTube of the old days that people think this is acceptable?

But I do think it could lead to attracting the wrong people to the game

It’s disgraceful and should be addressed ASAP.

However, you have to remember that Serbian RL is in it’s infancy and we are trying to draw comparisons without considering the cultural differences that exist.   It was only 20 years ago that Serbians were still involved in conflict in the Balkans.

And more importantly, RL had been going for 100 years in this country when Kelvin Skerrett was at his peak of recklessness!   Anyone who watched in the mid-90s can testify to that.

Of course it is still abhorrent and needs stamping out (no RU puns please).

Also can't be forgotten that this is partisan vs red star, one of the fiercest rivalries in Global sport - its also not just a sporting rivalry. But If everyone shakes hands at the end then fair play.

As far as these contests go this clash looked rather tame lol.
