Castleford furious at fine for fans' homophobic abuse of Gareth Thomas

• Tigers fined £40,000 for failing to control supporters
• Club 'refutes' reasoning behind tribunal verdict

Castleford has been fined £40,000 after some of their fans directed homophobic taunts at Gareth Thomas

Castleford have reacted furiously after being fined £40,000 for allowing their supporters to direct homophobic abuse at Gareth Thomas in his second Super League appearance for the Crusaders in March.

A Rugby Football League tribunal chaired by his Honour Rodney Grant found the Tigers guilty of breaching the governing body's Respect policy, of misconduct by their supporters and of conduct prejudicial to the interests of the sport.

Thomas responded to the ruling through his agent, Emanuele Paladino, who said: "Gareth Thomas is all about positive messages and positive changes, and to that end today was a huge step forward for Gareth and the world of sport.

"It is not about the fine, but rather recognition that this behaviour from a small section of the Castleford fans is not acceptable in 2010. Unfortunately what happened at Castleford could not be ignored. We are delighted that the RFL have taken action against what is a serious and upsetting incident for all parties."

Castleford, however, who were fined £20,000 last year for their supporters' misbehaviour during a home defeat by the Catalans Dragons, revealed they are taking legal advice and considering an appeal.

"To say we are disappointed and shocked is an understatement," said their chief executive, Richard Wright. "The evidence does not support the decision and does not in any way support the scale of the penalty. We totally refute the outcome of the hearing."

They have engaged Rod Findlay, formerly the RFL's own legal adviser, who said: "There was some chanting on the day, we agreed this with the tribunal panel, there were three incidents lasting only a few moments, two of which were drowned out by public address announcements.

"The club condemns any person who makes or chants obscene remarks towards players or officials. But the charges against the club are not that there was chanting, they are that the club failed to take its best endeavours to prevent or stop any chanting. This the club refutes totally. The club has a well-established system for dealing with chanting and could not have done any more on the day.

"This season the club has been one of the most proactive in Super League when it comes to promoting a family friendly environment at the stadium, working hard all season to create an atmosphere within the stadium that is inclusive for all sections of the community."

Half of the £40,000 fine has been suspended, but the Tigers will still have to pay £40,000 immediately because a suspended fine of £20,000 following last year's incident – in which their supporters threw beer bottles on to the pitch and abused the match officials – will now be activated.

That will make a serious impact given the difficult financial times that the Tigers, like the majority of the Super League clubs, are currently experiencing. That in turn offers further evidence of the RFL's commitment to challenging homophobia and embracing diversity, after they were singled out for praise by the Stonewall charity earlier this year.

Thomas has encountered no problems in any of his eight other Super League appearances since joining the Crusaders from Cardiff in March. He has been out for two weeks with a groin problem, which is expected to rule him out again for Sunday's home game against Warrington in Wrexham. His former Wales team-mate Andy Powell, who has been considering a six-figure offer to join him in league next season, is reportedly leaning towards a move to the French union club Agen instead.

Hello again everyone

Apologies for the long delay in posting, I have been very busy with work and training!

As suggested by Leatherbear, I will talk about various aspects of martial arts, and how they apply and what they mean to me

Martial arts does have a profound effect on you when you start to make progress. Besides the physical aspects, such as improved fitness and co-ordination, there are other aspects too. My personal experience has been that as well changes to your mental attitude in general, as well as a stronger sense of discipline, there is a spiritual element that for me was completely unexpected.

Now when I say spiritual, I do not mean I became a religious person overnight, or that I found that  a belief system made more sense. What happened then? After a year or so of training, I began to understand the concept of energy, and the way it flows in relation to people, and how this can affect your body. Perhaps this is because in the study of martial arts, the concept of energy is very prominent?

For example, kung-fu has a lot of techniques that move with your opponents energy, and re-direct it rather than trying to stop it, and when our Sifu showed us a more in depth look at the techniques that we were learning, it became more clear.

During our time training at the club, there have also been opportunities to cover some Tai-Chi and Chi-Soa. While people may not think Tai-Chi is very interesting to watch, and I have to admit I did not like learning Tai-Chi at first, it is a fighting art. The movements are all fighting movements, and everything has an application, which if done faster could be deadly to your opponent. Having seen Tai-Chi weapon forms at the Gay Games, I can say that when done at a fighting speed, there is no doubt as to the viability of Tai-Chi as a martial arts style. Again, their forms are all about redirecting the energy of an attacker, just done very slowly and precisely.

Now you're thinking, how does this connect to a spiritual change? Well… It's hard to explain, the introduction to, and the understanding of the concept of energy is just one aspect of the change.

Slowly over time, I have developed a more spiritual side, and have become more patient and less hectic over everyday and mundane things that in the grand scheme of things don't really matter.

It was completely unexpected, and it does seem strange that a committed atheist like myself, but it appears that it is not just me who has been affected in this manner. Weird isn't it!

Later on I will talk about discipline amongst other things!

And don't forget if you want to talk about any subject within martial arts you can send me a PM or reply to the topic!

yeah toronto!  ;D
