THE Rugby Football League will await reports from match officials before deciding whether to take action over incidences of crowd trouble at Castleford on Saturday night.
Bottles were thrown onto the field and some Catalans Dragons players were showered with beer from the stands after the French side held on for a 22-20 engage Super League win at The Jungle.
Home supporters had been angered over a number decisions throughout the game by referee Ian Smith, who was escorted off the field by a steward after the game.
An RFL spokesman said: "We are aware of the incidents but cannot comment until we have received reports from the referee and match commissioner."
The main bones of contention were Smith's decisions not to refer two Dragons tries to the video referee and a controversial penalty awarded just before the visitors' decisive score.
