Wakefield Wildcats coach Richard Agar has said that he expects his side to be awarded a victory after tonight's Super League match at Castleford Tigers was abandoned with seven minutes remaining.
The Wildcats had just scored their sixth try to move 37-16 ahead when spectators were told to evacuate the Princess Street Stand amid fears for their safety.
Referee Ben Thaler suspended play and, following a 10-minute delay, he then blew for full time.
"I think the rule from the RFL is that the result can stand if it goes past 60 minutes but it's at their discretion," explained Agar.
"Myself and [Castleford coach] Ian [Millward} spoke on the sideline in consultation with the match officials and everybody's safety is paramount.
"We didn't know how long it was going to be before we could get the game going again so, with seven minutes to go, we felt the sensible thing was to let the result stand, especially with four scores in it at that point."
If the result does stand, Wakefield will climb to ninth in the Super League table.
