SAINTS are taking action after a plastic pop bottle was thrown in the direction of Leeds Rhinos forward James Bentley as he left the pitch following his sin-binning.

The incident occurred late in the game and was reported by a number of disgusted home fans.

Although the object did not hit the former Saints Grand Final winner, it did catch his attention as he walked away from the West Stand area.

Saints have moved swiftly and action will now be taken against the culprit.

A club spokesman said: "We have reviewed the CCTV footage and it is now in the process of being dealt with."
