CANTERBURY Bulldogs face the harshest of punishments, including being stripped of competition points, if there is a repeat of Friday's disgraceful crowd behaviour at ANZ Stadium.
The Bulldogs have also vowed to warn their captain James Graham and the players about their lack of respect for referees that has been blamed for inciting fans to throw bottles at match officials after the game.
It is expected Graham and teammate Dave Klemmer will be charged by the NRL for referee abuse, facing fines and possible suspensions.
The loss of competition points will also be considered if there are more crowd disturbances involving Bulldogs fans this year.

And the threat should serve as a warning to other teams if their fans behave in the same manner.
"Under the game's code of conduct, there are a range of sanctions available to consider, which we will do in a thorough and considered way," NRL CEO Dave Smith said.
"These matters were serious and extremely disappointing for the entire game and do not reflect the game's values both on and off-the-field. We will be working with the police, ANZ Stadium and the Bulldogs to carefully review all matters regarding fan behaviour."
Meanwhile, Canterbury chief executive Raelene Castle said she and coach Des Hasler would address Graham and the entire team about the importance of respecting refereeing decisions.
"James wants to be captain of the Bulldogs for a long period of time and he needs to build a respectful relationship with the officials," Castle said.
"It's part of the role that he has to be seen as someone they want to work with and have a sensible conversation with on the field.
"That means in the first minute of the game or in the heat of the battle in the 80th minute. Leadership is a learning process. He's just started. None of us get it right all the time. He's got to learn from it and use it in a positive way going forward.
"It's something Des and I will be talking to James and the team about."

The Bulldogs CEO was assisting police and working alongside NRL and ANZ Stadium staff yesterday in the bitter aftermath to one of the code's most controversial days.
Castle accepted the blame on the club's behalf.
"It's really frustrating when you have 40,500 people and 40,400 of them are cheering loud with great passion and enthusiasm but they don't cross that line," she said.
Castle said it would be wrong for the NRL to take action against the club.
Overseas soccer clubs have lost competition points for crowd misbehaviour.
