And another one who quotes " they are all against Leigh "

I have heard this one for 50 + years now, long long time for a conspiracy theory, are you being serious or sarcastic expecting that is the answer some will give?

As a set of supporters we need to give up it makes us sound soft.

Ok, can you find any other case, were someone has been given a 5 match ban for questioning the integrity of a Match Official?

You really haven’t a clue or you are being deliberately obtuse, you know damn well what Dawson did, and given the current tariff for the offence, he was lucky.

Can you name someone that has called a ref a cheat, and got less than 5 games?

No, but I've heard just as bad with a lenient outcome. I guess this has set a precedent now. We'll see.

I think there will be general change in attitude from the officials to the ever increasing cheating, gamesmanship and confronting referees. The games are getting less watchable as time passes.

I think so too. but we need consistency.

Although i don't know what he said,but............

Bradford Bulls youngster Reiss Butterworth will serve a one-match penalty notice for Grade B foul and abusive language to a match official.

Addressing the word ‘cheating’ to the ref is the reason for the difference in ban. Nothing to do with inconsistency.

So effin at the ref should get you a lesser grading so long as you don't mention the word cheating.

Yes, that’s about it, abuse the ref using foul language you get a ban, call his integrity into doubt and the ban increases. I suppose replacing ‘bar steward’ with one of the common four letter insults would add another match.

I get called all sorts me ,i couldn't care less. If someone accuses me of a thief,then if can prove it then fair enough. otherwise i would tell them to F*** O**

Just trying to make a point about the difference between general insults with bad language, and having your integrity questioned. Replace the word thief with cheat, or fraud or corrupt etc... Which is why Dawson got 5 games, and others get 1 game for abusive language.
