Well he's hardly a penalty machine, and last Saturday was going to happen anyhow with or without him

More worried about him missing for the Toulouse game- think we'll do fax, but the French game could be a big ask now

Alan plain to see he called the Ref a Cheating B#stard.

Long bans for both of them, bit ironic after all the flak thrown at Toronto about discipline.

Both can't be justified. But the irony of the ref not using the VR to review obstruction on Dawson was most definately ignorance on his part.

Ref never used video ref once as far as I can remember for any of Leeds tries, which says a lot.

It says that most of the tries were obviously OK even from half way, is this a sneaky attempt to transfer blame to the ref?

It now looks that our good cup run will come back and haunt us. Poor discipline as usual will result in more bans, just when we don't need them. Looking more and more unlikely we'll miss out on the play offs.

Verbally abusing the referee is completely unacceptable, Dawson’s red card was 100% deserved and he should be sitting a good few games out with a suspension too.

Dawson should be ashamed of his behaviour, as should the majority of Leigh fans who were shouting abuse at the referee at various times throughout last nights game.

Reminded of the footy ref, David Elleray's response to being accused of something similar, "You may accuse me of incompetence, but you may never question my integrity." Red card flourished.

The dismissal, whilst probably caused by the officials, was the only possible outcome.

Get some sense, Matty. Leave questioning a ref's impartiality to RLFans!!

Majority, Sir Wannabee Sinfield, really? Can you provide stats to substantiate your trollism? Nope? Thought not.

A minority of fans in every crowd at every sporting contest the world over question the legitimacy of the official's birth.

Dawson should, however, be fined all the weeks' wages for the matches that he misses as a result of his petulance.

I would have no complaints at all about a ban Ian. He was an idiot, and fully deserves a suspension.The frustration is, (and presumably was with Dawson) that the ref missed a blatant holding back on Dawson, that let the Leeds guy stroll in. I would remind people that Darcy Lussick was shown yellow, in Toronto's game at Warrington, for "foul and abusive language towards a match official." Sin binning was considered to be sufficient punishment. Now I believe Dawson should be suspended, as should Lussick.

Dawson will be looking at a long ban, no doubt about that.

I accept that the try scored was 'Illegal' and that he was frustrated by an evening of tough calls from Kendall following Brian McDermotts inexcusable pre match comments on the refereeing required last night but there is no condoning that. None.

In the 90s and very hot here in Belek.

Would have swapped it pouring down and a Leigh win!

The problem is Chris Kendall is nowhere near experienced or good enough to be anywhere near a professional game....

Its just the RFL are struggling for numbers, so he is deemed the "best of the rest".

I don't normally "bag" refs, but he's the worst I've EVER seen in 50 years!

Said as soon as he was listed to ref us he wouldn't do us any favours. McDermots comments didn't help, and you can't really argue with the sending offs. But, whilst refs of course have to have a confidence about them, his seems to be an arrogance. Not just the Leeds game, but every time I watch him it always has to be about him getting the attention, doubt he's ever played the game because he seems to have no concept or logic from a players point of view.

Using that last try as an example, why the heck could he not go to the VR, the linesman seemed to highlight it to him, it's clear something had gone on at the ruck - and that's not condoning Dawson's actions in any way shape or form.
