There was little force in either it was just pushing the head in someone’s face. 

Prior was getting up with Tomkins standing over him in his space,  as Tomkins does every time. 

Dudson walked into Sezer's space and moved his head into him. 

Agreed,  little force in any of it.

Indeed. He’s let it boil away all night. Like you say he’s like the wimpy teacher who kids ignore.

Both put there head in. No different, just more poor reffing.

Your having a laugh if you think the 2 incidents where similar

Game went when Mciloram lost it against Bently

Players are going to get wound up when the referee has been useless, and very one sided.

Bolted on the winner of this will be Champions then.

Just switched on the BBC Radio leeds commentary. Sounds erm a curious affair. What is going on here? Sounds meaty. I take it Leeds MBC employee James Child is refing a game with Leeds as it sound chaotic.

This is one mess of a game.

Such a low quality game with even worse officiating and discipline from both teams. 

[DavidM]

Child will be running right to the airport like them folk fleeing kabul

Catalans playing culture seems defined by early/mid 2010s Shaun Wane Wigan, and they're not as good. The frustration boils over as a result, happens all the time.

As I said 

I agree. 

Catalan lack discipline when decisions start going against them. They really aren’t smart. Leeds have played them tonight, got the rub of the green at times, and Catalan have imploded.

It was very different to what Prior did. 

Prior hid it better…

Prior clearly has a little nod at the end which Tomkins obviously over reacts to but it’s there. 

[Chrispmartha]

Basically Leeds nullified Catalans strengths and they didn’t like it.

 

outstanding win that

[yipyee]

Leeds foul play, may not even get a penalty

Catalan foul play for similar offences = card

You’re misrepresenting me. Tomkins was being Tomkins, Dudson was Dudson.

But at the end of the day, the referee didn’t decide that. Catalans reverted to their Neanderthal headhunter stuff and paid the price.

[Damien]

Why is Dudson on the field shaking hands? Surely if you are sent off that should be banner from the field of play, last game or not.

Both put there head in. Either both see red or neither do.

[Ant]

Both sides were awful, but once again Leeds won with spoiling, niggle, !@#£house tactics with an appallingly one sided ref

[Tommygilf]

Things being thrown at the players is unacceptable. 

Should be massive fines

[northamptoncougar]

Catalan have gone backwards, Leeds we’re there for the taking but the Dragons seemed shocked that Leeds didn’t just roll over. 

[WN83]

Really hope Oledzki is ok. It was be a tough blow to see him miss the World Cup if there’s anything major.

The problem though for Dudson is walking over and putting the head in.  There is no excuse that it was accidental. 

[DavidM]

I hope Oledzki hasnt got a bad injury

Surely he’ll be on the Leeds bus if they are all on the same plane.
