.... matches without Kevin?

The letter of the law says very many. Without Kevin I am no longer confident of a successful season.

McGuire and Burrow back to being the half backs?

I don't think Sutcliffe or Ward or stand offs....Moon or even Watkins - so dangerous with ball in hand - would be better.

BUT then who fills the vacant centre spot? Handley?

Can he enter an early guilty plea for this kind of offence?

Not sure if putting your head into someones face is the same as a headbut , should not be but not sure how the disciplinary see it

he got the situation wrong but it was defiantly a head butt after dorn had decided not to square up.

He won't get a ban Leeds run the RFL don't they?

It was a football headbutt not a rugby headbutt. The over-reaction to it, starting from the Sky clowns downwards, has been immense. I don't know what's happened to our game.

Still surprised Sinfield did it, but should be Grade B, light contact headbutting which is 1-2 match ban minus early guilty plea. Grade C would be full contact with head 2-3 matches. Grade E is full contact with head in violent aggressive manner (4-8 matches no EGP) but anyone who actually knows what a headbutt is wouldn't charge him with that.

He should get grade B, probably will get grade C, and there'll be 30-page threads on how outrageous it all is that he's ever allowed to play again.

Dorn had unfairly won a penalty by holding on to Sinfield who took umbrage at this and the verbals from Dorn as he took a step towards Sinfield with his face extended. Sinfield inexcusably pushed his face into Dorn's face not quite in the classic head butt style. It was more of a Aussie kiss and Dorn in his after match interview showed that no damage was done. Sinfield will plead guilty with no wicked intent and previous good record so should get a lower ban which could still be 4 matches as use of the head is frowned on.

Aye. Fans claim it's gone soft an it's been sanitised but yet whenever anything remotely resembling "biff" happens on a RL field the same fans who complain the games gone soft are the first ones to get sand in their gash over it.

Grade C - EGP 2 match ban

Good god the foaming at the mouth if he only gets 2 matches and is free to play in the CC semi will be at unprecedented levels from other fans.

Btw wouldn't argue at all if he did get 3 matches (seems around the right mark to me).

It won't ruin the season as a whole as he'd have to get a very unlikely 7/8 games which would roll into the playoffs......but the CC could be a different story.

If somehow he got 5 matches he'd miss Wembley IF we get there.

It wasn't a proper headbutt, but it was certainly aggressive. I'd expect 4-6 matches. Ignoring the hyperbole and mouth-frothing, it was a very stupid thing to do. Most unexpected from him, and very disappointing. Whatever happened to provoke it, Dorn gets a bit of credit for his reaction. No girly rolling around and histrionics to the ref.

Might have cost us a point tonight (although I thought Cas were more than good value for one). Could cost more with a semi final looming.

I think you have gave a good balanced post. I would moan if he got less than 3, personally would say 4 with a game off for good behaviour.
