Surely the RFL will give him the benefit of the doubt given his previous good record. They will have to be seen to be doing something so a two game ban would seem to satisfy all but the lunatic fringe.

Merely speculating, but I wonder if Sinfield was so wound up because we'd totally cocked up the play before when rather than set up for the (potentially) game winning drop goal, DM had thrown yet another hospital line ball pass to Ablett that he knocked on & from which Dorn gained possesion leading to the Sinfield tackle & subsequent fracas?

It was only out of character in that he took it a step further than usual. He's forever mouthing off, beyond the line of him being captain. It was shocking, but only because he always pulls himself together before it gets physical. He deserved sending off and deserves a couple matches ban. It was a one off and you'll never see him do that again.

You'll easily and quickly be able to provide 5 examples of such behaviour then won't you.

Yes but you see when he got deliberately and cynically flattened in the 2012 grand final he was in no fit state at that moment to mouth off.Of course the perpetrator got away with it .Should have been sent off.It worked out well in the end the good clean team one the game

Has anyone thought that instead of Sinny costing us a point in the league he saved us a point?

Dorn had broken the line and was well through when Kev tackled him, had he got up with a quick play the ball the Leeds defence were nowhere and there was more than a good chance that Cas may have scored.

Kev's actions and subsequent outburst prevented Cas using that momentum to go on and score.

When you've had 17 years of being hit with cheap shots by every no-mark in the game, I reckon you're entitled to one loss of composure when some gobby little sod gets in your face.

If it ends up being any more than two games (the low end of the middle grading, less one for EGP), then the game has gone mad.

You don't lose a game for an EGP - you get the lowest possible sanction.

So if it's 3-4 games ban, then he'll get 3 for EGP.

No excuse for Kev , but the second time this season someone has stuck one on Dorn , go figure .

imo if sir kev doesn't get hung drawn and quartered by the rl disciplinary committee this week then these rl forums will go into meltdown with mass hysteria

How many games did Michael Monaghan get for the headbutt to Kevin's cheekbone in the 2012 Grand Final?

no, i like lemons

Probably none. But I can't really remember.

Accidental clash of heads apparently.
