Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

McDermott dry-runs the case for the defence in his press conference here:
www.therhinos.co.uk/matchdaytv/? ... a&id=18786
I hope the journos picked up on the key message at its third repetition. Did you know that Sinfield has played hundreds of games and has had just two seconds, no errr make that half a second of madness? ?
"I think we can all afford him a little momentary lapse can't we".
We can, Brian, we surely can. One of the RFL's nice warning letters should do the trick. |

If you're giving 4-6 matches on a maximum grade for that then what do you do when someone lands a *real* headbutt? You'll have to invent new letters for the disciplinary process. |

If he gets 4 matches for that I will consider watching another sport. No more contact than the Leigh player who dropped on Peacock - and he wasn't even charged. Now if Dorn had manned up and thrown a few then I would have been happy with that as well. |

As has been said the RFL do not like head butts.
OK we've all seen far worse but after last week's Catalans nonsense I think they'll go with a four match ban reduced by one for an EGP and previous good record.
Three matches and a £300 fine.
Missing the semi is the really big question.
How will Leeds manage without their leading player?

Anyone who wants to wonder what's happened to the game could search a well known site for Andy Farrell headbutt, or Adam Fogerty headbutt. Yellow cards both of them (good old Russell). Then they could search for Les Boyd headbutt (play on!). Some of the delicate flowers on here would probably need a good lie down afterwards though. |

Kris Welham received no suspension for a headbutt on Luke Dorn back in February.

If the RFL don't like use of the head, why didn't Monaghan get a masisve suspension for what he did to Sinfield in the GF a few years back? That was one of the most cynically dangerous fouls I've seen, with far more force than the average headbutt, yet nothing seemed to come of it.

I think the RFL will give him 2/3 games I actually think he expected Dorn to come into him as well in a head shoving confrontation but Dorn held his ground.

I've not seen the incident so can't comment. But when I heard about it my 1st thought was he'll get 2 matches with the RFL saying it would be 3 but 'good record,heat of the moment, no real damage to other player, red card given during game etc etc etc etc.
He'll get 2 games reduced to 1 if the EGP is available (I'm not sure it is an option for anything over grade B). |

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.'"
4-6 game ban sounds excessive when you consider the EGP and an impeccable disciplinary record dating back to the start of his professional career. |

I'm sorry. Did we just compare the Sinfield offence to murder? If we could all just retain a tad of reality, that would be great.
Oh and, those convicted of 'assault' if you could even compare the Sinfield offence to that, definitely do get a lighter sentence for first offence. Especially considering there was literally no damage to the 'victim'. |
