Very out of character for Sinfield, but it was intentional with full contact. I wouldn't worry though, he was in a Rhinos shirt so will get sending off sufficient.

Great I love banter! Go f**k yourself you Wigan prick!

Cant beat a bit of banter ey pal?

that didn't take long, nice one

I think officials have been fairly consistent with cards over the last couple of years for foul play, what was he supposed to do say no sorry i won't red card him its Kevin Sinfield?

Why are all these Wigan fans so bothered? I thought Sinfield was supposed to be useless? Surely they should want no ban so he's on the field as long as possible.

The ref did the right thing. But those calling it a proper head butt have never given or reseaved one.

He won't be banned when you play us, well i doubt it.

Just out of curiosity when was the last time you read a post that said Sinfield is useless? I know a couple of seasons ago that was the majority opinion of him but i can't really remember anybody implying it lately?

Strange as it may seem, referees don't view everything through a prism of opportunity to annoy. If Thaler had any nefarious intention it was the overwhelming fear of a public evisceration if he had failed to send a player off for the most clear-cut reason we'll see all year.

Sounds like you've recieved many, and from your attitude i would say they where well deserved end of bell, banters great ain't it

I can remember the great gentleman Eric Ashton getting sent off for the first time in his career.Jack Fairbanks got slated for it

and here was me thinking you were mid 20's

I was at the game when Ashton and Fairbanks got sent off.
We got let out early from school so the teachers could go to the game.
A real punch up with fists flying if I remember correctly.
That was a long time ago!

Sinfield's surely was a head butt with full contact and aggression.
The mouthing off afterwards was pretty intense.
A four match ban reduced by one for EGP and previous good record and £300 fine.
To miss the semi, will that prove costly?

We were having games session and the score kept coming through.Me and Rogues have been at at the same big games too.

it shouldn't matter if Sinfields french kissed him or full on butted him, he's had a moment of madness and deliberately head butted him. IMO it should be an E grade offence but given his good record it probably won't be.
