Couldn't believe what I was seeing! I think Sinfields frustration was with himself at giving away the penalty, but he swore at Dorn who then said some choice words back and it stemmed from that, it was a ridiculous over reaction, it wasn't a proper headbutt IMO but I think it deserves 3 matches, his record should help him but it could cost leeds dearly and just as we were getting a full team back.

other than that it was a great game, and I think a draw was the right result both teams looked great in both attack and defence but only in patches and both teams lacked composure which as a leeds fan surprises me as usually we manage to sniff a win from these games.

This is where the disciplinary have made a rod for their own backs really, you let Bowen off with trying to take someone's head off off the ball in week 1, you let Dudson charge into the back of players off the ball until it's so obvious you can't not charge him and then give him three games (not deliberately picking Wigan players here, they were just the first two that came to mind) so where do you go with one of SuperLeague's top players who's not said boo to a goose in 6 years when they have a meltdown moment? Based on all of that they should apologise and give him no ban, but realistically 3 games for me, sadly.

Jeez - sine die.... And probably a criminal charge for attempted murder

Dunno, this one aint too shabby..



or this...



In fact, the whole thread's full of them

The emergency services would still be sweeping through LS6 looking for parts of Luke Dorn's face!

i sore that he is slowly becoming an idiot how is throttling somebody not a ban? its the 3rd time i have seen him do it.

glad to see Sinfield true colours come out rather than the fake humility attitude he usually serves up

Oh good lord, we have a winner

What a load of tosh, the guy has played the game for over 15 years and has been sent off once.

Yes, umpteen years of being an honest, fair and humble player is almost certainly fake, especially when compared to the one time we've seen him lose his cool for ten seconds. You've certainly got his number.

As for Peacock, he was defending his captain as most top props do week in week out.

No, you're wrong. He's been faking it for the last 480-odd games.

Peacock has started to become the pantomime villain except that it's real violence. I'm 50/50 on the intent in that tackle but regardless it was defiantly one which carried the potential to cause serious damage.

Sinfield's head butt, unfortunately going by the letter of the disciplinary guidelines is a serious one. While his record is good, in my opinion he has been a dirty, maybe niggly player for years and he's going to get a lighter penalty than another player in the same position.

You've contradicted yourself here. If you didn't think it was a 'proper' headbutt then it wouldn't deserve 3 matches would it?

It was definitely a 'proper' headbutt. He didn't rub heads like that Leigh player did to Peacock in the CC game. (Peacock who got off scott free for punching - probably the only player to do so this season). He clearly headbutted and his manner was definitely aggressive. All that was very plain to see. Whether the disciplinary committee have some special kind of headbutt in mind when they describe it as aggressive (Grade E-F, 4-8 matches) rather than a headbutt while displaying an aggressive manner I don't know but by the RFL's own disciplinary rules he can't be charged with anything less than a Grade C (3-5) because he definitely made full contact with Dorn's head!

In other breaking news .... Did Ronnie actually eat a blue and amber loom-band rhino tonight ? I have photographic evidence .

Seriously, nobody within the game (cretins from Wigan who've never got over the humblings of 2012 don't count) doesn't think Sinfield is a legend and a nice fella. But he'll get a proper ban like anybody else, tapered for his good record.

That's a big ask on here Jim.
