Head butt is a head butt. If you go in with your head, and your teeth gritted, you're throwing a headbutt. Simple. The fact that Dorn isn't even talking to Sinfield, Sinfield has to walk over to Dorn to do it. No squared up "rutting" there, just a head butt. I have no problem with squared up rutting, even punches- good honest biff, but when it's unprovoked and intentional, it's just wrong.

What a game that was! Worthy of a grand final.

Sending off sufficient. Get a grip people, it is rugby league football. These things happen. I don't remember the cries of outrage on here after the sly, unprovoked punch from Westwood during last years grand final.

Good post, especially the middle paragraph. Brian McDermott held his hands up in the post match interview and said that Sinfield had apologised to his own players.

I go with a 3 game ban for Sinfield. Minimum tariff of 4 matches because of previous good nature and one off for a early plea if it's allowed.

Looks like there'll be an extra long half-time commercial break while the Sky commentators have a special bukkake party

"remarkable traveling support from warrington"
really??
i would have expected wire to take 2,000 to widnes so not really remarkable.

If only we took the numbers Huddersfield do.

you have in some games..
my point was that while it was a good turnout by wire it was hardly remarkable taking 2000 down the road.

Surely they can get some better commentators at sky . It's painful listening to this Catalans wake game and does nothing to promote our game. Cloth cap cones to mind

Salford have been absolute dog excrement in that first half.

They're making Sarginson and Gelling look like Gene Miles and Mal Meninga. SHEESH.

Here comes Union Tomkins - BOO! Let's see how much that sport has ruined his game...

Yeah, Salford are dreadful. They look like Asotasi has been teaching them handling skills, Hock has been training them in tackling technique and Chase is about as exciting to watch as a biog about Victoria Beckham's favourite handbag shop.

It looks like 2 similar teams but Wigan being the fittest.
Wigan don't look like world beaters either.
I suppose to be fare to the pies, they've only have a 4 day turnaround.

I would love Mozza back for another season.

Nobody knows what he's going to do next, so his teammates are in catch-22 situations every time the ball's in his hand. Should they make the run?hold ground?stand there with their hands on their hips while he s up again?will he pass?won't he?who will he pass to?will he kick?did we do any set plays in training or did we just stand and watch Rangi about for five days straight?

Yesterday's man. Even if Simms doesn't quite measure up (and he has the recent pedigreee, unlike Asotasi) we have Hill, England, Evans & Wood.

You look at that starting X111 for Salford (yes, they're missing some players), and Dr Koukash's assurance that they'll be top 4 come September, is comedy gold.

They have a pack with no grunt.
Halves who can "turn it on" when they want, but when do they want to
and average backs.

A side of has beens, never will bes, and wage thieves.

Wane's getting over excited in beating these. He's like "Competitive Dad" from The Fast Show.

The "good" Doctor's piddled his money up the wall

FFS what for

his recipe for lemon drizzle cake?
We held on to Morley for AT LEAST one season too long.


A sad day, but Moz is finished.

Retire quickly, before you get a REALLY bad injury, Moz. The game owes you nothing

Haha yeah. Throw in Phil Clarke's league leaders prediction, the Mike Bassett-esque appointment of Harris and the panto villain that is Hock and you have the kind of surrealism that Monty Python would have abandoned as being too silly.

Sort of agree. Don't forget though, they were the worst team in the comp last year, and believe it or not there've been worse teams this year. So there has been progress. Progress year on year and they might be top 4 contenders in four or five years.

They were absolutely shocking tonight though.

Perhaps. I think we could spell him over a season and release Asotasi.
I wouldn't say hes finished but yes he has slowed a gear or two but still solid in defence.

I think Koukash needs to sit in

[i[uTHE COMFY CHAIR[/u[/i

hahaha

wane"we was outstanding"

less of the pies being outstanding...
I think Salford collapsed through fitness and gave up the goat about 10 mins into the 2nd half.
