Disgraceful language and head butt from Sinfield tonight. Lets see how the panel deal with this!

A bit dubious for the ref to dispatch his assistant with 12 minutes to play.

They'll take his previous good record into account, he'll take an early guilty plea to limit the damage and he'll get 2 games which Leeds will accept and use it as an opportunity to rest him for the play offs and CC Final.

It was though a disgraceful display of thuggery and obscene language from a player who can feel his career fading.

There was an amazing lack of condemnation from the Sinfield worshiping SKY team, at one point Hemmings actually tried to say that Dorn had butted Sinfield.

Had that been Richard Moore, They'd have been calling for a lifetime ban.

Halo definitely slipped tonight.

Perhaps Sinfield was trying to reshape his forehead ? It's rather unsightly as it is.

Early guilty plea can't be used if he is charged with the grade E-F offence, and as they described that as (something along the lines of) 'aggressive contact with the head', it is what he should get. I'd say I'd be amazed if he isn't charged at that level, but very little in RL amazes me.

I'd be intrigued to know what made him flip mind; uncharacteristic, even if he isn't the Saint that the dreadful duo would have us believe. In fairness, the Hood was pretty straight up about it, even if Wiggy couldn't quite accept it.

He should be charged with a Grade E-F offence but he won't be, he'll get a Grade C and the RFL will grow cloth ears at the protests.

He'll get 4-5 games for that

Minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 match ban. I can't see how this can be overlooked as he was sent off. No excuses and a terrible display of losing control.

Was it hell, he pushed him with his head, it was hardly a butt, yes of course he deserved sending off but disgraceful display of thuggery, never.

????? Anyone using their head to attack a player is showing a disgraceful display of thuggery. No matter if it was just pushing (which it wasn't)

This is the Sky/SL poster boy we are talking about here. I haven't studied the options but I will bet a sizeable sum that its the lowest punishment the rules allow. I would say, given that it was bad language and a head butt which wasn't the hardest or most harmful I've ever seen, the next to highest tariff for me.

It was a head butt, there was more behind it than a bit of push as you could see the effects of the impact on Dorns head.

Indefensible, except by a few who don't know what they're talking about.

I can't believe the reaction tonight, like the mrs said is like the queens farted
