Lets just get this out of the way



Strikes - head butting

A-B Head Butting – makes light contact

C Head butting – makes full contact

E-F Head butting – makes full contact in aggressive violent manner



Definite C, wouldn't be surprised it it's E.

It was never an E offence he didn't put any really effort into it but it was a full head butt so C should be the correct grading.

It's not biased when it's exactly what you saw on the TV? It was quite clear Sinfield couldn't remove his leg from the tackle - got frustrated threw some words Dorns way, Dorn returned words, Sinfield headbutted/french kissed him...

to be fair they they both had hold of one another, Kev had a brain fart simples

Sinfield reacted to when Dorn suggested Thaler sin binned him, but Sinfield knew what he was doing in the original offence he was trying to buy extra seconds in the tackle.

Hilarious thread as expected.



Thaler can put that red card in his trophy cabinet, it will make a great after dinner speach. He couldn't believe his luck - a chance to send off Kevin Sinfield. He didn't waste it, unlike all the other opportunities he and his colleagues have bottled this season.



This must be the most shambolic, cockless bunch of officials we have ever assembled in the history of the sport.

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.
