I think, as people have said, Sinfield expected Dorn to put his head in too, have a bit of a rub. He didnt. So we got a wierd unco-ordinated head push thing.

Dorn 'old manned' him, from tackle to penalty Dorn out-thought Sinfield.

Lower end of the scale and outstanding record, 3 games for grade C, 1 taken off for EGP, 2 games and some money for Nige's biscuit kitty.

Just watched it for the first time. I think Sinfiekd lost his cool because Dorn was trying to do the refs job for him which is something Sir Kev would never do!

In truth it was all a bit of a fuss over not much. He should be looking at 2 or 3 games but not much more then that.

I don't find it hard to believe, in fact I know this is the case. But based on the evidence on my TV screen I have come to the conclusion it was practised, and a blatant attempt to put Daz out of action. As a Leeds fan it might be hard for you to believe my opinion differs from yours.

And pretty much everyone elses.

Given the size of Sinfields forehead its lucky Dorn survived the impact!

The grading for head butts looks a bit silly to me. How can a head butt not be aggressive or violent!

His good record can't come into play until they've decided what to charge him with.

Whatever he get's charged with I assume he'll get the lowest end of the scale, which is quite right as he has such a good record.

So you still can't actually construct an arguement to suggest Peacock didn't actually grab and twist and hold onto the ankle far too long in the tackle well beyond what you would construe as 'normal'?
No, I didn't think so? what you did though however was highlight your intelligence level & understanding or lack thereof and tried the usual RL fans 'I'll respond with an insult or move the discussion away from what I can't actually argue against because it's so bleedin' obvious I'll get slaughtered in a proper discussion with an adult' type response.





it's okay sonny, many have done it, I enjoy reading your type of response, it makes me feel so superior without any difficulty or effort on my part.




You & your fans, I say that because none of you want to admit Peacock is a grub & is turning into a nasty piece of work and at times worryingly out of control. Maybe he has mental health issues in a similar vein that of Hock, which would be sad that a decorated player like Peacock would fall so much from grace. Who knows, but his behaviour pattern of late should be worrying for him, his family and you as fans, maybe a head injury has mushed his ability to restrain himself?

But to deny there was no intent to injure another player and instead deflect the issue (or your lack of ability to defend peacock properly) by calling others 'Drama Queens' (clearly you don't know what that means either) & with a comparison to yourselves of fictional beings whom I'm sure have more awareness of life beyond Leeds & RL than some of your 'hive', is completely laughable, but that's what I come onto RL fans for..a laugh and to entertain myself with such as yourself..

Shame this has taken away from a fantastic spectacle between two good teams.

Can only admire Cas and Daryl Powell, proved the doubters who thought they'd melt away wrong.

watched it again this morning, im still trying to see how some leeds fans claim dorn looked to move his head towards sinfield!

First McGuire...now Sinfield & Peacock.

Great players who's ageing and star is on the wane and its irritating them, hence their actions a lately.

The first half was awful, I wanted to head-butt just about every player on the pitch, and the ref, and the video refs.

I did not see the incident but I now feel that my children are so shocked from not seeing this episode of violence that there is nothing less than a full game ban required.

Please please ban him and anyone who has played with him in the last 4 weeks, then at last Saints may have a chance if they can get to a Grand Final of not coming up against Leeds.

#Up the ban

Sorry Knockers, I completely lost interest by end of the line two of your rant so gave up. I'm sure there was a point in there somewhere though and hope you got whatever it was you needed to, out of your system.

Luke Dorn's after match interview was spot on. Shocked that it was Sinny but these things happen in the heat of the moment. Probable 3 match ban - 2 at least.

Mate, don't let your kids watch it. He swore at another player as well. They'll be scarred for life.
Oh and whatever you do, don't let your Mrs see it or she'll never let them play RL.



We'd still beat you

It was poor and surprising from Sinfield, but it doesn't deserve more than a 1 match ban. I'd call it sending-off sufficient personally, taking into account that Dorn did get in his face, and that while Sinfield did inexplicably but Dorn, it was a "shove my face into yours" type of butt and not a decent Glasgow kiss, with accompanying crunch and blood.

If Sinfield gets a 3 or 4 match ban then it is in his particular case well OTT both taking into account his record and what he actually did.

What was refreshing was watching a sport where Dorn doesn't flinch, and just looks at Sinfield with a mix of bemusement and shock. In the World Cup, it would have justified a backward swallow dive with triple Salko, a seemingly epileptic, face-clutching fit and floor bang, ten minutes of treatment by at least 6 doctors and paramedics, and stretchering off.

You've not read this thread have you?

Sinfield has the easiest defence... Gareth Hock made him do it... simples!!!!

To be fair, he will cop a ban but I hope it's 2 games max as although most opposition fans hate Leeds and are jealous of Sir Kev's abilities, it was totally out of character for him so would be nice for the ban to reflect that...

On another point, Dorn could've avoided contact in the same manner as the poor ref with Gareth

Dorn's aftermatch interview could also go in Sinfields favour, honest mistake from a top professional and role model, hopefully he gets sending off sufficient doubt it though.

Although he has to cop some sort of ban for what happened, it certainly wasn't a "Barnsley Kiss".
Some folk are wetting themselves in anticipation but, they are going to be disappointed when it's 1-2 games.
That is unless the "beak" want to make some sort of an example of the England captain.

Well. I'll stick me neck out and forecast that they (rightly) find a way either not to ban him at all, or make it 1 match.

I don't think you will be far away with that but, I'm sticking with 1-2.
Had it not been on Sky, then 0-1 but I don't think it will be SOS.

He shouldn't have to avoid the contact though should he?

I think he was taking the P

Don't think you can let him off completely. While he does have an excellent record, he is a half back/ball playing loose. Not really a physical player so will always have a decent record. 3 game ban for me.

Just watched the incident again and Peacock grabbing Dorn's throat was really unsavoury for me. I like the biff but stuff like thay doesn't belong in RL. Play football if you want to do dirty little tactics like that. Stuff like that are usually what players with little talent do to try upset opposition. Not players like Peacock. Sort it out man!
