Given the grade of the offense. Then 2 matches was probably the only outcome.

He pled guilty has a good record. If 3 was the maximum and they gave him 3 what would be the point of pleading guilty and having a good record. May as well draw the process out.

If people want to argue anything the only thing worth arguing is the original grading.

As for those comparing it to a spear tackle. Get real a spear tackle can kill you.

As for the homophobic abuse to the ref. Again the game demands high punishments for any abuse of the ref and I'm fine with that.

If it was homophobic abuse of a player you would probably get a lot less, again rightly so in my humble opinion. I want player on player to be less than player on ref.

If he had headbutted a ref, he would have been looking at a season out.

It's a rough sport, Dorn wasn't bothered in the interview at the end of the game, in fact if you'd asked him if Sinfield should have been banned he'd have probably said no.

Personally sending off sufficient for me.
People and their modern day sensibilities tsk

And after all that carnage the lousy RFL only hand out a 2 match ban.

Finally someone who understands and talks sense

Slightly different, but Tevita Leo- Latu got banned for 6 matches for directing a racist word toward Kevin Penny, which only Penny heard, who reported it to the touch judge. There does seem to be an air of who you and who you play for when it comes to disciplinary issues, but that can be said for most sports (Alan Shearer kicking Neil Lennon in the head etc) and life in general.

Well done to the Wigan fans who have posted on here, they generally show a pragmatic and realistic viewpoint.

Some of the bitterness and resentment from the smaller Yorkshire club supporters has been borderline hysteria.

Leo-Latu admitted it though, and had a pretty terrible disciplinary record so its no like its out of whack with Hardaker.

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.

A perfect example of an oxymoron, if ever I've seen one.

Now the hysteria has died down, 2 matches seems reasonable; Sir Kev's halo has slipped a little, but our game is full of angels with dirty faces - look at Barry Mac, the epitome of on-field thuggery, who has now become an avuncular uncle on the Sky team.

Life goes on.

TBF each of the opposition clubs have had realistic posters on this issue.....and each have had the inevitable mocked outrage ones too. But the same would happen with Leeds fans if the incident happened with a player from another team....some sensible, some calling for death.
