Sadly, I think you have to be a total kn8b to get any honour from Buckingham Palace - Jonathan Davies MBE, Ray French MBE, Martin Offiah MBE. Kevin Sinfield just doesnt fit with them. He is knowledgeable, speaks well and articulately and is a top bloke. Nah - no gongs for Kevin I am afraid given the apparent selection criteria.

I've seen John Holmes, Les Dyl, Eric Grothe (briefly), ET, Gary Schofield, Iestyn Harris and Kevin Sinfield over the years in a Leeds shirt. I'm a lucky man.

In 30 years they'll be talking about Sinny in the same way they talk about Arthur Clues, John Holmes, Eric Harris and Lewis Jones.

Now FFS get Burrow and McGuire at 6 and 7 and move him back to 13 and let's start winning some big games.

Amazed Dave Heron missed your illustrious list of Leeds greats. He'd be on mine.

Kevin Sinfield still has more records to chase down - highest scoring SL player (SL Regular Rounds and Play Offs only) should be next on the list and club marks a plenty still to set.

Deserves all and whatever accolades are coming his way from club and fans alike.

That's surely taken for granted.

I think the best ever Rhinos player is certainly fair. I will go slightly further and say he's the best player Leeds RLFC or Rhinos have had in the time I've been watching, since the end of the 1980s. We possibly had more gifted players in that time, but none who have achieved so much in the blue and amber.

Have to wonder if such a committed socialist would accept a knighthood.

Or any other medals offered by the ruling classes? If he did, he'd have to question his own commitment to his principles.

MBE, OBE and CBE do NOT entitle you to call yourself a 'Sir', for that he would have to be knighted, which obviously he won't be.

As he called himself 'Sir' ?

doesn't need any medals, surely will go down as the best captain leeds have produced. Having seen and a great admirer of lewis Jones plus all the others to many to mention and remember. on second thoughts will name a few of my favourites, John Holmes, Micky Shoebottom, Barry Seabourne, Barry Simms, Bob Haigh, Ray Batten, Sid Hynes, Jamie Peacock, D Mcguire. Marvellous how the old memory comes back when you start to put a few names down. All great players in their own positions and down to everyones opinion,but Kev deserves to be recognised for his achievments

Just give the Man a Statue Outside Headingley in the Pose of Kicking a Conversion.

I think that would be a more fitting tribute to Sinny.

I've met both Ray French and Jonathan Davies, whilst only a very brief conversation I wouldn't describe either as a total kn8b. Both seemed fairly nice fellas to me.

Davies hates Leeds (Undercurrent of Hatred like Phil Clarke) and French should be looking out of a Window at a Home.

Enuf said

Ray French is a genuinely great servant of RL, and deserves the honour as much as anyone from a sport or broadcasting background. He is, I'll admit, a little off the pace now, but I just enjoy having his voice as background noise, because that's what Rugby League commentary sounded like when I was a wee nipper.

I maintain that the man is due some respect.

I'm not the greatest fan of Mr Davies as a commentator, but it should be kept in mind that he is an international in two codes and broadcasts for two codes.

I wouldn't, however, be overly surprised if Sir Kevin gets a gong of some sort after he retires.

How do people get honours such as MBE etc? Its it something to do with MPs putting forward individuals for consideration? If so couldnt we all contact Greg Mullholland and ask him to put Kev forward

Well he could politely refuse with dignity.I think the club should put a permanant tribute to Kevin Sinfield when he finishes then people could see his entire career achievements.I did read that the club were thinking of comissioning a statue of John Holmes as part of the south stand development.I wonder with the scaling down of the ss build if the Holmes statue will still go ahead?

I just maintain the view that Commentators should be like Players.......If they're past it, then they shouldn't be playing or commentating anymore. I'm sorry it my point seemed disrespectful, it wasn't meant to be.

And as for Davies, I really don't like him because he seems arrogant and sometimes talks out of his "Anus" like Offiah.

I'd prefer some Fresh, Knowledgeable blood from both the BBC and Sky Sports who are completely on the fence, unlike the jokers we have to put up with.

Kev should just change his name by deed poll to 'Sir Kevin Sinfield'.

It's probably not legal, but worth a try!

Perhaps a renaming of the North or South stand at HQ would be a lasting tribute to undoubtedly the clubs greatest ever captain ?

Great player, very successful skipper and nice bloke as well, well done kev.

it showed in his comments when saying players could earn more elsewhere but chose to stay at Leeds

he has leeds in his blood and will not be forgotten by all of us Rhinos

Something on this sort of scale?

Maybe something with less right wing / Nazi imagery.

Ah, something more left wing?

Or a better Lenin/sports mix:
