Nobel peace prize surely they won't bite on that one?

Let him have a break & get him on the New Coaches staff for the start of pre-season in 2017.

Great player one of the best Leeds players I've seen

It way too soon for him to think of coaching, especially at Leeds. If I were Sinfield I would hope coaching Leeds would be well down the list as it could only taint his legacy. He'd start off with warm and fuzzy feelings but if results aren't delivered it would only be a matter of time before the knives were out.

Completely disagree re-tainting his legacy thats etched firmly in our history also i dont think anyone is suggesting him to become our Head Coach asap id expect him to be on the staff at least 2/3yrs before that conversation even occured.

We need him at the club in a coaching role of some sort. He'd be absolutely wasted in a suit, he can always do that later in life, get him signed up as assistant coach with a view to becoming gaffer in a year or two time.

I would make him head of youth development and give him a free reign reporting to GH he can recruit the coaches and scouts he wants design a structure he wants etc - no influence from McDermott.

If his career isn't an inspiration to a young player nothing ever will be - if ever you wanted a role model as to how a career in RL can enhance the quality of your life it is him.

Great idea that. The youth should be seperated from McDermott anyway, who has took it backwards, or any other coach who is appointed. What a great inspiration for Juniors to be overseen by Sinfield.

Would still like him one day in GH job, but that would work great for now.

If he wanted to go into coaching - and everything I've read from him would suggest he doesn't, at least not right now - then it needs to be with a bunch of players that he has no previous history with.

One of the issues with Powell was that he struggled to command the authority and professional distance required to coach a bunch of blokes he'd been playing alongside just months previously. Anyone who has been promoted at work knows how difficult it can be to go from being "one of the lads" to "the boss".

Agree with that. I think it is why Peacock distanced himself from the club, he will be back one day in some capacity.

I think there will be an announcement as to what his future holds as soon as the RU season is over.I don't know what to think,but we could be in for a surprise

Some would argue the professional manner in which Sinfield operated he was The Boss anyway.

he doesn't need to work surely

Why not?

He's got probably 45-50 years of his life in front of him. With the best will in the world, he's not going to have earned enough from RL to be able to live off his career earnings no matter how well he's invested it.

Mac hull kr.. Sinny Matt Adamson us

In theory yes however Sinfield could be an exception to that rule as he was almost like a coach when he played and took training sessions and did the talking in the dressing room.

whether he does or doesn't but doubt anything has been squandered will prob be drawn back into the sport sometime prob admin side best

Ive just read YEP online and apparently he would like to take a job a Leeds ,but he is not asking for favours its got to be a proper job

True, I'd also say that even if he did have enough money (which he won't) he doesn't strike me as the type who'd be happy just doing nothing and would want to find a job to challenge him.

He actually didn't want to work for GH. Thought it would be a nightmare.

As a Rugby League fan something must be done, in my opinion, to keep him in the game. Obviously over the years I've shouted against him on the terraces, however talents like him do not come around very often. We need the likes of Kevin Sinfield in our sport in whatever capacity, he has too much to give. Having spoken to him a couple of times in the past he seems a perfect person to pass on knowledge, experience and advice to youngsters coming into the game. There are not many players that have commanded the respect that he has from players and fans from all clubs. Good luck for the future Kev in whatever you do, hopefully it will be a long career in Rugby League. That wasn't easy to type for a lifelong Cas fan I can assure you, but credit and respect where it is due.

It is pretty certain he will stay in the game, but he has always talked of an administrative role and distanced himself from talk of coaching roles.

Appears to rule out becoming Head Coach of Leeds then.

Meeeeoooowwwww.

Has he got any coaching qualifications? I was under the impression that he did not want to take this route. His great influence was to lead by example and lead on the field. I think he would find coaching very frustrating as now he is to retire from playing his influence may diminish. I think he may head in the direction of the media and perhaps the big screen.
