I want to win the lottery but it doesn’t mean its going to happen.

I don't think so tbh. Losing him as a player, yes. Him wasting the year after his retirement turning out in front of 500 at Headingley was just pointless, but if he'd gone earlier it would have been a tragic waste of talent.

As an administrator however he hasn't really proven much so far, notwithstanding last year's cup win. It might mess up the club's succession planning a bit but in terms of running the club the loss of Hetherington would be grievous whereas Sinfield as DOR could be relatively easily replaced.

Kevin Sinfield is probably one of the most well known people to do with RL, him going to do anything in RU would be a loss to the game, we’ve lost far too many hight profile people to RU in my opinion.

This would make headline news (sports wise) and it wouldn’t look good for RL

Imo

Kev has more than earned the right to do whatever he thinks is best; however on face value it would be a blow to lose him.

It’s hard enough to rebuild the club but actually having some consistency of direction isn’t a bad thing for a while.

I don’t feel his work is finished but if he feels a change is right - then it probably is. We will see.

he/s had 2 top league jobs created for him might as well go to union till gh pops off instead of being assistant to him

Don't underestimate the weight his name carries. I know money talks when signing players, but remember what Tetevano said when he signed...

[i"We'd just finished the season at Penrith when I got the phone call Kev was pretty keen to have us at Leeds," recalled Tetevano, who still had a year to run on his Panthers contract.

"When you get a phone call from Kevin Sinfield, what are you going to do? You go: 'Frick, man - this is the G.O.A.T. of Super League'.[/i

We all know that the game needs to pull it's finger out to survive. For me, we need more former players involved at all levels. There's no doubting Kev's intelligence and passion for the club and the sport. For mine, he's what we need. He's not without fault since taking up the job, hut you can see he's developing. Get the right coach under him and I think we're on the brink of another successful period

Kev has become a nationally recognized figure and RU know this and even if nothing comes of this ,the RU are demonstrating they can cherry pick our people any time they want and leave RL anonymous. Our game has lost a number of high profile RL players who now talk RU and relate to that code as if it's their chosen sport . I .E Jason Robinson Andy Farrell ect.

If there isn't a statement today rubbishing this from the club or from Sinfield we will know there is something in this.

Or he doesnt deem it worthy of comment?

No that would just fuel the speculation.

I personally don't think Kevin would vote now ,because his job here is still unfulfilled

Thats what i think he has an unfinished job here.

We all remember the rumour years ago that he was bound for Warrington and their fans were saying " done deal " and Kev was saying nothing . When he did sign his new deal here he said " I didnt comment because I didnt want to give it credence "

Find it truly astounding people can not bat an eyelid about one of the biggest names in RL history in this country leaving for rugby union.

How is that not a truly monumental loss to rugby league and more importantly our club.

I've noticed that for whatever reason throughout Sinfield's career he's attracted a lot of 'haters' to use the modern parlance.

You even see it on here sometimes from our own supporters.

We need to keep the big names in our sport.

Ive requested a freebie for the Leicester v Bath game......

I'm not working out what Leicester will want Kev to actually do? I assume they would be keeping Steve Borthwick as DOR as he actually seems to be improving Leicester this season (although that's not hard as they were absolute rubbish last year). Kev would surely not be a front line coach? Although maybe that's it. Kev might see his future coaching in RU rather than "administration" in league. Leicester would be as good a place as any to start learning the job.

I agree with Bang, if he does go and it's basically a coaching position, it wouldn't look great for league.

such is the fickle nature of sport, previous God like heroes soon become villains and the target of hate, maybe Kev as seen some off the absolute vile drivel aimed at him on social media, telling him to go do one and the likes after a last minute drop goal loss to huddersfield and a patchy Win against Wakefield. If I had seen them maybe I would have just thought F**k this lot.

It's hard to imagine he was unaware of that sort of stuff through his playing days - the stresses of the 2011 season in particular would have been an eye opener for players who had got used to hero worship.
Sometimes the actions of our own fans do make me embarrassed but I imagine that's the case throughout elite sport, even in a relatively tranquil one like union.

When you say "social media" Rollin do you not mean idiots going up to him and telling him to his face? Oh it happens.

I

yep I bet it does.

pretty sure it was a small minority , Sir Kev will always be a legend at the Rhinos , it does not mean he will get everything right but not many know how he is working to get things better for us all and i think mistakes have been made but i still trust him to get us there in the end .

Interesting that Leicester said "no comment" when asked about Sinfield.

I hope Sinfield stays. He is an exceptional leader and person, and for me should be the next GH.

Nobody's perfect but I can't think of a better person to lead Leeds back to the good times - even if we don't build another 10-year dynasty we will get more right than wrong, and the club is actually more than just trophies.
