and he admitted after 2007 the main thanks should go to the work put in before he arrived

exactly. i don't remember Sinfield been rubbish before TS arrived. if i remember rightly he was already the captain

Since this seems to have been the last thing posted worth discussing, why would somebody with one arm need a motability scooter? His legs would presumably be fine, and you still need arms to steer a scooter......

You can drive a car with one arm, I've seen it happen.

People with all sorts of missing/dead limbs drive. I can drive if I want to.

FACT.

You can also be the drummer for a multi-million selling stadium rock band with one arm.

With regard to ridiculing the initial poster, you can also still walk perfectly well. FACT.

Wouldn't bother driving if I were you, it only increases your exposure to maniacs, and you can log onto this site for that. Plus you've got to be all sober and stuff.

You are ten million times more likely to be involved in a road traffic accident if you are in a car than if you are sat on your sofa at home.

That my little friends is a genuine, gold-plated factoid.

Who worked that out?

Some bloke from a University.

Wore a lab coat and had a massive research grant from the EU - the bloke, not the University. A University in a lab coat would just look stupid.

Yes, actually as far as the salary cap goes Briers has taken a pay cut. Any club with a player who has been there for more than 10 years can reduce the salary by half upto £50k.

But you can only do it for one player.

Not exactly true. A club can deduct half of a players salary up to a maximum of £50k for salary cap purposes. However, that rule applies across an entire squad, not per individual.

We at Leeds have 2 players already in that position, Sinfield and JJ-B, with Senior and Diskin to follow next season. Assuming all 4 players are still here we can still only deduct £50k, and not £200k (£50k per player).

We've only got briers for another 12 months so thats fine, the following year paul wood is eligible though I doubt he is on anywhere near £100k.

It's the amount that's restricted, not the number of players. Technically if you were only paying each player £10k per annum you could use it on 10 players.

and £50k is what Sinfield will be getting paid. i've said it once and i'll say it again, jog on

as far as the salary cap goes im expecting quite a few players to be leaving wire this season for example johnson to wigan and maybe even the rumours would be correct linking you lot with westwood i wouldnt want to lose westwood but if we were to get sinfield out of it then i believe ben harrison would be a great replacement for westwood would you lot be interested in westwood ?

Whatever the ins and outs at wire sinfield won't be involved in any move away from leeds and i'm surprised it's lasted this long.
Westwood was discussed in depth on here before he signed his new deal at your place.
I personally think he works very hard but is a liabillity and given our disciplinary record the last thing we need is another penalty machine.

but what you do want is some more players who work extremely hard and wear their heart on their sleaves. if we werent to get sinfield then we would really need myler as we have no half back options anymore especially with monaghan going back to his position at hooker

That's wire's problem fella not ours you won't be getting sinfield!!
We do have players who work hard and put their hearts into it and like i said the last thing we need right now is a penalty machine.

Not that bothered to be honest!! I think he ok!! I'm always a bit suprised when he gets a national call up? He's not a bad player but not as good as Ali, IMO JJB is better too and he's not so much better than ablett and kirke that I think god we need a player like Westwood, he's just a solid sl backrower.

As for entertaining it been part of any sinfield deal? Well it's just laughable to be honest!! Maybe matt king and carvell would be more realistic

Sorry for butting in on my way through...but its NOT "a village near Warrington". You know full well its part of Warrington, at the end of Wilderspool Causeway and between the Manchester Ship Canal and the Bridgewater Canal.

You won't find a single house owner in Stockton Heath who will admit to their home being in Warrington. You'll be lucky to find one that even acknowledges it's existence.

I sort of had a very good idea that was probably the case, hence my admittedly mischievous post!

Itv will be a sad loss for leeds if Sinfield leaves. He is our best 13, best 6, best kicker, regular top tackler, best organiser, best passer, unless injured full 80 minute player. He will be very difficult to replace.

Maybe not once the HMRC/RFL investigations are complete?

You've done a good job of winding them up on here, with them reading "moving to" as meaning "signing for".

I'll move on myself now...

I think there might be something to this rumour. Would lend weight to why the club have put feelers out for an international lock.
