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

"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'.

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.

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.

Re: Corporate Staff | Kevin Sinfield the target for Union? : Mon Jun 07, 2021 8:56 am  

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.
