The 4 of Us 1,140 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 BBC stepping up again for Robbie Burrows once again and Kevin Sinfield showing he’s a leader off as well as on the pitch. Already surpassing his target and he’ll only be finishing his first around about now. https://justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sinfield-7-in-7?fbclid=IwAR31jToViX7mRNGo3Lg7rNb5LvK2UpesbY6Exow5O2FhAMIjRekqfRlbtNk 2 http://www.wiganstpats.org Producing Players Since 1910 Link to post Share on other sites

Doing them all sub-4 is pretty impressive though, particularly for an ex-RL pro who's carrying round rather more upper body muscle than your typical marathon runner. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JonM 3,137 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Having said that his times for the first two days were a bit too fast, I see he's done a 3:25 today. Link to post Share on other sites

Cumbrian Fanatic 1,455 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just been on breakfast news again, also showing the Rob Burrow mural and speaking to someone from Leeds City council about it.

Wakefield Ram 894 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I've run a few marathons, but what Kevin Sinfield is doing and the times he's running are just incredible. It can take weeks to fully recover from running just one marathon. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Colin James 403 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I hope seeing himself called 'Burrows' doesn't annoy Rob Burrow as much as it is starting to annoy me. Awesome effort from Sinfield. He must be fitter than some current SL players even a few years after retiring. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Just Browny 7,518 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Not many things have made me happy in 2020, but this has all week. 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
