The 4 of Us 1,131 Report post 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 Quote http://www.wiganstpats.org Producing Players Since 1910 Share this post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wakefield Ram 834 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colin James 402 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Browny 7,200 Report post Posted December 5, 2020 Not many things have made me happy in 2020, but this has all week. 1 Quote 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.
