Welshleaguelover Posted June 12 Posted June 12 When you see some of the shower that get these honours you think Sinfield is far too good to be associated with them. Still, if he's happy with it then I'm happy for him. 3 2

An honour richly deserved, a recognition rightly due. Edited June 12 by JohnM 8 Q: When will we know that 14 clubs is working for Super League? A. Before we can answer that, we need to know what the move was meant to achieve. Seemingly, no one knows,
Just Browny Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Congratulations, richly deserved. Best part is that we wont have to put up with any more 'Sinfield snubbed again' articles/threads. 4 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.

Dunbar Posted June 12 Posted June 12 I will premise my comment by saying that I have no particular interest in the honours system. But if anyone deserves public recognition for what he has done, it is Sinfield. I do not know him but he comes across as a genuinely wonderful guy and a great friend. 7 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Expatknight Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Richly deserved, the guy is an absolute legend in every meaning of the word and humble with it, what a truly inspirational role model for all of us. 1
Tommygilf Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Long overdue. The country recognising officially what the people have known for years. 2
Gooleboy Posted June 12 Posted June 12 I am not a fan of the honours system, but on this occasion it is thoroughly well deserved. 1 1
M j M Posted June 12 Author Posted June 12 To think, "Sir Kevin Sinfield" was just something Leeds fans used to sing as a bit of a joke during his playing career. 1
Josef K Posted June 12 Posted June 12 There is a u**** fan where i work, he’s a pen pusher in the office, i try to avoid/ignore him. He said ‘Sinfield wouldn’t have got knighted if he had remained in RL’. I said ‘listen Tarquin i couldn’t give a flip about the knighthood. I definitely don’t care less about your shitz crazy idea it was U**** that got it for him. 1

Sinfield has kept on with his fundraising year after year and is now over £11 million. They just can’t ignore that.
Pulga Posted June 12 Posted June 12 I don't think there's anything that exemplifies the the English class (caste) system today than how long this has taken. If you live outside of England it's unbelievably strange. 1
