He is retiring at the end of the RU season - hopefully he can guide them to promotion

He's 72 years old.

Reading between the lines they want to build a new side and perhaps his age and only being able to do one more season doesn't fit into their longer term strategy.

He also said he had been on the go since November 2014 so maybe he is just knackered too

Rugby Union.

In all seriousness, I am led to believe this was his decision and not Carnegie wanting to let him go.

Do you think he will work for us? Could do with some more leaders in the dressing room

Re: Sinfield retires : Wed Apr 27, 2016 12:12 pm  

Whoever he works for going forward they will be recruiting a real asset into their organisation.

Re: Sinfield retires : Wed Apr 27, 2016 12:19 pm  

Job going at Super League, I understand........or maybe Toronto.

Wish him all the luck in whatever he decides to do next. I hope it's at Leeds in some capacity, or at the very least within the sport. As said above, he will be an asset to anybody, wherever he ends up.

Hopefully GH will have the sense to bring him in and mentor him, to replace himself going forward.
