What is the plan?

Ferris wasn't planned and neither was Segeyaro both were just a fortune of circumstance. So what was the plan for 2016 because whatever it was it didn't work so who is responsible for that? I doubt it was Peacock and Sinfield!!

Perhaps GH would have done well not to fall out with his captain and then only Peacock would have retired in 2015 but the CEO has a plan.

Sorry Sal can you bring me up to speed on the GH Sinfield fall out? I must have missed that.

They fell out so badly that Sinfield was allowed to finish his Rhinos career a year early at its absolute zenith & move to the sister club Yorkshire Carnegie to have a 12 month crack at RU.
But I'm sure SP & WE can twist that with yet more negative spin.

Don't expect a reply on that, at least not a truthful one anyway and definitely not one that's backed up with any evidence.
Now you've called him out on his bull, you'll be subjected to days, weeks or maybe months on end of abuse from him and his girlfriends.

Good luck!

It was an honest question. But I could not give a $hit who comes after me on an internet forum.

My understanding is as follows:

Sinfield was discussing his future with GH and suggested his future was more in sports admin than in coaching and his ideal job would be CEO of Leeds Rhinos. GH took umbridge and the two fell out.

Soon after Sinfield was at a press conference saying how much he wanted to play RU!!

Since his retirement has he been seen at Leeds - no - very strange for a club that prides itself on looking after players who have been loyal to the club - read into that what you will. You would have thought he would be an ideal person to support the side during the dark days of 2016?

It was announced he was off well before 2015 unfolded as it did so he could easily have finished as 2014 did. If you think GH was happy about it ask why him and McGeechan haven't spoken since?

Last December's floods provided the ideal chance for GH to dispose of the body! Why didn't I see it before??

Didn't Sinfield quit the sister Union club early too?

He originally signed an 18 month contract with them.

Said he wanted to quit early in order to get a proper job

I'll let you decide whether my response is factual or negative spin

Pretty much everybody has known for maybe 3/4/5 years that Sinfield wasn't interested in coaching and his preference was sports admin. GH will have known this better and earlier than anyone else so I hardly think he took umbridge at the start of 2015.

He did come out earlier in the year and back them to bounce back. Not sure exactly what you want him to do? The club has to move on and not keep returning to him whenever they hit trouble and Sinfield himself probably wants to step away from the comfort zone of Headingley.
