Sinifield was an exceptional player throughout his RL career.
game as yet he has not shown a natural flair for administration and management and it could be that he does not have coaching ambitions. I'd say as ambassador for the RL and sport a fine example his new career still to prove his worth.


Id agree with your last point however the overhaul at Leeds is a huge task and one that was never going to be completed in 18 months, he has however shifted 18 players since 2018 so I would say its a work in progress and shouldn’t be judged solely on last year

I remember him not knowing where to sit or which dug out to use, quite unusual for DoR but, we'll bow to your intricate knowledge.
He was certainly on a very fast track form playing Union to DoR at Leeds, may be the elevation in position was a little too quick but, enough to get him back into RL ?


He was DOR for England from 2016, so didn’t jump straight into the Leeds role, it’s not about intricate knowledge its about basic fact checking, England have come very close to winning a World Cup and won a test series against the Kiwis whilst he was in his role so those calling him a flop are not taking that into account.

The GB tour has been a farce from strart to finish I will admit that

For balance

https://www.totalrl.com/sinfield-explai ... for-lions/

I totally disagree with Sinfield on this point

”Do we give a jersey away because someone has flown for 24 hours to get here, or do we give a jersey to someone who is the right man for the job?”

No Kev, you decide who’s playing before flying a player half way round the world for nothing.

But he does reiterate he has nothing to do with team selection

“ “I do not play a part in selection – I’ve never been in those selection meetings and I don’t think it’s fair to suggest I am. I never will be, too,”

It's on Wikipedia but I double checked and it on RL Project as well.

8) They both must have not got the memo that James Lowes had been moved up to full time coach with Kev suddenly appearing to be running the show. :wink:

Why get Handley out there? Total waste of a journey.

I don't know I'd say it's good experience in learning how to deal with disappointment, so not entirely a waste of a journey

He plays for Leeds, should be used to it by now.

Scandalous decision to fly Handley all that way just to gather splinters. He did well last season in a poor Leeds side so they should've give the lad a chance to show what he can do at international level instead of bizarrely persisting with a half back on the wing.

I'd sack Bennett for this alone.
