You don't think that a player who has often spoken of a desire to have a go at Union reached a point last August where he had literally achieved everything he could possibly achieve at Leeds decided it was time to move on? And that having done so he managed to reach a deal with a RU club (a Premiership club was never going to take him) where he probably knows the coaches etc, and certainly knows the way to the stadium and training ground?

I also think we may be jumping the gun by assuming he's finished. He was out injured and Sutcliffe, who is his anointed successor was given a chance and played very well. Leeds have then had a couple of tricky games where things have not gone so well. Sutcliffe has to learn from those too, so to yank him out of the side at the first sign of trouble isn't in the longer term interests of he club. It doesn't mean Sinfield can't have his place back ever.

I think the whole thing is a bit of a non-story.

Indeed. How I long for those halcyon days when the cash flowed freely on marquee signings like Richie Eyres and John Gallagher and Alan Tait. I can still recall the glinting of those trophies in the afternoon sun. As the opposing captain held them aloft.

Trouble with some posters on here is they think they are the only ones to live and support through those periods when that ain't quite the truth , many of us have and are not complaining about recent times we take the rough with the smooth , just in my opinion Sinfield has been treated badly from his 500th appearance onwards .

Alan Tait did some good stuff in Leeds colours.
