Certainly cant see him playing again, but just wandered what influence he was having, if the rumour is true of course.

Assistant chief executive?

That's what I would think is the likely path. Head of development or some similar role which means he can be involved with players but isn't going down the coaching route. Do that for a few years with probably slightly different roles thrown in to get him experienced in the different aspects of the business side of the club.

As above He was /is a fantastic ambassador for the club. It would be a crying shame if this aspect alone was lost from the club. Think it would be something a master-stroke if he could combine an administrative role with a role similar to the one Dean Bell had with the academy.

Shame the timing didn't work out for him to take over from Barrie McDermott as Head of Youth Development, although it remains to be seen whether Simon Bell can help turn the ship around in that department.

Both Sinfield and JJB would make ideal mentors for the scholarship kids coming into the club. Who better to teach a 15/16 year old what it takes to be a professional RL player at the top level, and help them continue the culture they helped to perpetuate during a period of unparalleled success?

Yep. Exactly the people you want to instill the right attitude and level of professionalism into the young players.
