You of course work for nothing.
Come back when you've had a career like Sinfield, then we may listen.

Why would he want to play in front of small crowds in a slow dreary game!
I thought he would have just moved onto coaching.

Because it will prolong his career & he's always said that he'd like to give it a shot?

can't blame him for wanting to protect his body and earn a decent living for another 3/4 years. He owes RL nothing...good luck to him and all the best. Model Pro.

Don't know about that, he did cost England a place in the World Cup final.......

A true gent in Rugby League won't miss him as a Saints fan but RL will miss him.

Poor Attempt

I don't post much but this calls for a comment.

Gutted.. so gutted.... I can appreciate that this gives him more time on the field playing yawnian and allow him to earn more for longer but I am still gutted.

Sutcliffe is a great prospect but I hope Kev is going to train him on kicking really hard as it need some refining.

Its the end of another Leeds era.

It will be the end of an era, and very strange to be thinking of a Leeds team without him (and JP).

That said, I personally think the time is right, and I'm glad he has made the decision he has. I would have hated to see him go on for longer than he should, and it's already clear that he isn't anywhere near his own exceptionally high standards.

Time now for the club, the fans, and the city itself to find a way to celebrate his career, recognise his contribution and honour his legacy. He deserves the very best send off from us as a thank you for all the wonderful memories he has given us.

That is a shock and a shame for your club. What a player he has been for you over the years and you'll certainly miss him lots.

Shame on you

Sad to hear of him leaving the game of rugby league,
and going to rugby union.
fantastic player, and professional.
Good luck in his new quest.

Well the one good thing is that he's not moving away and he's playing for Carnegie and will still be around Headingley and Kirkstall and as he says in the interview on the Rhinos site, if those young guys ever want to come to him for advice or anything he's still going to be nearby for that.

Sinfield and Peacock going together.....don't know what the final home game of the season will be but can see it being a monster attendance to see these two guys for the final time, maybe the first 20,000+ gate in the league since Bradford's glory days,

Does nobody else think this is a strange move?

Granted he will be on good money, and fair dos as he has no doubt passed on more lucrative opportunities to stay at Leeds over the years.

However, in 18 months he won't do much in union. His kicking isn't up to it at fly half, he isn't quick enough for the backs or big/skilled enough for the forwards.

He has earnt the right to do as he pleases in the twilight of his career but to me this will be a slow sad end to a wonderful career.

Hasn't he spent most of his career with the too slow not big enough argument? He hasn't done too bad considering!

Good luck from a Wakefield fan, been a credit to both the Leeds club and the game overall.
