I think you are being unfair on him as a player. He wasn't the most talented but he made up for that with his determination and his mental strength. He was a winner and I am certain Leeds wouldn't have been as successful without him.

He always talked a good game about respect for the opposition and referees etc. But he rarely came across as genuine imo. I think he is a very selfish and cut throat person. That's not necessarily a bad thing in sport, but I can imagine a lot of players not getting on with him.

Think he use to be fine but along with some other players of our golden period they’ve had so much smoke blown up their backsides and they’ve bought into the lie created by anti-McDermott Leeds fans that it was all down to the players and haven’t appreciated the huge roles GH, McDermott, McClennen and Smith had in our success.

Interesting that earlier this year Danny McGuire said that Leeds have for a while now been a player led club....well if that was the case when Sinfield was captain he can’t complain about culture & ethos and when players he wants rid of won’t play for him or his choice of coach. He and other senior players apparently more than had their say in the departures of Smith and McClennen.

Utter nonsense.

Hes doing a great job, whats the problem ???

I have seen some ridiculous threads on here but never as many made up stories , untruths and possible libelous accusations .

Its usually always a bad sign when a club employs a "Director of Rugby", Jamie Peacock was one but didn't last long, maybe Sinfield will still have the job whilst everything is falling down around him.

Such an over rated player bar goal kicking.

JP let them teams and Maguire and Burrow made them tick.

Seems to terrible in his current role too.

Christ, if Sinfield was average and overrated, what does that make the likes of O'Louglin and Wellens?

I don't get why so many are making out that it's just Sinfield fault, The fault with Leeds is totality collective Board,Coach,Players it's not all Sinfield fault there have not replaced with quality players with the likes of Peacock,Maguire,Burrows,Hall,Ali,Leuluai,Maybe now there do it's just a matter of how long will it take to get that quality back in a leeds shirt.
I'm not one to ravel in the situation leeds find there self in because as a Wakefield fan we have got all the T-shirts on that one.


Up The Trin

Some yrs ago we hull kr had the same problem I am on about the 80s all our good players grew old together and they was not replaced has daft has that seems we are still suffering today

Yes but it was his job to get a smooth transition from the loss of those players, its not as though they left all at once to make his job harder. Most other clubs like Warrington, Wigan and St Helens have managed transitions and yet have still kept competitive. Leeds have fallen off a cliff and Sinfield needs to take some of the blame which he has accepted, but the real question: is he up to the job, and will every Leeds Coach have to accept some loss of control and the interference that comes with it.

Except they didn't did they.
Burrow and McGuire were great but Sinfield organised play while they ran the ball. It's only later in his career that McGuire picked up in that area.

I'm sure Peacock was an inspiration but he himself says Sinfield was a great leader.

Another one of these posts from people who think they are in the know, listened to a load of rumours and pure hearsay and think they have the fingers n the pulse.
Blokes been in the job less than a year, but yeah it's all his fault he must be ruining the club.

If some sponsers want to withdraw support because of a bad run then let them go, dont have them back when things are on the up or charge them double.
The same idiots that what Sinfield out are the same idiots who want Hetherington out.
