Plus, 100% of his achievements were made in RL. But you can bet your life that a substantial part of the RL community will grab any excuse not to vote for a rival team's (former) player.

Odds continue to lower with some bookies with him 7-8/1 with some now, comfortably ahead of Fury (roughly 25-1) and Hamilton as far back as 40-1 with some. 15p to vote, vote 10 times, that's only £1.50 to put a RL player in contention for even higher than 3rd place.

| If you're an RL fan then VOTE KEV. Simple as that. Imagine having an RL player as SPOTY?? (YES AN RL PLAYER NOT A UNION PLAYER. ALL THE VT'S THAT ARE BEEN FILMED ARE RL RELATED) The profile that will do for the sport will be immense! No 3"x3" column on the latter sports pages of the times...Back page Kevin Sinfield of the Northern game called Rugby League on the back page of every national newspaper....Not to mention getting one over Union again this year after their poor WC campaign. I'm not just saying this because its Kevin Sinfield. I would still urge everyone to vote even if it was Tomkins... RL is the bigger picture here.
I'll be voting all night. 100 times if time allows, and that will only be £15.

| There should be odds on how long it takes the BBC to ask Sinfield about his yawnion career.

| Well, the amount of lobbying from the Loiners to rally the “R.L. Family” into voting for Sinfield is thoroughly enjoyable .
We are the most myopic bunch of supporters in Christendom & I’m sure, if it was say Tomkins up for the award, the majority of Leeds fans would rather stick pins in their eyes than spend three bob promoting the game.

Wrong (where I'm concerned anyway and I guess for thousands of others). Though I'm an atheist so maybe I can't speak for the others you mention!

If Tomkins was as humble and thought more of his team as Sinfield did I would happily vote for him

I'd have no problem voting for Logan Tomkins if he got nominated, can't see that happening though
To be fair, Sam is halfway through his career. A better example would be Paul Wellens. A one club man that was right up there with Sinfield for appearances and representing what his club was all about. If he were nominated I wouldn't hesitate to vote for him.

Yep but it’s not about rewarding a player who’s had a glittering club career though is it.
It’s purely about the achievements of a sportsman/woman in 2015.
Has Sinfield had a stellar season this year, well not IMO, has he been a great servant to the Leeds club, for sure, but the award isn’t for career achievements.
But let’s be fair, it’s very rare that the winner plays in a team sport & the only time a Union player won was when England took the World Cup!
It’s a pure pipedream that Sinfield will win the thing, even though the Leeds fans are being swept along on a tide of dewy eyed emotion.

| You can vote for free with a BBC ID, I'll certainly be voting for Sinfield and Leeds aren't exactly one of the clubs I might have a soft spot for (despite battering the dobbins in the CC final ) but I respect the rugby they played this year and whatever the reason he was nominated for he's on the list so gets my vote and I normally wouldn't bother.
It'd be one in the eye for the establishment, a great coup for RL and whatever Sinfield might think about the whole process it'd be good for him too and a fitting culmination to his career.

I think you're right, but I reckon we can get him in the top 3 and on the stage.

Sinfield captained Leeds in a season they won every competition available to them. That is a pretty stellar season.
Id agree that Sinfield has played better, id even agree that he has been more important to leeds in some years, but there hasnt been a more successful year, and there hasnt been a year he has achieved more.
