I misread the post Ithought it was going back to the earlier one implying that Peacock got awarded an mbe for 4 matches,sorry,but I have stated lets not get into a measuring contest there is a forum that does that down at the bottom.I reiterate If Adrian Morley had been awarde an medal I would have been delighted

Convicted fraudster Gerald Ronson has been given a CBE. Literally incredible.

Don't worry Wire fans Moran will just go buy him one next year. Just don't forget to show up because too much time was put into planning the tica-tape parade

Too many toys out of the pram on this one.

Peacock. Top player. Tons of medals. Conducts himself with dignity (most of the time). Does he deserve a gong? Course he does.

Sinfield, Morley have a similar cV. Will they get a gong? Hopefully.

ATEOTD, you can't give everyone a gong, who's acheived a lot, in our game. There aren't THAT many to start with (who have been given one).

On the broader issue of gongs and their relevance. Of course they are relevant. They indicate achievement/people who have contributed to society/charity. It's only a few letters after someone's name. Too many knickers in twists for my money.

Colin Welland said it best about Brian Bevan (from his unveiling of Bev's statue speech think)

(Roughly)"If he was a footballer he would have recieved an MBE, If he was a cricketer he would have been Knighted, he was neither, he was a Rugby League player so recieved nothing."



to be honest the honours list means nothing to me, I know very little of the people given the letters.....and even less about why they deserve them. its on a par with the BBC sports personality of the year

anyway so many dicks and nobs are knighted obe'd cbe'd and mbe'd it seems an honour to be missed out these days...

I am led to believe that you have to be nominated,and the nomitator actually asked Sinfield ,but due to his socialist politics he politely Refused

I think to see our players get more honours the profile of our great game needs a shot in the arm ,as follows...

Eddie & Stevo could start calling each other "darling"

Ganson could address the video ref as "dear boy" when asking for the grounding to be checked

After match interviews...the players could deliver Shakesperian speeches as to why their team won or lost. This could be done for better effect with the players holding a cigarette holder in one hand & a G&T in the other.

Challenge Cup Final to be played in the West End with all supporters in full evening dress .

Grand Final...Get Andrew Lloyd Webber do it as a Broadway musical.

I am sure we would soon get some knighthoods for our players.

excellent

Jamie Peacock delivering the highlighted would surely break so many laws of science it would inevitably cause the world to implode. Although it would make for an extremely hilarious last couple of minutes on this earth.

Chuck Norris would school him on how to do this, and bend light.

This thread is a great advert for the Headingley South Stand.

Actually apart from his west Leeds/Bramley accent he is reputed to be a wellread bloke with a good degree of intellect,but he does sound like he plays darts n doms for the Half way house in Stanningley

No not at all ,but THE SOUTHSTAND YES

At the end of the day Moz has not done much at international level, whereas Peacock has shown that British bulldog spirit, obviously recognised in more ways than one by people who matter.
