Quote: Clearwing "A genuine "well done" to all those Wigan fans - and there must have been many - who cast a vote for the sport they care about.
One also to those who protected the "integrity" of SPOTY by not doing so. Double marks to those also not voting for Jeremy Vine in the dancing contest. I can only applaud your moral fibre regarding the issues that really matter.'"
Actually I doubt there would be that many. Once you add up all the Leeds 'fans' and all of the inhabitants of 'Yarkshire' who support everything and anyone linked to Gods Own County I doubt there'd be many voters left.
If there was a category entitled '"Which sport do you care most about?" then Rugby League would get my vote, but there isn't.
Sinfield is neither the greatest sportsman in Britain, nor is he the greatest player in Rugby League, so unfortunately he doesn't get my vote for SPOTY. As Man of Steel Hardaker surely qualifies to be in the argument. However as it is entitled Sports PERSONALITY of the Year, poor Zak loses out (probably on the same basis that Fury loses out - you understand this, being familiar with the 'moral fibre' argument).
