| Unlike many Wakey fans I do not dislike Leeds (I actually come from Leeds) think that Sinfield is a credit to the game. Phil is right, it should be a lifetime achievement award he is getting not SPOTY.
That being said I will be voting for him and hope he wins it for the game.

| What the hells going on . K'S a credit to the game and like it or not the Leeds teams achievements should be celebrated in a sport that gets very little national coverage. His attitude commitment and professional approach should be an example to all younger players.
We will never know if he could have produced the goods in a less fashionable club but honestly who cares. He's a product along with others in a club with a great culture and pride. .

| Quote: Redscat "You couldn't pick up a newspaper a few weeks ago without reading double page spreads stating that Sinfield, Peacock and Leulalai had retired. It was as if an RL player had never retired before. I agree with Stevie, would they have achieved similar stature in the game if they'd played with Widnes , Salford or Trinity?'"
If any of the three clubs you mentioned had the success of Leeds over the past decade or so then they might have. For a sport that's largely ignored by the wider general public it's a fantastic achievement just to be nominated. I'm hoping there is going to be plenty of sinister voting patterns emerging from the north of England over the course of the show.

| He's representing my sport , the one that gets frigg all media exposure I will be voting for him. If a miracle happens and he actually wins it , he will be the first to say this is for rugby league. For all his refeering faults over the years, you have to admire his will to win...

| He'll get my vote too and I wonder how many of the people watching who follow tennis and F1 for instance are actually aware of our great sport. What better platform to send out the message that we are here and look what we have.

| I'll vote for him because it'll be good for the sport's profile to see him featured. I won't be fuelling the ego of any Leeds supporters I know by admitting it though.

| Even though in my earlier post I may have seemed rather negative regards KS, I have to admit he has been a credit to our great game and deserves any accolades that may come his way. It's just the sycophantic way that the press and media drool over Leeds Rhinos, as though there is no other club in the game. Anything that puts forward RL in a positive way will do for me. So hope you get your SPOTY trophy Kevin.

| He's had a great career has Sinfield, and gone out with a fantastic treble, but there's more worthy people on the list this year in my opinion. Like someone else has said, the Lifetime Achievement award would be more fitting. Tyson Fury gets my vote.

| Tyson Fury shouldn't even be on the list in my view - he's hardly an ambassador or a role model, given his abhorrent views on women and sexuality.
A vote for Sinfield is in many ways a wasted vote, because he doesn't have a chance of winning it, but it will send a strong message if he gets a lot of support. And club bias aside, he's had a fantastic career and conducts himself like a model pro - any kids wanting to make a go of professional sport could do much worse than follow his example; he is perhaps a good illustration of the fact that hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.
Ennis-Hill is my pick - her achievements are amazing and she's done wonders for women, not just in sport but in general - in a world awash with very negative female role models (Kardashians, reality tv tartlets, half-naked pop stars) she's a breath of fresh air.

And she's got a decent pair of tits.

| I'll vote for Kev. Great year for him.
I understand why people wouldn't vote for fury, but personally if KS wasn't in there I probably would do. Completely disagree with his views on women and homesexuality but we are entitled to free speech and this is a sporting competition after all.

It wouldn't be a wasted vote by the looks of it.
Murray - Evens
Ennis-Hill - 2/1
Sinfield - 6/1
Fury - 14/1
Hamilton - 33/1
Is roughly what the various bookies have it at the moment. Sinfield was around 33/1 shortly after the nominees were announced and he's odds have lowered all the time. Even Murray and Ennis-Hill's odds which started out really odds on strong favourites have gone backwards.
