You can't count Hardaker!

Sinfield was a passenger against us, you just can't afford to carry a half on the bench. Burrow or him had to get cut, right call for me, Burrow is more effective

You know we talk about Maguire and Burrow coming to the end of their careers yet neither of them look older than 22..!

From the off I see there is a thread 'Post Kevin Sinfield.'

All players have their day and it could be he has reached his.

Let's not forget this player has put in 500 appearances and it is apparently 15 years since he was not named on the Leeds starting line up according to Sky. So from that I imagine he was a somewhat useful player despite some of the criticism from the knockers on this board because he never played for the Wire.

Any player from any club deserves respect for stats like that. Wire or not it does not matter.

Lets not forget that it was his last minute penalty goal that stopped us from a first Grand Final appearance some years ago and he was, apparently, becoming a Wire some years ago rather than signing a contract extension at Leeds.

I think Leeds realise how important he is and are aware of their position in the league.

It seems to me that they are trying post Sir Kevin options so long as they sit pretty at the top.
Once they are stumbling too much, he will be drafted back in to address the balance.

Good tactic even if there is a little short term risk.

Perhaps we should take note for the the future in case we end up with another Briers senario. Something Leeds have learnt from us.
