The only thing less taxing than Rugby Yawnion is playing tiddlywinks (which he could still do with the other backs whilst he is waiting for the forwards to stop writhing on the floor, sexually molesting each other)

Good luck to him.



I hope he comes back to RL once his playing days are done, in whatever capacity. Our sport needs to keep people like him involved.

Yeah, I'd echo that. Sinfield has been a great servant to the game, and we wouldn't want to lose him permanently.



Short-term, I agree he doesn't owe anyone anything.

I think the word to describe my reaction to this is "guffaw".





That aside, I don't really see where he would fit in a RU team. A strange one, but hopefully good for his pension.



Still, it was the headline sports bulletin on the News At One. Oh yes, I forgot, it involves RU.

Interesting for his develeopment as a coach I reckon.

I am a bit surprised he isn't having one last year at Rhino's in 2016. He obviously would prefer that but I bet he has been told he would get less game time next year if he stayed. I bet Leeds have one hell of a signing lined up to replace him. Wasn't GH on a shopping trip down under recently ?

He is retiring a 100% legend.



Stop spouting nonsense.

Totally agree, he is one of those players that is special to our sport and its a shame he is gonna finish off his career in union. He could have retired now and had a massive send off from everyone in the RL community but now, when he retires in a couple of years at a tier 2 union side, it probably wont get too big a mention...

He'll be on the bench for the World Cup opener later in the year....they need an injection of 'pace'.

Certainly not the one of the best players to play in SL, but certainly the most important and massive part in why Leeds have been so successful. Huge loss to Leeds and the game and others have stated I hope he returns to the game as he is the type of person we want involved in the game.

You'd think the Yawnion folks would be slightly embarrassed that a rugby league player at the end of his career could walk into the first team of any of their clubs and do extremely well.

Is he not allowed a send off at the end of this year then? You'd better tell the Rhinos fans & club, before they start organising things.
