I'm not working out what Leicester will want Kev to actually do? I assume they would be keeping Steve Borthwick as DOR as he actually seems to be improving Leicester this season (although that's not hard as they were absolute rubbish last year). Kev would surely not be a front line coach? Although maybe that's it. Kev might see his future coaching in RU rather than "administration" in league. Leicester would be as good a place as any to start learning the job.

I agree with Bang, if he does go and it's basically a coaching position, it wouldn't look great for league.

such is the fickle nature of sport, previous God like heroes soon become villains and the target of hate, maybe Kev as seen some off the absolute vile drivel aimed at him on social media, telling him to go do one and the likes after a last minute drop goal loss to huddersfield and a patchy Win against Wakefield. If I had seen them maybe I would have just thought F**k this lot.

It's hard to imagine he was unaware of that sort of stuff through his playing days - the stresses of the 2011 season in particular would have been an eye opener for players who had got used to hero worship.
Sometimes the actions of our own fans do make me embarrassed but I imagine that's the case throughout elite sport, even in a relatively tranquil one like union.

When you say "social media" Rollin do you not mean idiots going up to him and telling him to his face? Oh it happens.

pretty sure it was a small minority , Sir Kev will always be a legend at the Rhinos , it does not mean he will get everything right but not many know how he is working to get things better for us all and i think mistakes have been made but i still trust him to get us there in the end .

Interesting that Leicester said "no comment" when asked about Sinfield.

I hope Sinfield stays. He is an exceptional leader and person, and for me should be the next GH.

Nobody's perfect but I can't think of a better person to lead Leeds back to the good times - even if we don't build another 10-year dynasty we will get more right than wrong, and the club is actually more than just trophies.
