I've just noticed next game is Sinfields 500th appearance if he is selected, I wonder if the club are to make a presentation or leave it till the final home fixture? He will of course wear a special 500 app shirt

I'm sure that if he's selected to start next week then the conspicary theory brigade on here (of whice we have several members of) will say it's because it's his 500th appearance and that the club didn't want him to start that landmark on the bench.

On the subject of Sinfield and landmarks and him still kicking. He's now just 22 points away from Gus Risman who is 3rd in the all time list, his only real points landmark left to pass in his time left.

You would have to be a hard man not to start Sinfield on his 500th game. He has give a lot to the club and he deserves at least that.

If he does start the directive should be to stop him interfering in the half back play otherwise the fluidity it is developing will be lost

What difference does it make if he starts or on bench? He still makes his 500th appearance when he comes on the pitch.

As long as when on pitch he kicks the goals, as that is the right thing to do as the best kicker.

Personally I think quite a bit. Something distinctly odd about having a captain who is only the field a limited amount of the time. Especially at the start when you are trying to achieve dominance and set a platform for the rest of the game? What is the point of him being the captain? He didn't look over pleased on Friday to be leading the team out and then not starting.

It reminds me of Harry Pilling the Lancashire cricketer who came out to toss the coin in his testimonial game against Yorkshire but played no further part in the game as he was selected.
