The sceptic in me is again left scratching my head. A player who has provided great service to the game walks straight out of a pair of boots and into one of the top admin jobs in our game.

I suspect the answer to the above questions is nobody and no.
We need to try to bring the best people in the World in to support our game. Hopefully Sinfield is the best man for the job but with such little experience in his new role it will be a steep learning curve.
