retire number 13 happens in NFL, a great way to honour a superstar and legend in my opinion, thoughts

Maybe for a year. But no. Kev is the greatest but we move into a new era and give someone else the chance.

Nope, not for me. The team goes on and Sinfield will be replaced. A missing shirt number is a poor mark of respect in any case. Rename a stand, put up a statue, rename one of the approach roads to the ground; all better IMO.

Not for mine either. I somehow doubt that Sinny would want that to happen either.

Bradford are the only team to do this in SL as far as I know - they retired the 21 shirt for a fair few years for Karl Fairbank but it seems to have come back into circulation more recently.

I can't find evidence of it anywhere but I can't get out of my head the thought that they retired a shirt after Peacock retired. Super League immortal Danny Peacock that is

I'm not in favour of this either,but I'm sure the club will have a surprise in store in which to permanently remember Sinny and Peacock

Nah I really hope we don't do this. As legendary as Peacock and Sinfield are, RL is a team game.
Somebody wore the 13 shirt before Sinfield and somebody will wear it after him.
I don't like the retiring the shirt thing, it's effectively saying that nobody will ever be as good as that player, which I don't think is a good thing to say to your team. I think you should use the shirts as a reward system. The best backrower gets the 13 shirt, the best prop the 10 shirt etc rather than effectively saying to up and coming props and backrowers that you're never going to be as good as them so don't even bother trying.

No way should we do this. Great as he was, players come and then they go. We move on.

I'd be happy to see this but understand why some are against it.
What i don't get is the tone of some of the posts i.e, "players come and go" or "Sinfield will be replaced"!!
Really is it that straight forward that we'll just "replace or he's the type of a player that will come and go" category?
Well imo that's wrong you don't replace the Clubs Greatest ever Captain and he certainly isn't just a player who'll come and go.
Yes the Team and Club will evolve but to describe Sinfields departure as above is playing down and to a point disrespectful towards his immense contribution to this Club as a player and as a Captain & the same goes for JP.
There's talk of a John Holmes statue and rightly so but for me there should also be a group one that includes Sinfield ,JP ,Mags ,Burrow ,Jjb & Kylie plus i'd go as far as renaming the SS after Sir Kev and or a Street.
It may seem over kill to some but this history those lads have created won't be repeated in a long long time if at all and i'd also like to see a lifetime tribute of some description to our winning Coaches with Mc.D at the forefront.

probably not the best idea i,ve ever had, Nfl teams have much more numbers to choose from and retiring a number i.e. FAVRES no4 has no direct correlation with the next and ever greater QB Rodgers who is no12 , renaming the new southstsnd when its rebuilt would be another idea already mooted i would agree with

Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure that Sir Kev and JP will be seen as all time Leeds greats. But it's early days to renaming streets and stands. IMO there is a reason why those types of honours are awarded after the passage of a little time (as you say there is TALK of a John Holmes statue). The delay allows the emotions of the now, time to settle and for a broader perspective to emerge of an individuals contribution in an historical context. I don't doubt that meaningful long term recognition will be awarded to KS & JP and rightly so, but maybe not just yet.

i sat in the Sir alex ferguson stand at OT renamed as he retired i think,
