Tony Smith has paid a rich tribute to “amazing human being” Kevin Sinfield following his remarkable fundraising exploits to help support Rob Burrow.
Smith was head coach of Leeds Rhinos when Sinfield skippered the Headingley giants to victory over Bradford Bulls in the 2004 Grand Final.
It was Leeds’ first title success in 32 years and laid the platform for a period of sustained dominance, with Sinfield going to skipper them to seven Grand Final victories and Burrow ending his glorious career in 2017 with an eighth winners’ ring.
