Prince of Wales presents CBE's to Kev & Rob

[Tigers86asw]

Reported in Daily Mail that Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrows are rumoured to be honoured in the King's New Year Honours list. If true, and I sincerely hope it is, it's about time! I had no idea that last week Lord Sinfield finished running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days finishing in front of Buckingham Palace. He has raised £8million for MND. Hero.

Article in today's Times arguing the point many of us have made: 2 knighthoods for Bill Beaumont and none for Kev seems a travesty.

The Honours system is a fiasco, always rewarding top civil servants for just doing their extremely well paid day jobs and mostly ignoring the folks who volunteer and do a great job in their own time. Should have been Sir Kev, but there is still time.

Mostly rewards status and nepotism far more than contribution.
