Got it right there no cricket and 1 or 2% Rugby League? It's probably been said before but with what little sport there is on the BBC you would think the Match of the day pundits would be up for it.

regardless of where he finishes in the final vote....he's in there representing RL and that should be celebrated and supported by the WHOLE RL family. He'll get my vote.

You are aware that 'personality' can be used to refer to a 'celebrity' or 'famous person', aren't you? It's not about how many funnies they can crack down the pub. I reckon Sinfield has a chance of making the top 3, and I hope he does.

Maybe be this "personality" issue is something for the future of the game as a whole....identify which club players are likely to be wheeled out in front of the tv cameras & coach them into the art of being a tv personality & not just at the time of BBC spoty.

I do wonder if players have media training. They do seem to say the usual stock phrases.

Remember the "I'd just like to thank Tissot fer watch"

Good luck to Sinfield. He's been the best captain and leader of a team in the Super League era by a country mile and his last season was his most successful, so this is a fully deserved nomination.

Obviously he's not as mainstream as people like Murray, Ennis-Hill etc in terms of public profile so he won't win, but I agree he has a chance of sneaking top three and I hope he does too.

tried to log on to vote, but wouldn't let me...
conspiracy??

I got the impression you could only vote on line during the programme.

Did not think much of the bite had in the show on BBC this morning.

He probably was not that hungry.

Sinfield is now clear 3rd favourite at around 8/1. And odds on to 'podium'

2nd place is a very good achievement for our sport.

Brilliant

Well done Kevin and all of rugby league

Fantastic result for a our sport. Yikes I voted for a Yorky, hopefully I will not have to relinquish my seat at the HJ although I do appreciate it might be a sin binning offence

Great that so many voted across all RL clubs, although he has always played for Leeds, he is Oldham born and bred so your seat is safe, cheers

That's actually a huge number. Especially considering the next one down has 200, 000 less votes. Well done Kev! Very well Deserved.

The whole of Scotland would have voted for Murray so Kev has done brilliantly! Shame some people had trouble with the phone voting, maybe he could of won had the voting been on longer?
We really do know how to stick together as a rugby family and I for one feel very proud. Lizzie singing as well topped it all off brilliantly.

Excellent result for a sport that gets only token recognition from free to air tv in contrast to a tennis player whose sport & personal career gets prime coverage.

Brilliant result for Sinfield. With that vote he would have walked it last year.

He was on BBC Radio 5 just now. Adrian Chiles clearly did not do his research. Numpty asked if he can still get around and whether the legs still work. Sinfield took it in good grace and explained he is playing RU ...

nice to see saints fans on twitter last night being..well....saints fans

You don't need working legs to play union.

Perhaps we'll get a rugby league question on 'Pointless' now.

My only ever Pointless answer was knowing Lote Tuqiri scored in the 2003 RWC Final.
