The BBC have put Sir Kev on their shortlist for 2015 sports personality of year away





Incredible achievement

Only cos he's playing Union now.

True. A fitting tribute to our greatest ever player.



Come on people, vote vote vote!

Or because Clare Balding was announcing the nominees.....he's always been her bit of rough





Club announcement says that the majority of the Leeds squad and McDermott will be attending the event so I imagine they'll be highlighted at some point in the show.

Leeds could have been team of the year if it wasn't for Andy Murray.....sorry the GB Davies Cup team....

Nah, it would have been the English cricket team for the spectacular ashes win, or England football team for going unbeaten in the tricky Euro qualification group, or even England RU for their brave exit from the WC

Well the photo the BBC have used on their shortlist montage is of him wearing a union shirt.

Just some recent vote totals for the top 3

Really nice tribute to Kev in .... the Telegraph

Well, can't say any fairer than that

That tribute comes from the same journo who tweeted over the weekend "Well done Jamie Vardy, you massive racist".



So not shy on offering an opinion then

With my Rhinos hat on I'd love Kev to win. But in terms of achievement this you can't really top beating Wladimir Klitschko in Germany to become the unified, linear and undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world. Fury should probably win.
