Autumn Internationals: Kevin Sinfield attempts to strike gold for Leeds Rhinos

Ten years ago Kevin Sinfield would have been forgiven for fearing he would never strike gold, but a chance meeting with Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley set the wheels in motion for the Leeds Rhinos captain to try to get his hands on precious metal at Wembley on Saturday.

I look back now and think it happened for a reason. Perhaps at the start I needed lows to help me along the way. At the time it was the most difficult thing to have happened to me in my life. Looking back and putting it into perspective helped me as a rugby player and a person. You learn so much from the bad times as well as the good ones.

There are whole arrays of different things that have happened to me such as losing Challenge Cup final and Grand Finals but that’s part and parcel of sport, Sinfield said.

Since Murrayfield, Sinfield, 29, has inspired Leeds to four Super League Grand Final successes and two World Club Challenge titles but the Challenge Cup has remained beyond his grasp.

Many have bounced back and done equally good if not better things. The response from rugby league players in general when they have faced adversity is very positive.

They are difficult times but you have to be resilient and prove people wrong. When you are not picked you tend to question yourself more. But do not get me wrong I am not unique. This happens to rugby league players all the time.

I believe everything happens for a reason and for whatever reason I have not been able to get my hands on the Challenge Cup and we will perform as well as we can to put that right but if it does not happen for whatever reason, he said before trailing off. I live my life like that. Things happen. Circumstances appear and opportunities happen because they are supposed to.

I understand why people say it is the missing piece in the jigsaw and I am aware of what the fans think because they tell me every time they see me but the important thing is that we focus on the game because if we take our focus off we will be beaten, Sinfield said.

That philosophy is probably something drilled into me since I became a professional because the life as a sportsman is very much a roller coaster. You have fantastic moments you would not even dream about but there are real low moments when you think.
