A Super League Grand Final week is special for anyone but it is a uniquely special moment for Jack Sinfield. Sinfield is the son of Sir Kevin Sinfield MBE who is in the middle of his latest gruelling running endeavour, running seven ultra marathons in seven days stopping at all 12 English Super League clubs along the way. Kevin Sinfield has helped raise more than £11m for the MND community with his team since his first annual challenge in 2020.
He will finish his final challenge by coming out onto the Old Trafford pitch and delivering the match ball with his son, Jack, who will be gearing up to play in his first ever Super League final. Wakefield take on Warrington Wolves to make history and become the sixth-ever Super League winner, live on Sky Sports on Saturday October 3. All at once, the Wakefield man will have overwhelming pride in his dad, the nerves of the biggest moment of his career, and the pressure of trying to emulate all the wins on that hallowed turf that his dad pulled off with Leeds.
Jack Sinfield has been missing his dad while he has been away and knows you could not write the outcome that has happened with their journeys colliding at the Theatre of Dreams. "I've spoke to him (dad) a little bit, but obviously he's been really tired. I think I've said already that when he planned this last challenge and for it to finish at Old Trafford, I don't think even he could have imagined that I would be playing in it. So it's worked out pretty well," Jack Sinfield said.
