Legend Robinson fury over 'Sir Kev' snub as league's 130-year wait for knighthood goes on... while union has nine

- DAVE CRAVEN

DUAL-CODE legend Jason Robinson blasted rugby league's knighthood snub and angrily said: "It's ridiculous."

There has been an outcry - not only across the sport, but the wider public that Kevin Sinfield did not receive the honour in the King's New Year's list.

The inspirational ex-Leeds and England captain has raised more than £10million for the MND community with his remarkable running feats in aid of late pal Rob Burrow.

Sinfield, 44, did receive the CBE in 2023, along with former Rhinos team-mate Burrow, who sadly died from MND in June.

However, there has been no honours upgrade, a decision that has left many fuming.

But there hasn't been a single knighthood throughout rugby league's entire 130-year history.

In that time, most sports have been honoured.
