Over the years I have been a bit cautious about Sinny's attitude with referees.

We have seen many great captains in SL not be afraid of speaking well with the referee but argueing their point to the full. Too many times in the past Kev has backed down and accepted what the ref has said even if it was clearly wrong.

I know I may get comments on this but I would like to thank Kev for showing that although he may be very polite and a well spoken captain, that no longer will we just accept calls and wrong penalties going against us without the ref having to well and truely justify them.

Obviously last night Kev didnt agree with Bentham and was quite clear in his approach. But not once was the dummy spat out.

He did state that things were not the "same for both sides"

what a load of rubbish. the man was a disgrace, , along with mcguire and diskin. whinging at every decision, at which most were correct. when bentham sent fox off, you didn't see him complaining . he took the decision and walked off, like a true sportsman. sinfields behaviour is more like that of afootballer. we don't want that in our game. it sets a terrible example for younger players and is a bad advert for rugby league.. he should have had 10 mins for descent .

Fox stood there looking bemused even after a blatant professional foul.

Jeez,how high up was he?

Wasn't having any of that last night was he

......

"it's the same for both sides Kev"
"It's not" and just walked off

Poor show, Sinny.

I believe if you check the RL by-laws, it states that any Captain winning three Grand Finals is promoted to the rank of 'Super-Captain' and with that rank goes the privilege of questioning any and all decision as he sees fit.

Think I heard Sinny somehwere say during his conversation. Am I not Captain, thus am I not allowed to talk to you - to which Bentham replied yes you can (so Sinny was just joining the ranks of other captains in the past ala Joynt, Sculthorpe, Farrell, Deacon etc etc)

Thought Sinfield had a good game last night.
Great kick from near touch after Bailey had left the field, to effectively make the game safe, and intelligent enough to slot over a '1 pointer' at the end.

Give over! - Dummy seems well out.

Look at the game again. Sinfield was questioning decisions in a positive manner as he is allowed to do as captain.

Rather have captains questioning decisions and giving positive feedback to his team rahter than the situ like headingley last year where Ganson wouldnt allow decisions to be questioned, the players got frustrated and Scruton spear tackled Cunningham.

I'm glad he was talking to the ref.

He did say something like "I'm captain can I not talk to you then? I thought rules were the same for both sides?" when the ref said they are he just no they're not.

Top lad

Sinfield has been utterly wreckless in encouraging the RL ref-bashing culture. I had come to expect better of him.

If the captain didn't question decisions I'd see them as very disinterested. Sinfield has every right to question decisions and rightly so. Also thoughthe had a very good game especially in defence.

Damn straight. Am I right in thinking he came up with two one-on-one ball steals?

The problem is refs will make mistakes - how often do you ever here them say I got it wrong?

Respect has to flow both ways - and when they get it wrong the refs should stick their hand up and change the decision.

On the offside Benthem was taking them back 12 metres and then penalising them for offside. Is the rule 10 metres or in line with the ref?

just caught Bluey's post match interview , he thought we were being asked to go back a big 10 metres.

kev also played very well last night .

Was a good game from a neutral point of view but diskin and mcguire need to stop lashing out at the ref, they do my head in

I personally thought KR were milking the penalties at every occasion. Every tackle theywere wriggling around claiming they were being held down! Its just like diving in football!

Kevin Sinfield had absolutely nothing to be proud of last night. Do you think he set a good example to his players and to the younger Rhinos fans? definitely not in my opinion. Seems quite ironic that when you went in front he had nothing to complain about.

Rugby League was never intended to be played in this manner. Ive been binned for looking at a ref funny! i know im ugly but come on, Sinfield was wagging his finger in Benthems face. NO PLAYER has the right to do that. not even the captian.

Overall, in my opinion, a very average performance by an average player.

Because average players captain thier sides to 3 Super league titles and 2 world club championships!! Also one of the all time point scorers at leeds!! Well i think we'll just keep a hold of our average captain!

Did anyone hear his convo with Bentham while Bailey was down? He explained himself and said that he wasnt having a go in the first half, its just how he expresses himself. Bentham replied with... "I know Kev but you have to understand that they (the supporters) cant hear what you are saying and can only see you pointing and having a go"

Then SKY turned the sound off

Mate, hes 11 posts old and is obviously trying to get a bite. Look for the signs.
