Whats funny?

cartman is a saint

You can't argue with the opinion of a legend of that stature can you

Yes.

It's still only his opinion, much as those carried by the likes of Schofield, Clarke, O'Connor, McDermott, Carney etc are just theirs. What someone did on the field doesn't necessarily make them a great judge of talent on it. Stevo won a World Cup FFS, does that make his opinion better than anyone elses?

Yes it does.

There's opinion and there's expert opinion. I can give my opinion on quantum physics but I know fekk all about it.

If Wally Lewis has heard of him does that mean he's passed the "Wally Lewis test"?

Wally Lewis was clueless at coaching level. I'd take his opinion with a pinch of salt.

So your saying that a legend of this great game of ours doesn't know a good/great player when he see's one , just because he wasn't a success at coaching
Ask Brian Mclenan (Who was the coach of the WORLD CHAMP KIWI'S)whether he thinks his captain is a good player, I think you might find the answer is YES!!!!

I'd hazard a bet if you asked "How good is Kevin Sinfield?" to every coach in SL and NRL, you'd get similar answers. But Cartman and tinyrod know best.

Well who do they coach then ? NOBODY !!!!!!

I think he was being sarcastic!

I nicked this from the saints board


I couldn't resist! It's been making me chuckle since I read it




we lose by 30? It's sini's fault

Does he not know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit

FWIW I agree with him. Sinfield was excellent at dummy half and we lost something when he wasn't playing there.

A slight case of watching a game with tinted specs , I think
(Saints stained one's)

Not really. The poster isent calling Sinfield. He is saying that England and Sinfield played better when he was at Hooker. Sam Burgess was a stand out at LF.

Maybe the forehead could ask the king how to pass a ball. Especially from left to right

maybe the saints squad could get him to tell them how not to bottle grand finals

Sinfield's problems at hooker come from the fact he doesn't play there all the time. I'd fully expect a part-time hooker to occasionally fluff quickly picking the ball off the ground and passing it. If he were an Aussie, he'd almost certainly be a hooker - there are no loose forwards like him in the NRL and he's too slow for a stand off. You'll never see an Aussie rep side needing a fourth 'ball handler' beyond 6,7 and 9.

I do think that he has a 'rugby brain', unlike far too many of our players (including a lot of our halfbacks), and if I were the England coach I'd simply tell him to keep practising the hooking role because that's where he'll play.

I'm glad he's starting to feel at home for England.

I prefer that system, too many cooks with an organising 13, had sinfield developed as a 9 at club level with a Burgess type at 13 what could this have done for Mcguires development??

Ask Scott Donald, or the any of the Cats team who played in the GF semi if Sinfield can pass to his right.

In terms of the development of Burrow and McGuire it's hard to say. My imprerssion is that they don't play as a pair of halfbacks at all, more like a left and right side stand off with Sinfield somewhere in the middle. It should surprise absolutely no one if in that event they struggle to look composed under pressure on what for them at club level is the 'wrong' side of the pitch. What works for Leeds is fine. Just won't work for GB/England.

I think Brisbane is the smartest contributor to this site - very astute posting.

Perhaps G1 and his butt plug should take note.
