Play him at prop

According to another thread on this forum McShane and Moore plus cash are going to Wakefield in exchange for Aiton and Poore.we then still have a hooker who is arguably better than McShane!

Wouldn't matter if it was Roby Clarke or
Aiton if kev wants to play at 9 he'll play at 9

maybe if he's so unprofessional to bad mouth his boss in public where he will be heard by fans them that's why he's not had a good relationship with mcdermott?

care to post a snippet of the gist of what was said?

I hate it when people hint at stuff like this, but never go into detail.

It's time McShane was either given a set role in the team or let go to another super league club.

He's been in and around the team for years now but a set role has never been nailed down. He's not our first choice starting hooker, but he's not an interchange hooker either. All this ''you're the only hooker in the first team squad but most of the time we will play other players in your position, but we'll still keep hold of you'' is starting to irritate me.

I think he'd make a decent interchange hooker because he can get out of dummy half quite fast and produce something different, i don't think he's good at setting the tempo of a game or directing play from the start.

Th biggest moan amongst Rhinos supporters is to sort out the hooker role. Kevin can revert to his former position of13 or6 but I realise this has implications for other players.

It'll also be interesting to see what implications Kevin's roles have for other England players during the World Cup. I guess we'll have to wait and see what roles Kevin wants for himself first, along with the roles he doesn't want for himself.

How can he direct play when everything goes through sinfield and is told to just tackle and pass? Imo he is one of our smartest players but I don't know if he's got an 80 minute engine and would be better off at another team where he can play more regularly

That works both ways - his boss has to treat him correctly to get the right correct of respect. Can't say I have seen McShane being treated very equitably by McDermott.

You can't say that on here - King Kev is royalty

And unless you can back it up, it's also groundless nonsense.

Course, the whole "Sinfield dictates team selection for Leeds and England" brigade have absolutely nothing to back up their claims other than a) trolling and b) paranoid nonsense brought on by a sense of loyalty to the former Leeds stand off.

He wouldn't make my 17 that's for sure.

You can't say that. Kevin rang them all up personally and said that if he doesn't get to play 6 for Leeds and England he'll quit both teams.........no, really!

Neither have you to say it isn't true - it is all conjecture on both sides and that includes you

If you think sinfield doesn't influence the team selection your off your trolley.
I can see why you chose your avatar to be a Muppet

It is a damn shame neither McShane nor Hood have been given a fair crack of the whip owing to the insistence of having to include Burrow in the important hooking role. McShane probably does not have the 80min engine, but sharing the role with Hood each match might have been the answer. ... We will never know now.

The club should do the decent thing and let the lad move on where he will be trusted in the role. It IS obvious McDermott is here to stay and McShane will never get a equal chance to cement a place in the 17. He needs to find Kirke's secret forthwith

Yep Agree with this

Sinfield believes being able to play how he wants, how he plays for his club, however he personally sees fit is [url=http://stevemascord.com/2013/02/19/the-a-list-kevin-sinfield-leeds-england/"A GOOD FIT"[/url.

He wouldn't make my England 17 either, and definitely not on the basis of his form in 2013.

Unfortunately, it appears that his selection for the World Cup as England skipper, playmaker, control freak, plays where he wants, etc, was made quite some time ago no matter what. McNamara is clearly a devoted fan.

He should have retired from internationals after the 2008 World Cup.

"With McNarmara in charge, HE ASKED ME to play how I play at club level"

You keep bringing it up don't you - I've been trying to forget it, I've had extensive counseling for the past 5 years but you still keep reminding us don't you?

Just let it go, what happened happened - let us put our feelings about it in a box then lock it up in a darkened room and not visit that room ever again. Some things are best just forgotten.

My World Cup Final ticket in 2008 was cheap compared to yours




My opinion at the time was - apart from James Graham, none of those useless embarrassing f****** should ever be selected for the national side again! Five years on and one of the most embarrassing of the lot (who was so poor he had to be dropped by his greatest admirer for the semi final) is now the golden booted skipper!

Awww, I don't want to play no more... boo hoo... think I'll retire... sob sob... not enjoying playing internationals... cry cry... can't do what I like...



... or play where I like...



... WHAT? I can do what I like, play where I like, just like I do at club level?

Cheers Steve!

GOOD FIT!

Oh, and thanks for asking

To be fair his role in this England squad is much different to his previous role, so I think we should at least give him a chance before he's hung out to dry.
