That is ridiculous.

Have any other players had a more decorated career? Perhaps some of the Wigan team in the 80's/90's, but not in the SL era?

Peacock? Saturday was his 10th GF and 8th win!!!!!

Certainly up there, although Sinfield has alot of individual honours. I'm guessing Peacock has a couple of Challenge Cup winners medals?

The 2 players seem head and shoulders above others but in direct comparison Peacock has a better Challenge Cup and WCC record, more international caps, a greater GF record and has been named man of steel and captained his country.

Peacock also has his MBE from the New Year honours list.

Although I think they are 1 apiece on appearing on A Question of Sport...

Harold Wagstaff [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wagstaff[/url captained arguably the greatest club side in history - Huddersfield's "Team of All the Talents" that won "All Four Cups" (Championship, Challenge Cup, Yorkshire League and Yorkshire Cup) in 1914-15. They were also Champions and Yorkshire League Champions in 1911–12, 1912–13, Cup Winners in 1912–13, and Yorkshire Cup winners in 1911-12 and 1913-14.

He also was one of, if not THE, greatest Test captains. He debuted at 17 against the first Kangaroos in 1908, and led us to Ashes victory in Australia in 1914 including probably the greatest test victory in history - the "Rorke's Drift Test" [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorke%27s_Drift_Test#Third_test[/url

He served in Egypt during the Great War; toured again after the War, and retired in 1925.

History doesn't start in 1995!

Thanks for the info, and thanks for the condescending remark at the end.

I can assure you I certainly didn't mean to be condescending. We have a rich history to celebrate in our game and we just don't give enough regard to the greats that have graced our game since 1895.
Sky Sports especially seems to have a policy that Super League was Year Zero; even their show that looks to the past is called "Super League Hard Men".
Kevin Sinfield's achievements with Leeds do rank him among the greats of our game in my opinion;if only he had delivered more on the international stage!

i think sinfield will get an MBE in the honours list this new year - if they can fit him in with all the olympians

He should be man of steel for sure. He is also one of the best refs in the game

Sinfield does have a Challenge Cup winners medal from 1999 and a losers one from 2000 - but he didn't play in either final.

Did Keith Senior sell them to him?

He was 18th man in both games and played in the previous cup games. i believe the team get a number of additional medals that they can give to whoever they like. They tend to go to squad players and the coaching staff sometimes

any international trophy's of note?

In terms of actual honours Shaun Edwards' hat will be thrown into the ring sooner or later, taken from Wiki and the Wigan RL Website.
3 x WCC winner, 1 losing
8 x Championship winner
8 x Challenge Cup winner, 3 losing
3 x Regal trophy, 1 losing
5 x Lancashire Cup winner, 1 losing
3x Charity Shield winner, 4 losing
36 GB caps (incl 4 off the bench) 16 tries
Man of Steel Award 1990
Edwards played in an era that had far more domestic trophy's on offer than in the SL era so the number is somewhat slanted. However despite many of us taking the Wigan achievements from the mid 80s on with a pinch of salt given the vast differential in terms of buying power etc, Edwards achievements are of the highest order and credit to him cannot be taken away as the the Huddersfield 'Team of all talents' (a tag brazingly pinched from Sunderland FC's 1890 side) were sweeping all before them in a similar vein and would have carried on no doubt had it not been for WWI.

No.

He's British.

I don't think I'll see anyone surpass Edwards' personal honours record in my lifetime. Incredible achievement.

Pre super league its got to be Shaun Edwards but as people above has mentioned there were more honours available then.

Is there anybody better in Superleague: [size=150Keiron Cunningham.[/size

5 Superleague Winners 4 runners up

7 Challenge Cup Winners 1 runners up

2 World Club Winners 3 runners up

175 tries, most tries in superleague for a forward.

496 appearances

23 international caps

6 dream team nominations

Nominated best hooker in the world in 2002

Rugby World Magazine voted No 1 player in the history of Superleague.

Most sought after british player from the NRL in 2002.

Currently immortalised in bronze as a living legend.

So it's agreed, Kevin Sinfield isn't the best person ever.

Anyone else think this is all getting a bit OTT?

Nope.

Simply putting the question out there WellJellsy as I was genuinely interested in what he and other players have achieved.

Thanks for your contribution though, much appreciated.

How was that worked out?
If he was that wanted why did he not go? the NRL was paying pretty big money to the likes Lockyer, Johns and Buderus.

In an 11 season career he played Tests against Australia just 4 times.

Edwards,Cunningham,and Sinfield have won a lot in their teams and are all been great for the game.They have also had other great players in their teams to achieve these rewards too.

Nobody is talking about who is the greatest player, top players get seen by bigger/stronger clubs, often from a young age so they move on. That happens in every sport, the aim of a club is to win competitions so they build up a side to at least compete and hopefully win something. So why would a team not want to have other great players alongside their other top players?
For instance, Edwards wasn't a great IMO (very few are) but was consistantly very very good, longevity stood him in good stead as well as being fortunate enough to be around in that Wigan team at the right time. That is hardly a fault of Edwards when comparing honours as the sole benchmark here.
Some greats chose a path that gave them little reward, David Topliss was one, spent 13 years at a waning Wakey side wining the Lance Todd in defeat, then went to Hull at 31 and bagged some deserved silverware. He was overlooked for others at test level because he wasn't in a 'popular' or doing well team despite his talents. That is just how life goes, you cannot detract from individuals achievements just because they have have had a certain amount of luck alongside their endeavours throughout their careers.
