Think football's more your game mate. While Sinfield's international record doesn't stand up against any of those (hold up, actually it stands up quite well against Cunningham's), he is a fine player and has certainly been the most successful captain of Leeds RLFC in the club's history. Moreover, he has been a superb ambassador for his club and the game off-the-field.

What any of it has to do with this thread isn't entirely clear, though.

Anybody of any value in the game will tell you sinfield is one of the best players of his generation. He would walk into any SL and nrl starting line up.

Dont be silly.

Sorry have to disagree super league maybe but NRL!!

as much as i hate wigan... he wouldn't get in their team ahead of the curly haired one.... not a chance.

the curly "head man"wont lift super league titles as many times as Sinfield.

I would still take the curly haired man over Sinfield any day

Possibly, one of the most "silly" posts I've ever seen.
True, he'd get into the majority of Super League teams (he is, after all, GB international standard - even if it's been a poor GB standard for the length of his career), but come on," he'd walk into any NRL side". YOU'VE BEEN HITTING THE SHERRY, EARLY. He'd struggle to get on the subs bench for most of the NRL's second strings, at best.

As I said before, a good SL player, FANTASTIC organiser, and that's the story.

Like so many other players of his ilk, if he wre playing for a less fashionable side, he'd get his plaudits (deserved), but not half as much attention.

Thought it said SCULLY anyhow..

Rubbish nrl teams have more squad players than our league as marque signings cost a lot more! The standard is high in the nrl for sure but sinfield is easy good enough to play nrl at hooker, backrow or 13. You can get picked in the nrl for defence alone. Eg David stagg, Dallas Johnson. Alan Tong, nathen hindmarsh, Sinfield is one of the best defenders in sl as well as all his other attributes. So not stupid pal. Would sini get sl money in the nrl? I very much doubt it. Would he be In the starting 13? Too right.

A great leader, Great short kicking game, great long kicking game, great offloadeder, Awesome defender, amazing engine, great try assist record! Great at refing the game and influancing the ref like Hanley, lockeyer and wally Lewis ! Like it or not A great skill in our game

one of the best goal kickers in the game!

Oh yeah and a great organiser and a model pro on and off the field?

so just a fantastic organiser eh? should have gone to spec savers! Who's silly now pal? You point dexter!

'Walk into every line up'?

Superleague yes.

NRL? Good one.

Harry Sunderland Winner.
Lance Todd trophy Winner.
Shortlisted for International Golden Boot.

Just your average loose forward.

ahhh right...... i didnt realise that was the criteria behind how good a player is.

I see from the above posts, sgtwilko dreamt of Kevin last night, and woke up with a smile on his face. AAAAWWWWW

Some people......



I started this thread as a tongue in cheek dig at the rumours that we were/had signed Kevin Sinfield that surfaced a while ago.

At long last, we have a winner. You win the star prize for actually having a sense of humour

al take that lack of debate as you conceed im right. and i havent slept at all as there is an 11 hour time difference! do keep up point dexter. i am gonna get an early night to get up for leeds v quins on radio leeds in the morning.

point dexter

name me an nrl team and the players in any of the positions of 6,9,11,12,13 where sini would not get a game before them?

so it would have to be a team with a 6,9,11,12 and 13 better than sini and those players would walk into any sl team as you agreed?

are you 12????
NO you're not right. It's MY opinion, we don't agree on Sinfield's level of superstardom.

point dexter....I'm puzzled, what does that mean......maybe you're 8...who knows

your location means as much to me, as the classified section of the Hudderfield Gazette from August 21st 1936....very little.

hope you get beat. night night

no pal not good enough!

again i will say you are wrong! you said sinfield was, i quote:


. i never said anything about "superstardom" thats you chaning the point of debate away from the comment been discussed! a comment that you made. you talk about childish when you made some half d comment about me dreaming about sinfield, dont be a hypocrite.

i argue sinfield is far more than a fantastic orgainiser

i will repeat

he is a great leader, has a great short kicking game, great long kicking game, great offloadeder, Awesome defender, amazing engine, great try assist record! Great at refing the game and influancing the ref like Hanley, lockeyer and wally Lewis ! Like it or not A great skill in our game

one of the best goal kickers in the game!

Oh yeah and a great organiser and a model pro on and off the field!

i will add versatile as he can play 6,7,9,11,12,13

short listed for the a golden boot, and a harry sunderland and lance todd winner(thanks neil)

have the dignity to defend your comments!

he isn't a 6,7,9,11,12..... he is a 13.

And as good as he is.... he isnt good enough to walk into any team in the NRL..... you are deluding yourself.

He's a brilliant referee, best in SL
