Quote ="ROBINSON"I have to agree with this. In his early days he was a fantastic finisher and scored try after try after try for both Hull and Leeds. When he moved to stand off, he became a more than decent playmaker, and at international level, he formed a great partnership with Shaun Edwards.
Schofield is one of the very few British players to be more renowned as an international player than a club player, and that is an achievement in itself.
If you want to see a great display of class, ability and leadership, watch the second test against Australia in 1992.'"
Hear hear,
I know I will come across as being biased but Schofield was arguably one of the greatest players of his generation and even the Aussies realised that at a time when they really thought our players were shocking! Hanley was also great and if anything, I would put them both on a level. Different, but both as influential for whatever side they were playing for.
I also heard a whisper quite a few years ago that Wigan offered Edwards for Schofield in a straight swap...personally I think he was much more of player than Edwards, which his GB performances proves. You don't get to equal the most international appearances for your country if you are not much cop!
