Quote ="shaun_edwards_cheekbone"can't say I really noticed anythind dodgy about the kick, I thought this thread was going to be about Sinfields conversion from whinging, bitter loser to gracious professional Rugby League Club captain. Not what I expected from him when I got to hear his post match comments. Fair play to him. Him and his colleagues just need to cut out the constant back chat and complaining to the ref. They're starting to look like a football team and we don't want that in our sport.'"
I dont get all this anti Sinfield stuff.
Sure people from other clubs question his ability etc but those of us who see him every week no how important he is to Leeds.
His so called moaning to the ref - He is the captain so can talk to the ref. Every team does this and I cannot believe the amount of other fans that derise Captain Kev for this. Your own Tompkins pair are quite good at doing this also and then there are the likes of Briers and Eastmond that are always trying to have a go at the ref.
What I certainly cannot believe is you being so surprised at Catptain Kev's post match speach. He is always very gratious and a very good and rational speaker after a game who gives credit where it is due.
Best team won last night,pure and simple as I said to Michael McGuire and Steve Hampson when bumping into them at the KFC at Birstall on their way back last night and also wishing them all the best for next week. Both seem sound guys.
p.s Sinfields Kick DID go over. I read the comment from a Wigan fan on our board last night questioning it and must admit watching the re run last night it does LOOK like it misses but I was sat in the Carnegie Seats right in line of the kick and it definitely did go between the posts.
Our season is over now and I'm sure plenty of your fans will take pleasure in gloating in that (looking at some of the other threads)
I like Captain Kev can be gratious in victory and defeat and have no complaints over last night.
As I said to your coach last night you have been the best/most consistant team all year and well deserve to be at Old Trafford.
Enjoy next weekend.
I think and hope it will be a belter of a game.
Congratulations on your excellent season and from a Leeds point of view and indeed other clubs it is frightening to think that you could/should be even better next season with the additions McGuire has added to what in effect has still been Nobles squad this season
