I am not trying to convince anyone Slater is gash quite the opposite in fact he is a brilliant player, his main attribute is his physical prowess though not his skill level thats all.

Sinfield if a highly skilled player, Slater does not have in my opinion significantly greater skills than many top players, physically though he is streets ahead and that is what makes him so fantastic.

Skills to me would be ability to read a game, passing, kicking, tackling etc. Slater is World Class Sinfield is not that is obvious but a high level of skill is not what makes Slater so good.

That's a complete myth.

Sam Burgess went round him quite easily!

He did have to try and cut off 3 players though although i know what Rads would have done in that situation................................Smash the man with the ball!

Which try are you talking about?

The one when he took the dummy.

Jim Sullivan was once asked what his greatest achievement was in RL. His answer was "I never took a dummy".

Tbh when Burgess had got easily past Petero Civoniceva and he was running at full tilt 5 metres from the line, would it have mattered?

Didn't work out quite the same the next time Burgess went for a dummy when he should have passed to Sam Tomkins did it?
