Quote ="PopTart"I have to disagree about Sinfield. I know there is a lot of noise from other clubs saying he isn't as good as he is billed to be but for me, being above average at everything makes him exceptional.
There are many players like Offiah as an example who have one skill but as they are so good at it, elevates them to legend level.
Sinfield is just very good, not excellent. But he is very good at everything.
If it was just about being in a great side he would have been dropped by now.
Different coaches keep him as Captain. He is a big game player no doubt about that. And he makes others look good.
I imagine he will make an excellent coach too.
As far as Leeds are concerned, he is possibly their greatest player ever considering the trophies and longevity of his career.'"
and there's the rub, that's the conventional and generally accepted view - and i just don't share it. he's a model pro, never in bother off the field, in fantastic condition etc, but how lost did he look at belle vue (perhaps without maguire) last week?
as if to take away my own legs though, he put three tries on a plate for hall becasue we didn't pressure his kicks. his tackling was poor, his distrbution poor and his goal kicking wasn't up to standard.
