Quote ="barham red"Bit of a silly post really, just because Leeds have won x titles and Warrington have won the CC a couple of times doesn't mean their HBs are better (not saying they're not BTW). The balance of their sides is better, the team as a whole is miles better.
If London signed Thurston and an in his prime Lockyer as 6 and 7 but kept the same pack and backs they wouldn;t win the GF.'"
So you dont think putting Sinfield alongside Dobson would improve your team, the worlds number 1 player and all that? Personally cant stand Sinfield but dont doubt his ability to drag Leeds out the mire as he does so very often. (For what its worth I'd have him at Hull any day of the week and twice on a Friday) The halves are the heartbeat of the team and have a massive influence on a teams performance and balance, so in answer to your second question, London with Thurston and Lockyer at the helm would be well up their challenging for honours though probably not winning things.
