Thought Sinfield had a good game last night.
Great kick from near touch after Bailey had left the field, to effectively make the game safe, and intelligent enough to slot over a '1 pointer' at the end.

what a load of rubbish. the man was a disgrace, , along with mcguire and diskin. whinging at every decision, at which most were correct. when bentham sent fox off, you didn't see him complaining . he took the decision and walked off, like a true sportsman. sinfields behaviour is more like that of afootballer. we don't want that in our game. it sets a terrible example for younger players and is a bad advert for rugby league.. he should have had 10 mins for descent .

Give over! - Dummy seems well out.

Look at the game again. Sinfield was questioning decisions in a positive manner as he is allowed to do as captain.

Rather have captains questioning decisions and giving positive feedback to his team rahter than the situ like headingley last year where Ganson wouldnt allow decisions to be questioned, the players got frustrated and Scruton spear tackled Cunningham.

I'm glad he was talking to the ref.

He did say something like "I'm captain can I not talk to you then? I thought rules were the same for both sides?" when the ref said they are he just no they're not.

Sinfield has been utterly wreckless in encouraging the RL ref-bashing culture. I had come to expect better of him.

If the captain didn't question decisions I'd see them as very disinterested. Sinfield has every right to question decisions and rightly so. Also thoughthe had a very good game especially in defence.

Damn straight. Am I right in thinking he came up with two one-on-one ball steals?

The problem is refs will make mistakes - how often do you ever here them say I got it wrong?

Respect has to flow both ways - and when they get it wrong the refs should stick their hand up and change the decision.

On the offside Benthem was taking them back 12 metres and then penalising them for offside. Is the rule 10 metres or in line with the ref?

just caught Bluey's post match interview , he thought we were being asked to go back a big 10 metres.

Was a good game from a neutral point of view but diskin and mcguire need to stop lashing out at the ref, they do my head in
