i am not a leeds fan but you are having a joke i hope

Re: Kevin Sinfield : Sat Sep 29, 2012 3:47 pm  

surely not?
I do not see him as a legend of the game though, thinking about the immortals and people who have been inducted over in aus - he would not make first five nominations for me for me. When you look at players we would include over here - bevan, risman, foster, van vollen, betts, platt, farrell, sculthorpe, newlove, robinson, offiah, schofield, hanley, edwards etc.
Legend ? is he even best 6 or 13 in past ten years? farrell, sculthorpe, o'loughlin all better loose forwards and at six barret, pryce ,mcguire, briers all had times when they have been best 6 over here. Legend at leeds maybe but legend of the game not convinced. decent enough player but never done it at international level.

He must have done something to be nominated for the Golden Boot Award, no?

Errs, don't think Newlove should be added to a list of legends.

Sinfield is different because he is an all rounder. He makes others better players and is above average at everything.

For me we need to give him a decent run for England, as captain.

Kevin Sinfield is a very special rugby league footballer. Yes he may not have turned it on in international games but how many can hold their hand up and say they have? He's had a great career and deserves a hell of a lot of respect.

Sinfield is excellent for Leeds and is a top captain.
On the field, apart from his kicking game, he doesn't seem to do anything extravagant, but certainly inspires and motivates his team.
At international level he just doesn't have the same level of input or authority but, for Leeds, he's their most important player.

Re: Kevin Sinfield : Sat Sep 29, 2012 6:10 pm  

A great captain and kicker, a very average player in open play.

Re: Kevin Sinfield : Sat Sep 29, 2012 6:30 pm  

when he's played at hooker for england he's been brilliant....so much so wally lewis said england should build a team around him

You don't achieve what Sinfield has by being average
