Quote: Lawrie L "Think Lewis Jones runs him very close'"
There's always a lot of subjectivity when making statements like that. For me, put simply, it's not enough to be a good player anymore. To be faster or stronger than the other man. You have to apply yourself to learning not just the craft, but dietetics, plyometrics and history of your opposition. Never have so many people been so fit and strong. Never have collisions torn sinews from bones as they do now. Never before have athletes been so fast and so agile. To achieve what Sinfield has achieved, in the era he has achieved it in, is simply breathtaking, and if you had read a synopsis of his career twenty years ago you'd have dismissed it as fanciful makebelieve.
Sinfield and his team have brought financial security to the club, brought TV revenue, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, development opportunities for the stadium and training facilities, he has generated a period of unprecedented success fiscally as well as sportingly.
Yes Hetherington has masterminded the admin, and Caddick the funds, but without success on the park. . .
I agree with Harry, best Captain, best player, maybe not, most important in the clubs history. For sure.
