Quote: loiner81 "Well you've got to at least get picked before performing on the international stage but... Would you care to name all these bad games he had for Eng/GB? I can think of one many years ago where he was subbed but since then he's performed better than most and won quite a few MOM awards. He was also chosen as MOM by the NRL boys several times during the last world cup.
I've seen Aiton dive once, it was embarrassing and I hope he never does it again. I've seen Brough dive twice in the last 2 games...'"
Indeed you have- blame that first bit on the fact we've had a coach who has failed miserably at club level running the international team- one who can't command the respect of the players in his team. Just ask Hardaker.
I've seen sinfield play well just twice in any meaningful international fixtures. he's great playing to the structures he knows and has practiced again and again ag Leeds, he is skilled but has little creative flair.
If sinfield had played his entire career at hull fc, for example, would you still be giving him these plaudits? I think not. He's mr dependable at Leeds certainly. The John major of RL.
