Quote: Sal Paradise "I would say these days Sinfield struggles in the middle - Saints exposed him twice in one move. Didn't he ask to be moved into the halves because he didn't want the tackling work of a forward? Hooker is the most demanding physical role in the team so why everyone is suddenly saying he is as good as a specialist hooker is beyond me.
The less said about his ponderous distribution the better. Stevie Wonder can see playing Sinfield at hooker is not working now the intensity has ramped up a bit. He is a quality half back/organiser the most important player in the team in that role moving him to hooker causes too much disruption. Just because McDermott picks him there doesn't make it right - everyone makes mistakes including the coach.'"
Sinfield isn't defending at hooker though. Cuthbertson is. Might add that Sinfield was arguably our best player in the wind vs Wigan and Hull. Like I said before, it he played there and we had two halves , say McGuire and Sutcliffe it would be fine. If Aiton was playing with only McGuire in the halves I doubt it'd great as well.
