Ah, you're being silly. Or perhaps desperate to prove a point that cannot be proven, since it is all opinion and not fact. But let me pander to your childish side and restate my case: While I have been a fan of rugby league, the only Leeds player to have impressed me as a player is Sinfield.
There, is that better?
McShane is the second Leeds player to impress me as a player. I hope he continues to develop and improve his game in the same style. If he does, hopefully we will see him in an England shirt at some point in the future.

It's no better. It's ridiculous.
Just out of interest how many Saints players impressed you in the same period?

Out of interest then, what St Helens players have impressed you?

Great minds and all that. I'm enjoying this - it's too easy!

I wonder if any will be 'statue-worthy'?
If they build one for Paul Wellens, will it be faster than the real thing?

Too true I can't believe the current England captain who has been consistently one of the best, if not the best prop forwards in superleague hasn't managed to impress him. Yet, a young hooker who has strung 4 or 5 good performances together has won such a prestigious accolade from him.

If so I apologise in advance, however my point still stands!

| We've actually got a threat near to the line!! On 2 fronts as well. Firstly McShane's vision and sharpness of pass to the wingers, secondly his low centre of gravity and nouse around the ruck. Cunningham in his peak would damn near guarantee a try when he decided to go from dummy half, just with his raw power. Not sure McShane is in the same league but there are some very encouraging signs.
One of my main criticisms of Leeds has been that we never ever barge our way over the line. Peacock does it now and then, but apart from that we haven't really had anyone do it since Wayne McDonald. Bradford used to score hundreds of tries with this in their glory years, so it's good to see us carrying a threat near the line at the moment.

Agree with all that apart from...did Wayne MacDonald ever really barge his way over very often?
Ablett is pretty good getting over close to the line in tight situations

If you look at my post again, though, I acknowledge that he is raw and inexperienced. I did speak about talent. Some players just jump out as raw talent (in first grade terms, in this instance). He may not go anywhere, a lot of young players don't. But he may well do so. It is possible to be impressed by raw talent and proven talent simultaneously.

| Twice in the 70-0 at home to Saints.... But apart from that I can't really remember any .
Chris Feather did it at home to the Bulls when we beat the 26-12 in 2004. What a player that man could have been had he any heart whatsoever..

And the Saints players who've impressed you in the last 5 years?

Are completely irrelevant.
You have a whole thread dedicated to Paul McShane. Therefore, clearly your own fans have been impressed by him. I hope to see him in an England shirt one day. You never know, he could end up being as good a hooker as Keiron Cunningham was.

No, it will give us some perspective as to why someone like Peacock and McGuire have been unable to impress you.
