There is a qualifying criteria of 100 1st grade games for Leeds which currently counts out your alternate suggestions. It's a sensible criteria when assessing a player's contribution to the club as it recognises a minimum of 3 seasons commitment to the club.
Both Hanley and Sinfield meet that criteria.
Harsh on Sinfield but Hanley was a different class (even towards the end of his career) in his four years at his hometown club. It's no shame IMO to place second in a poll to the greatest British player of his generation.

Ok, that's fair enough.
Having only seen a little bit of Hanley I am obviously not as bowled over by his obvious talent as people who watched him througout his career.
I'm still leaning towards Sinfield for among other reasons:
12-15 years service when he finishes
8 plus years as an inspirational leader on and off the field
A chance he'll become the clubs leading points scorer of all time
Consistent high levels of performance that earned international honours and on a short list for world player of the year
Inspirational finals perfomances which earned mom honours
Etc etc etc

| All perfectly valid and Sinfield is a worthy contender, on the other hand he didn't have to put up with Garry Schofield.

| Whilst Hanley did a lot of good things in a Leeds shirt he was still part of one of the biggest ever under-achieving squads here.
It's Sinfield for me ,an inspirational leader ,quality player and his exploits during our most succesfull era have been nothing short of outstanding.

Rubbish.
Different types of player, did different things for their clubs. For what Sinfield has done for "Leeds" he would get my vote ahead of Hanley.

| Hanley was the better RL player, Sinfield has accomplished more for Leeds. Tough call, but Sinfield gets my vote.

| These things are never going to be straightforward but if greater accomplishment is the top criteria the final selection is going to have a pretty familiar look to it.
Sinfield could make my mythical bench (even though he's started there only 27 times out of 394 Appearances for the club) as he's started: 222 at loose, 15 in the 2nd row, 7 at hooker and 123 in the halves.

Unknowns aren't going to make the "greatest" team in reality.
