Always seemed to be a player who polarised opinions somewhat - I'm not sure his work in defence (often hailed by his supporters) was as devastating as they recollect, nor were his attacking skills as poor as his detractors would have you believe.

seemed to blow hot and cold for Leeds, although I always thought he had a lot of talent.

Remember one game against saints where he utterly owned Fozzard and tackled him out of the game.

Only because he was working behind the bar there.

Quote: SouthStanderDave "Wasn't good going to Warrington (the week after he'd dropped the ball with the try line at his mercy at HQ- can't remember who we were playing) and then hearing lots of our fans ironically cheering whilst he was out training and catching the ball... didnt deserve that.'"


Didn't we get beat closely at home by Wigan the week before?

I was disgusted by the ironic cheers by our so called fans at Warrington that afternoon

Dean Lance and Chev Walker have also received the self same treatment from our fans

No place for it IMO

Fat people are harder to kidnap.:35138.jpg



One of my all time favourite Leeds players. Much of his work went unseen; his defensive positioning was superb and often infiltrated the attacking line to prevent offloads and attacking set pieces.

More than this though he was a true gent off the pitch, he always took time out to chat every time I saw him. He once offered all four of us a lift home when he saw us waiting for a cab one night after a game.

Wish him all the best with the Titans

Probably about right for me, he was just so very average although I don't think being asked to play right centre helped him.

I was born to be a Rhino like my dad I was born to be a Rhino like my mum I was born to be a Rhino Born to be a Rhino Not like you You xxxxing inbred scum:



He was a proper gent .
Came down to Rodley Rockets a week or two before he was due back from the big injury lay off . He was due to just do the presentations ... BUT...

He went down on the field and had a kick around with the under thirteens .

I warned them to be gentle with him , and asked him if he was ok with it ... He laughed and smiled.. then said ' hey.. it's kids.. what harm can it do ? '

Top fella . Good luck to him . Wishing him all the best .

His number of tackles were always work man like per game.

He added some steel down that right side that could have been handy over last 2 seasons.

As fro his attack, i thought it was ok, the season review dvds show to the average supporter he set more up than they thought.

I know.

And lots of other morons too.

I remember been away at Hudders and he was been treat like a criminal.

He then sent a miracle ball out of the back door and sent someone in the corner, cant remember who though??????

And they then deemed that as 'lucky'.

Most of our 'supporters' are cretins.

To me that's the most annoying aspect of game day. Don't worry though i take all lifes frustrations out in the gym. I must have a few chips on my shoulders then looking at me. icon_wink.gif

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg

I used to do that but apparently Virgin Active say its' against their rules to masturbate in the jacuzzi.

Hrumph!

He was definitely worth a punt when Leeds signed him. He had been an outstanding attacking player on occasion for NZ. It was fairly obvious though that he had lost all confidence and playing on the right didn't help either. He was reasonably 'solid' but at one stage was kept out of the team by Ashley Gibson, which about sums him up - certainly not worth taking up an overseas spot.

And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you. K. Sinfield, GF 2011:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45465.jpg



Quote: Damo-Leeds "Played well for Leeds when he was fit. Hope he goes well with the GCT.'"


Don't agree. I thought he never showed any kind of form for us. Defensively sound but totally lacking any sort of attacking flair.

Still, it was a shame the way his stint ended at Leeds and I hope the guy has a change in luck.
