If these Sinfield threads have infact been duly deleted:

Then these forums should hold their heads in shame, these are the very same forums that have been so condescending against the most successful GF captain ever, and who now clearly sees it fit to show who the best hooker in SL is, even though it's not his normal day job

On a final note Sinny asked me to pass on this message to all of you

Your spot on here.

How anyone could criticise anyone on that field playing for England is beyond me. All helped towards a fantastic win over the world champions. Teams aren’t full of super stars and tonight showed they don’t need to be to beat the world champions

Played really well at hooker, where if you check my posts is where I wanted him selected in the first place, with O'Loughlin at loose forward.

Well deserved m.o.m. this week and should have got it last week as well.

Yep Id agree with that. I think O'Loughlin is a great backrower who adds a bit of speed to the pack without losing anything in defence. Plus he's fairly versatile and could fill in a few positions in an emergency.

Sinny had a great game at hooker tonight.Maybe time to get shut of that overpaid australian crock next year eh????

A pity O'Loughlin misses so many internationals injured to prevent that from happening.

England's 'unofficial captain' was outstanding tonight.

Win, lose or draw next week

Sinfield will be Englands Man of the series

Maybe thats why all those forums have deleted their Sinny posts in anticipation

I said straight after the Aussie game last week that sinfield should play hooker as he was very very good at 9.

If I'm being honest I wouldn't even have picked sinfield in the whole squad as I don't think he is good enough to play 13 at international level.

IMO though sinfield could make a top class hooker at international level. He moved us round the field from the ruck, made some clever plays and was his normal good in defence.

He seems to play better when he's more involved and is used as a main man as he does for Leeds.

He's my England player of four nations.

He has to be used in the right role. His role for Leeds, and this time for England (other than when at hooker) has been as the central playmaker - something that's more normally a scrum half role. I thought we were really good with the hooker and two halves as pivots, but not so good when we tried to be more expansive and play three pivots and wide running second rows. The strength of the team is the way we openned the game - props: The collisions of Morley, workrate of Peacock, stamina and passing of Graham, mobility of Burgess and offloads from Crabtree.

Tinyrod displays his complete ignorance of the game every time he puts his fat fingers to keyboard.

his best performance in an international shirt, brilliant tonight.

He just gets better in every big game he plays. Great performance tonight.

Sinfield has been outstanding this series and the reason is because he his the central playmaker, he is calling the shots and dictating the play like he does for his club, this is the first time I can remember him being given this role in an international set up.

He has though suprised me how well he is playing at hooker, he is looking very much a Cameron Smith type of hooker.

I would give him the Captains armband as he looks to be playing that role anyway!

On the other hand Roby has been very poor since the quick scoot from dummy half has been taken out of the game (for the better I feel) Roby needs to learn to a bit cleverer and his passing/decision making needs to improve
