It's time McShane was either given a set role in the team or let go to another super league club.

He's been in and around the team for years now but a set role has never been nailed down. He's not our first choice starting hooker, but he's not an interchange hooker either. All this ''you're the only hooker in the first team squad but most of the time we will play other players in your position, but we'll still keep hold of you'' is starting to irritate me.

I think he'd make a decent interchange hooker because he can get out of dummy half quite fast and produce something different, i don't think he's good at setting the tempo of a game or directing play from the start.

Th biggest moan amongst Rhinos supporters is to sort out the hooker role. Kevin can revert to his former position of13 or6 but I realise this has implications for other players.

It'll also be interesting to see what implications Kevin's roles have for other England players during the World Cup. I guess we'll have to wait and see what roles Kevin wants for himself first, along with the roles he doesn't want for himself.

How can he direct play when everything goes through sinfield and is told to just tackle and pass? Imo he is one of our smartest players but I don't know if he's got an 80 minute engine and would be better off at another team where he can play more regularly

That works both ways - his boss has to treat him correctly to get the right correct of respect. Can't say I have seen McShane being treated very equitably by McDermott.

You can't say that on here - King Kev is royalty

He wouldn't make my 17 that's for sure.

You can't say that. Kevin rang them all up personally and said that if he doesn't get to play 6 for Leeds and England he'll quit both teams.........no, really!

Neither have you to say it isn't true - it is all conjecture on both sides and that includes you

If you think sinfield doesn't influence the team selection your off your trolley.
I can see why you chose your avatar to be a Muppet

It is a damn shame neither McShane nor Hood have been given a fair crack of the whip owing to the insistence of having to include Burrow in the important hooking role. McShane probably does not have the 80min engine, but sharing the role with Hood each match might have been the answer. ... We will never know now.

The club should do the decent thing and let the lad move on where he will be trusted in the role. It IS obvious McDermott is here to stay and McShane will never get a equal chance to cement a place in the 17. He needs to find Kirke's secret forthwith

Sinfield believes being able to play how he wants, how he plays for his club, however he personally sees fit is rl"A GOOD FIT"rl.

He wouldn't make my England 17 either, and definitely not on the basis of his form in 2013.

Unfortunately, it appears that his selection for the World Cup as England skipper, playmaker, control freak, plays where he wants, etc, was made quite some time ago no matter what. McNamara is clearly a devoted fan.

He should have retired from internationals after the 2008 World Cup.
