| Quote: G1 "rhinoms response was perfectly valid. It demonstrated that recognition for Sinfield's talent comes from a world wide audience and not just Leeds fans.
Thus he rebutted the point that person on my ignore list was trying to make.'"
Never made it past your 5th birthday then Gareth? |

when taken as a single measure. Sinfield's nomination is the latest in a string of team, and personal honours, on both domestic and international stage.
I'm still not convinced he has reached 'great of the game' status yet though |

Again, you're making the assumption that his greatness is based "solely" on the golden boot nomination, which it isn't.
Quote: Phuzzy "Just for the record recent Golden Boot nominees/Best in their position include Manu Vatavei and Roy Asotasi. No-one considers their nominations as reasons to be considered 'greats of the game' and rightly so.'" Asotasi and Vatavei may have been voted best in position but they have not been nominated for the Golden boot. |

| Quote: G1 "He has played in a series win for his country. I don't think Henley ever did, though I stand to be corrected. Thus I don't think results achieved at international level are an accurate barometer for British players, given the antipodean era of dominance.
IU do not intend to discuss the issue any further with you because you have a clear agenda. I do not accept your proposition that Sinfield has only played well in the last "game and a half" and therefore there's no further basis for discussion.
If his international career has been such a failure to this point (it hasn't) ask yourself why every international coach since 2000 has continually selected him?
You should read JJB's interview with him in this months RLWorld magazine which explains that for the first time at international level he's been asked to run the show like he does at Leeds with the same results. Previously, he was not given this role because of the presence of Farrell and Sculthorpe etc. Now they're gone he can be the pivot (from 6, 13 or 9) and we're seeing the results.'"
Spot on. Sinfield has never let GB/England down and I seem to remember another MOM performance when he came on at standoff and turned the game around against NZ (?) a couple of years ago. As stated by G1's quote from JJB, previously the international game plans never allowed him to fully show his organalisation skills until the other week. |

Against France IIRC.
Nicely summed up in the BBC Sport blog by Justin Morgan, when discussing the switch of Sinfield to hooker.
"It meant that one of the craftiest players in the country was playing in one of the craftiest positions in the game." |

The other nominations for the award are South Sydney and New Zealand's Roy Asotasi, Warriors and Australian representative Steve Price, North Queensland and Australian halfback Johnathan Thurston, plus Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock and international teammate Gareth Ellis.
Slater was the runaway winner of the Golden Boot last year, picking up 41 voting points, 31 ahead of second-placed Manu Vatuvei

Your quotes are for the 2007 nomination. This years are as followsKevin Sinfield may be a surprise selection in some eyes, but his outstanding performance for England in their 20-12 victory against New Zealand on Saturday night, following his influential display against Australia the previous week, confirmed his nomination.
Sinfield has enjoyed a memorable autumn. Not only did he become the first captain to win four Super League Grand Finals, but he also won the Harry Sunderland award as the Old Trafford man of the match as his side dispatched St Helens for the third year in a row. He scored 253 Super League points for the Rhinos in 2009.
The other five players with a chance of winning the award are Australia's Greg Inglis, Billy Slater and Cameron Smith, England's Gareth Ellis and New Zealand's Fuifui Moimoi. Moimoi is the only nominee who won't be able to press his claim in this Saturday's final.
Slater and Smith are the last two winners of the award and, along with Inglis, tasted Grand Final glory with Melbourne this year and State-of-Origin success with Queensland for the fourth year in a row."

Yeah I know. It was in response to a question about whether Roy Asotasi or Manu Vatevei had ever been nominated for the Golden boot or were just named as best players in their position.
Cheers though. |
