Place kicker is one of his many roles he takes within the team and is quite seperate from the others he performs. I don't think you can make up for missing place kicks that a kicker of his quality should land.

There are those you expect him to make and there are those that are a bonus. Landing the one from Lee Smith's first (while well within his ability as he has proved on countless occassions) was still a bonus when it sailed over just as the final conversion missing was not something anyone should critisize him over.

I see yer point and agree to some extent but he scored a quality try and that imo made up for the normally easy kick he missed.

What do you think Kevin Sinfield will have made of his hit, miss, hit, miss night with the boot or conceding an early penalty that led to Bradford's first soft try through the middle or kicking away attacking possession early in the tackle count or throwing a looping pass that said intercept all over it?

I imagine he'd be far less understanding than you appear to be.

What was his aftermatch comments on Sky"We're disappointed. I know we got a point Rod but we're at home, the same errors keep costing us. We spilled too much ball, poor discipline and in the end we play for twenty minutes, throw the ball about and have a crack but it's too late by then."[/i

While he was speaking in respect of the team's performance it's a team he is rightly at the centre of.

He's one of those players that isn't ashamed to say he's poor by his own standards and most of the squad are the same so what i'd think he'd say is irrellevant to how i think he played.

If you think Sinfield is honest why do you think his after match comments would not be a fair reflection of his and the teams performance and therefore relevant. Do you think you have a better understanding of how he played than he has?

Would you say Keith Senior can be relied upon to be honest in his comments also?

[iRhinos hope to have Sinfield back in action on Thursday, but Senior is happy to continue as captain if required. "I enjoy it," he said. "You feel like there's a bit more pressure and you have to do that little bit more. It showed last Friday. I felt like I was running all over the field, at one point – I ended up defending in the right-hand centre. You feel like you need to put your hand up a little bit more."[/i

Yet last week you were happy to accuse him of not doing any of the above.

My opinion on how Both played in their respective games doesn't change at all.

So in your view Keith Senior is wrong in his self evaluation?

Is that because he isn't a good judge or is it because (unlike Sinfield) he is being deceitful?

I just don't agree because that's not what i saw or think.
Having played the game mate albeit at a very amateur level and the other code what you see whilst playing isn't always what those on the sidelines see like i say i stand by the opinion i posted and i'm sure Keith will stand by his and hardly lose sleep over what some fan thinks

There are enough"special" fans around thank you very much.

After he's plugged the jump leads into the mains and connected them to his bonce to get himself up

I wonder what Sinfield &/or Senior will make of their respective efforts tonight?
One brainstorm from Sinfield followed by a sublime pass to McGuire for the match settling try.

Every genius has a flaw.

I'll settle for him having the occasional flaws.

If you watch Sinfield that off-load is amazing. As he's going to ground he looks left first, then back to the right, then flicks the ball out of the back of the hand to McGuire. All of this as he's heading to the deck in the collision. Stop for a moment and think about what your natural, physical reaction would be in that circumstance. Would you have the awareness to look both ways and ensure the primary focus of your arms was to ensure they were free to pass rather than break your fall?
