Don't think that is going to change. He hasn't shown he can impose himself on games for St Helens, so playing for England isn't going to be any different. He did a good job though, solid in defence and always has potential when he gets the ball due to his pace.

I dunno mate, I remember a bad pass from Sinfield, and a bad pass from Shenton (IIRC) in the dummy half role which I immediately attributed to Sinfield when I don't think it actually was him.

Was it the one where the dummy half was about 5 or 10m from the Kiwi line, and roughly in the centre of the pitch, then cobbed a rubbish pass about 5m behind the first reciever? It looked like a planned move, but either the first receiver was simply in the wrong place or the pass was pants?

Edit - I'm worried I've got this bass-ackwards now - I was rather drunk watching the game!

Yeah, the ball went from the middle(ish) of the pitch out to the right, behind all the players and Briscoe ended up getting tackled about 25m out. (IIRC)

Its not essential to my point though, so I don't want to dwell on it and and sound like I'm bagging Sinfield.

Gaah, this is going to really bug me until I get to watch a repeat of the match now!

Sinfield. Stevo commented upon it at the time. Whether Shenton threw a bad one or not I don't know, but the Sinfield one was obvious.

As for Sinfield at hooker, Rogues, I haven't denied he played a good game there. In fact, even on the Leeds board - and this is rare for me - I have praised him for his game at hooker. He should play there again on Saturday. However, Roby has his role and his distribution and passing generally was fine at the weekend. He also made good yards. One example that springs to mind is when Crabtree did an amazing offload from inside a tackle of about five Kiwis strong. Roby read it, was there, and SCOOTED about 15 yards up field. Every member of a team has a role to play and so long as they are playing that role with commitment and to the best of their ability, I don't see how they can be criticised. Nor should they be.
