Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"Bollox. You quoted my direct response to criticism of Wilkin. I was saying in that post that Sinfield did make mistakes - one big one, actually (passing to the opposition isn't generally a skill we encourage!) - but I wasn't criticising him for that. I was praising all the team's effort, including Sinfield and Wilkin. I wasn't getting into petty, ridiculous club squabbles as you seem to be doing.
I'm not going to glorify Sinfield because RL is a team sport and it took the whole 17 to pull off that win against NZ. But while I have recognised that Sinfield is human (and he is, honest!), I have not criticised him anywhere. I have consistently said all over these boards that he played well. As did 16 other men. That's why we won.'"

You asked me to spot one post and I did. Now you are wriggling when proven wrong
Your praise of Sinfield is qualified praise which appears to stick in your throat. Sure they all played well but Sinfield was oustanding so just to say " he played well as did 16 other men" is just churlish.
You jumped in to condem with personal comments, my answer to another post which had implied Sinfield could pass as well as Wilkin. To imply Wilkins efforts (15-20 minutes) against NZ compared with Sinfield's (80 minutes) is fatuous.
