Quote: Biff Tannen "Here they come!!

ok, not his best game ever,but IMO he was playing behind a beaten pack in the most part (JP and Kylie aside).He had a hand in both Leeds tries,kicked all his goals as usual and went about his business in an efficent way as he always does.He was certainly better than Widdop who made several errors.

He is not going to rip through teams like Tomkins,Slater,Barba etc..this has been stated many times before.

The best team won tonight,no doubt about it.But people who are still bitter about KS winning the Golden Boot and using it as a stick to beat him with when he doesn't produce some Wally Lewis like magic are very sad IMO.'"



Sinfield is slower than Wellens IMHO.

I'm not bitter about him winning the golden boot. I haven't even mentioned it. What i'm saying is it was a tight game, he wasn't behind a beaten pack, otherwise Leeds would have been hammered. That's just an excuse. Leeds finished their sets in about the same place as Melbourne, it was a fairly even game. Where the the dominating kicks? Why didn't he control the team and push them round the pitch?

I'm simply concerned as an England fan that our captain produced nothing in a WCC final. He's the stand-off, he's meant to create.

Typical RL fans.

Instead of reflecting on what was a really tough game between two top sides, providing a great advert for RL - they decide to take pot shots at a player who they (deep down), would love to have at their club.

Sinfield wasn't at his very best tonight, but that's partly due to Melbourne doing a 'job' on him, and partly down to him setting ridiculous standards in his performances during the playoffs.

Jealousy innit.

Err no !

Sinfield is, according to some clowns at a magazine in Yorkshire IIRC, "the Worlds best player".

He clearly isn't .

Wouldn't surprise me if Melbourne did actually, how late was that hit by Ryles (I think it was him) on Sinfield in the 1st half? I could've made a cup of tea inbetween the time Sinfield released the ball and the time he got hit.

Yep, they controlled Sinfield and the ruck (thus Burrow); Leeds then only really had their excellent power plays left to throw at them and it wasn't enough.

Spotted McGuire limping at times during the 2nd half, this didn;t help our cause. Also think a lack of impact from the subs bench again hasn't helped, it's something i've mentioned before on SouthStander about the starters having to/or being asked to do too much. Achurch came on, gave away a high shot and then together with McShane fell off Bromwich for their 2nd try. He was quickly hauled off for Peacock to return. who I thought was great but his efforts caught up towards the final minutes.

We seemed to be having some joy attacking their edges from around the halfway line in the first half but in the 2nd didn't really try shifting it wide in the same field position and it was more 'up-the-middle' round that area.

Didn't think he was that bad, him and Mcguire were good in the first half I thought. Overall I thought he got the better of Widdop. To be honest I can see Widdop really struggling when Cronk retires.

Exactly, he wasn't that bad at all.

The guy who started the thread has a clear agenda / club bias / jealousy, pretty obvious really.

If his actual agenda was to flag up his worries about creativity in England's halves, then he'd have mentioned Widdop too.

Pathetic really.

No excuse at all.i said, the best won.

He was controling the team and was TRYING to push them round the pitch.If you did watch the game in detail you would have seen this.in the first twenty minutes or so the Storm defence was right in our faces and our forwards could not make yards whatsoever and it was only our power plays on the last that got us up the pitch.was this KS's fault? the pack was dominated,certainly in that period.I think it took nearly 25 minutes for us to get a set in the Storm 25!

We did have more joy in the second half with some great surges from JP in particular and had a good few sets on their line late on where we couldnt break their defence.Maybe you could say he should have come up with some magic then,or you could just say it was superb defence by a well drilled team.I think we should all pay respect to the latter.Melbourne are a fine team and will take one hell of a side to stop them winning the NRL crown again this year.

It says a lot about the OP and other posters on this thread when they specifically choose to criticise Sinfield for tonight's game.

Much as it may pain me to admit, as a Hull FC supporter (and let's face it, we all hate Leeds), Sinfield is far and away the best thinking British player in the game. There simply is not another player who has his all-round vision and skill sets.

That can only be Canterbury Bulldogs, or South Sydney Rabbitohs or ... Sydney Roosters.
