Yet the first 4 didn't have to continually name him as captain, yet they did, and the last 3 continually selected him for England/GB.


Seriously? A Huddersfield fan? And you have the nerve to mock another team for having a mid-season dip?

I played, been watching for 23 years, coached/coaching service area,scholarship,Yorkshire, club and full time job, 10 years...I think Sinfield is outstanding!

What about Wally Lewis who voted for Sinfield in the Golden Boot comp a few years back and pleaded with the English coaching setup to build a team around him? Was he also brainwashed by the British media into his opinion of Sinfield?

There is no way Leeds would have won either the 2011 or 2012 titles without Sinfield in the team and captaining them. He has single handedly changed the destination of the last two SL titles. If you can't see what Sinfield does to inspire and lead his team and dictate play then I can only worry for the teams coached by you.

Sam Burgess was on telly saying it was a good decision.

Well that s it then. Case closed!

Seriously though, just because some don't agree with it, doesn't mean they are wrong does it? How many votes for different things in your lifetime has gone against your own vote? That doesn't make them wrong.

PS. imho I don't think he should of won it.

Dreadful decision orchestrated by the Yorkshire mafia controlling dedicated RL media in Britain. Sinfield is a very nice bloke and a decent player. GB? No! MOS, his peeers did not and have never recognised Kevin as the MOS. So at the age of 32, his peers have never awarded him the ultimate accolade. Yet, the Yorkshire media and some Yorkshire supporters seemingly know better.

Cameron Smith IMO was far more deserving. The ultimate contest in RL is Origin. Queensland are enjoying a record breaking domination of a true elite contest led series after series by Cam Smith. Smith plays in the elite domestic competition and is routinely recognised as the best 9 in Australia and accross the world. To lead the Storm to such a successful season after the club has had to be rebuilt and deal with the loss of several world class players.

British RL ought to be ashamed.

Perhaps the GB should have been terminated when Addidas pulled out

I daresay Sinfields peers knew nothing either when they did not award him MOS

My, my. What lovely green eyes you have dear.

I guess when you see unfairness you just stand back and applaud.

Top bloke

Tee hee.

It's funny because you're probably a Wiganer

Nah i just love listening to the aussies whinge. And when Sports commentators on the telly here say "who is this Kevin Sinfield anyway" actually says more about them than anything.

Absolutely nothing wrong with people having a different choice for best player. Its the anger, dismay and 'its embarrassing the sport' crowd that are tragic. If people think someone else should've won it then ok, but they dont need to OTT slate Sinfield for it (especially when he didn't exactly pick himself).

It's their magazine, they can pick who they like. If people honestly feel that strongly about it (which they dont, they just like to whine) then boycott the magazine or start your own.

See above...

It's funny how the Yorkshire Mafia have nominated a bloke from Lancashire as the best player in the world. It's easy to forget sometimes that Leeds Rhinos are led by someone who just so happened to be born in Oldham.

I find it hilarious that you go from claiming that the MOS is the ultimate accolade, only to then go on to sing the praises of [iThe ultimate contest[/i (I agree) which is the state of origin. Going by your logic doesn't that make Man of the Series the ultimate accolade that players can win?

Unfortunately because of where he is born Kevin Sinfield is excluded from appearing in rugby leagues greatest spectacle and if you was in charge (thankfully not) no one from England would ever win the Golden Boot unless god forbid an English born player as good as Kevin claimed residency after living down under for a number of years.

Cameron Smith has had a good year but Kevin Sinfield has had a better one. Both players can only play with what they've got on the rugby field and both have performed in matches when it mattered in their respective countries last year. Only Kevin Sinfield has performed better and his record in the play offs speak for itself. Yes Kevin was on the losing side in the challenge cup but that was one final lost out of three finals that he played in last year. Cameron Smith in comparison only gets to play in one final for his club and was once on the losing side in the state of origin.

Do we automatically start excluding Cameron Smith from the Golden Boot nominations because he didn't play in the world club challenge? The Yorkshire Mafia in your eyes probably have done just that this year and will do for many years to come

Actually forget what I've just wrote above. You wouldn't have the Golden Boot all together because it's no longer sponsored by Adidas. Well going by your logic we should drop rugby league all together because we're no longer as a sport able to produce players that are good enough to be associated with Adidas in the shape of a sponsored golden boot
