In the past on the international stage Sinfield has gone missing, not even Sinfields biggest fan can argue that (he's not the only one) so people are going to debate what they see as better options. Personally I feel Sinfield is a great domestic player and offers more than anyone else we have as backup so he should play.

It does make me laugh how some people find they must insult others who have a different opinion to them, behind a PC screen.....

The reason Sinfield was picked was McNamara rightly or wrongly has built the side over 3 years and tried to get a settled squad basing that around Sinfield.

I think people just automatically think Sinfield has never stood out in international because he doesn't take the line on Like a 'traditional' stand off, so what? That's not his game, he's never played like that for Leeds yet has won 2 Harry Sunderland trophies and led his team to 6 GFs. As I said Sinfiekds international career has been nowhere near as bad as is made out, he's been MOM in his last 2 games against the world champions for a start.

He's not had a terrible international career but you wouldn't describe it as glittering either would you ?

Who does in a England shirt?

In a recent poll between FC Barcelona fans 2% said they'd be a better side without Messi.

That's the point, it's hardly like Sinfield has been so amazing every time he has pulled on an international jersey that nobody should ever be able to discuss his spot in the team.... Same as players in other positions

So why single him out then, again and again.
Where's the other 23 threads discussing other squad players?

I wonder how much rlthisrl has an influence on these anti-Sinfield threads.

It's a RL forum, people are going to discuss RL players on it. If you don't like a thread or stand to read some criticism on a Leeds player don't read it. Feel free to start a thread on any of the other 23 players and people will discuss that player too .......

Because i don't feel the need to go player bashing every time England lose.

I posted on here because it gets very boring seeing the same clueless morons posting the same drivel about the same player time and again.

But without singling anyone out, if Sinfield had had a pack around him last weekend that didn't give away stupid penalties or drop the ball at crucial times you'd all be praising him this week for leading England to a well earned victory against the Aussies.

You're joking, there would still have been a Sinfield bashing thread, for what ever reason Sinfield cops more flak than any other international I've known, it's funny that 5 international coaches, 3 GF winning coaches and his current peers all have a different view of Sinfield than the people who constantly snipe on here.

I can think of at least 6 reasons

I think sinfield was fantastic.

Tomkins was terrible.

I support Leeds.

Best player on the park was ferres.

If Brough had have been playing for England we would have won without breaking sweat.
