Andy Farrell or Sir Kevin Sinfield
Both captained their side with distinction winning every major club honour possible. Players with different attributes but who was the best?

There isn’t any question who the better loose forward was. It’s not even close between the pair with Farrell being streets ahead.
Who was the better player would be the better question. In week to week rugby Farrell would again be comfortably in front but you just can’t knock Sinfields record when the big games came round.

Farrell and Sculthorpe were both better players than Sinfield.
All three were class acts though.

Neither. Sculthorpe was better than both.

Absolutely no comparison. Pan face Farrell by a country mile. Sorry, 300 country miles. Silly poll. Should be Farrell v Sculthorpe of which there would be an argument for both

If by the best you mean who could perform at the highest level then neither.
Sculthorpe was the only one who could cut it against the Aussies and earn their respect.
Before their respective supporters get their knickers in a twist though they both made enormous contributions to their club at Super League level and as a club fan that's what you really need and want, someone who is consistently good and makes your team better. They both did that, not only good but durable - nobody is any good sitting in the stands.

Don’t agree. Farell always stood up against the Aussies. As for sinfield, they just pat him on the head

O'Loughlin at his peak was better than both and unlike those two he always showed up at International level!!

Not a debate this one, Farrell by a country mile. A better debate would be Farrell/Hanley/Sculthorpe. I also rate O'Laughlin higher than Sinfield as an out and out 13.

Sinfield is an Enigma for me. Not the best player in any position he played in, but for leadership and captaining a side superb. We have been blessed with some phenomenal loose forwards in recent years with O'Loughlin, Sculthorpe and Farrell. Sculthorpe being the best in my eyes
