How long has Maurice been a Steward?! Far right.

Sinfield up until last night has been outstanding. He along with the rest of the Leeds team were awful. He's a great leader who has lead a traditionally under achieving club to 3 SL GF wins, which he has been outstanding in all of them. He has a Lance Todd Trophy as well, so to say he can't handle pressure or big games is ridiculous. And one thing that is over looked (not just in Sinfield but in the modern day player) is his ability to stay fit. He hardly misses a game.

Sure, he will probably never make it as a test player, but thats not the end of the world some of the biggest RL legends were outstanding for their club, while being average for their country. Radlinski, Edwards, Newlove, David Ward etc.

On Flanders, lets not get carried away, he still has a lot to prove at SL and test level, he's been very solid for England/GB but lets not make him out to be Hanley (speaking of Hanley, he seems to have bagged himself a right milf

). Plus he has still yet to prove he can hack it in the really big games at club level.

Wheras Sinfield has, of course, turned in numerous Hanley-esque performances at test level.

I find sinfield a dirty player and the way he talks to the ref is appauling

MoM in one match out of a series..Nice...pity the opposition for that series was not at full strength.

Pundits are paid to talk..when or if he does what they talk of give us a shout.

Everybody knows Long cant kick.

He got through a lot of tackles...big deal....remember stats dont always show the true picture...did he come on at a point in the match where the opposition were tired...probably.

Tony smith has also picked Sinfield for the national side I believe.

Im not from wigan so its obvious I know feck all about the game.

Who said he had?

Eddited for accuracy.

Jesus. If you need any more weak excuses try 'The big Book Of I know Feck All About Rugby And Need Ridiculous, Straw-Clutching Excuses To Justify My Stance'. Should suit you to a 'T'.

You have highlighted some average achievements from o,loughlin in a series against a not at full strength NZ side. I have not once suggeted Sinfield is the consumate international. You got all giddy and started telling us that o'loughlin is a superb international when clearly he is not.

Its going to be a long 7 weeks.

Well given your penchant for re-writing history I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but only one of those 'achievements' mentioned was against NZ. The rest were against the Aussies. Still, always best not to let facts get in the way of your one-eyed gimp view of life. Now toddle off back under your stone, you're starting to bore me.
