"Billy Slater is not an incredibly more skilful player than Kevin Sinfield"





Strong booze in London I see............

I agree and Inglis is no better then Chris Bridge

jaysus christ

Wonder what response it would have got on here if he was comparing him to Sean O'Loughlin?



Bet he would be applauded for his knowledge

FWIW - do you believe Slater to be a better open play kicker, with more tactical nouse, with a better creative eye than Sinfield?

Its like saying Sam Tomkins has a better eye for a gap than Petro Civoneciva then

about it

You're comparing apples to pears, but don't even understand why

Bet the Quins fans are happy hes the boss

Exactly the damn same

Aye, I'm sure that would be the case. My bad.

O'Loughlin is not in the same class as slater..niether is Sinfield

He's still talking bollards though, isn't he? If you're honest.

I fully understand that you'd rather turn this into a hypothetical critique of the Wigan fans, but the reality is that nearly every RL fan on Earth would rather have Billy Slater in their team than Kevin Sinfield. A painful truth possibly, but a truth nontheless.

I take your point about how hard it is to compare players when they play in totally different positions but McDermott is still talking abit daft.

Slater is one of the best 5 players in the world whereas Sinfield is not.

Think you've missed the point

Brian McDermott has apparantly said that "Billy Slater is not an incredibly more skilful player than Kevin Sinfield"

I'm agreeing with him

Faster, more dangerous running at speed, better support player, more flair - but more skilful? Probably not

Who would you rather have in your team? Totally different question

But I am commenting on McDermott's quote. You aren't.

Where did he mention Sean O'Loughlin then?
