dont rate him, never have, I would not him playing for us. He come good in the last couple of matches,were was he when they were losing games
every other week. I know were i would put the golden boot, up his golden A----e

Where did I say I didn't rate? He's a very good player, but far far, from best player in the world.

Bad news for England in the world cup (I wouldn't pick him but he's a cert). The Aussies will absolutely love dumping the world's best on his booty.

even rhinos fans must see this as some sort of joke

No doubt he had a great game in the GF, and maybe he is under rated. Even so. Would you rate him above the likes of Cameron Smith? Jonathan Thurston? it's a pretty endless list so I wont go on.



I don't think he's a bad player. Infact I think he's a very good player and good at what he does, I just think it's laughable that having a few good games towards the end of the season has seen him named the best player in the world this season, when anyone who watches RL on a regular basis could probably name a large number of people both in SL and the NRL who could have been named ahead of him.

An average player wins 'man of match' at Grand Final, automatically becomes best player in World ?

Yes, that's whats happened here.

The fact Sinfield has been brilliant for about 8 seasons is irrelevant. I wonder whether some people on here even watch the bloody game.

It certainly read that way to me, He was the most effective player during the play offs, arguably the most important and difficult time of the season. Sometimes an aggregation of less obvious talents can add up to more than the sum of their parts.

Frankly he was amazing in the play offs,is he the deserved winner? maybe, maybe not, but for me Sam T wasn't the MOS this season, where as i would have given it to him last season, so go figure.

There is a counter point though, Sam T was brilliant at times for you lot last year, yet in the CC SF he was utterly awful, so it could be said he is a flat track bully. ( not a point i subscribe to, just playing devils advocate).

I don't see Sinfield as much as leeds fans do or probably as much as the panel who awarded this to him do, i suspect neither do you.

What i did see, is what he did in the play offs to you and us, he was amazing a real standout, he has conducted himself with nothing but dignity and professionalism since he was a kid and is an inspiration to all who want to play rugby league.

To me these things matter in a player, Thurston and Smith do not always conduct themselves particularly well.

Are they better, more talented players ? Yes they are.

Did they have more influence on the success of their club as an individual than sinfield did last year? No i don't think they did.

Twas a warning to those who follow... Jeff is entitled to his view, even you can say what you wish. But that does not mean that either of you are wrong. What can be expected is that if the award is questioned, that person will be automatically deemed wrong...

Thank you for proving my point. Seems i was right at least....

T'was nought but a joke, however if you think me mocking Jeff's assertion that O'Loughlin is 10x the player Sinfield is proves your point then I think you need to restate your point - or explain how on any level that assertion can be described as anything other than delusional. (Please note I'm not saying anything about anyone being bitter, I'm not slating O'Loughlin, I'm not even saying Sinfield is better than him - although cards on the table I do think that he is)
