Quote: DaveO "Lies, damned lies and statistics. With a grand total for five tries (six if you count the one scored for GB). Kicked a lot of goals (91) but if you can't see he wasn't international class and Lockers is, then that is your problem not mine.
As it was he got a lot of votes but I am certain a lot of people who did vote for him outside of Leeds were voting for RL, not Sinfield. I think that is a shame because if social media can be enlisted to promote a sport (even if it is ours) as opposed to an individual when the award is supposed to be for the individual then if SPOTY had any value in the first place that diminishes it.
If he'd not opened his mouth in days and weeks leading up to it I think Fury would have walked it and your hero would have been an also ran.'"
In your earlier post you said RL supporters would only vote for a great player and never just a good club player and Sinfield would not be supported outside Leeds as in your opinion he is not a great player.
So now after the huge support shown for Sinfield, to avoid accepting your opinion was wrong, you not only suggest the voting was only for RL and not the man and therefore was a "shame" as it somehow demeaned the value of SPOTY!
Did you ever consider much of Murray's support was because he was a Scot?
Thankfully more than a quarter of a million fair RL fans didn't share your predjudice.
