sorry for deleting your review well written but didn't want to fill pages on quote

I take it you found it frustrating that Sinfield didn't take a grip of the game as I would expect him to do, we are lacking a loose forward to take this leader role since Hanley retired from the GB squad at the moment I don't see anybody yet to replace Sinfield

Sinfield again looked a bad of nerves at international level and didn't stamp his authority on a game bar a 10 minute spell just after halftime.

He like many others will have to step their games up miles of we're not to be totally embarrassed next week. He dithers on the ball too long at this level and i really worry about his safety next week.

He needs to start being more decisive in his decision making.

both are hard working loose forwards. however sinfield puts in 40 pitter patter tackles a game but sean puts in tackles that hurt. Sinfield has a better kicking game but we need a loose that will stick it to the aussies. the fact we need a loose to compensate for the kicking game of our halves shows what a poor state the british game is in.

You've hit the nail on the head with the last sentence, it's the reason why DJ is a better first choice lock than Gallen for Aus as Lockyer and Thurston are doing their job properly, and even then they still have Cam Smith to contribute as well.

Infact it's a huge general difference in the game over there and here. Hookers add the extra kicking on the whole, whereas so many of ours are scooters

Has anybody from the World Hide & Seek Championships found Sinfield yet ?

Sinfield will be involved because Smith will want a kicker.

TBH he was poor, but he isn't the problem. There are several others ahead of him in the need to be dropped queue.

I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here but I think the problem with Sinfield at International level might not be him, but the attitude of the team around him towards him.
At Leeds he is the captain and has the full backing and respect of his team mates, allowing him to play the style of Rugby that he does (after all Leeds half backs don't exactly have a kicking game). But at international level he is just a everyday player who may or may not have the teams full backing and respect after all Leeds aren't the most liked team amongst SL.
Just one point was in the warm up the camera's where on him the team did 3 passing drills and didn't give the ball to him once, and him seemed to say FFS pass me the ball, (and that was in the warm up. )

this proves to all Reading your posts without doubt you know nothing about the Leeds halfbacks or the way Leeds play but more importantly you know absolutely nothing about the game of rugby league!

But to be fair, both Sinfield and McGuires kicking game was very poor last night, wasn't it?

We also had a scrum half in there that was supposed to "guide us around the park"

I bet Gregory, Edwards and Hanley were sat shaking their heads in shock at to how poor a midfield trio (as a team) were.

Don't be silly.

Everything in the garden is rosy.

The CC is working.

RL in this country has never been better.


We are awash with talent, and if some defect to RU then so be it, we have more than enough to replace them.

thought sinfield and mcguire played and kicked well! thought myler did most of the kicking that was poor! but thought a lot of pressure that was put on our kickers came from roby who simply has crap dummy half distribution

Thought roby, Moore, graham, burgess, Westwood, shenton, myler and briscoe were the players that really need to have a look at themselves.

Maguire was shocking

To say Graham needs to look at himself is laughable he looked more dangerous with ball in hand than any of the so-called half backs. and he had good go forward
