I agree he is not an incredibly more skilful player, he comes up with some massive errors and his passing is not very consistent at all. I do not rate Slater as a very skilful player certainly nothing special in the skills department.
Physically is where Slated has the edge over every other athlete, he reads the game very well going forward and on kick returns, as well which is a good skill, but his passing lacks consistency, he has no kicking game to speak of and can get caught in defence his ability to read an attacking line is not great, see the Kiwi tries vs Australia which Hohiah i think it was chiming into the line. Also the world cup final.
Sinfield is a pretty skilful player, got a decent kicking game is versatile good passing game, strong defence, so he is a pretty skilful player, physically not nearly as gifted as slated and clearly not in the same class as him as a complete player.

Does anybody remember his comments last year before the season started?
Something along the lines of ''I'll be disappointed if we don't win Super League this season''
Weirdo.

Maybe I should change the title to "Brian McDermott talks bolleaux (as does Jonh) 
Comparing Sinfield to Slater is like comparing a Ford Focus to a Ferrari.
I cannot believe you are trying to convince people that Slater is gash.  |

lol - Sinfield is in the bracket of the the modern day rugby league star as trumped up by Sky every week - great club man but average all rounder who looks good in an extremely average league.
Of course we'd all love him at our club as he has the attributes to succeed in an everage league against p*** poor opposition.

I am not trying to convince anyone Slater is gash quite the opposite in fact he is a brilliant player, his main attribute is his physical prowess though not his skill level thats all.
Sinfield if a highly skilled player, Slater does not have in my opinion significantly greater skills than many top players, physically though he is streets ahead and that is what makes him so fantastic.
Skills to me would be ability to read a game, passing, kicking, tackling etc. Slater is World Class Sinfield is not that is obvious but a high level of skill is not what makes Slater so good.

The one when he took the dummy.
Jim Sullivan was once asked what his greatest achievement was in RL. His answer was "I never took a dummy". |

Tbh when Burgess had got easily past Petero Civoniceva and he was running at full tilt 5 metres from the line, would it have mattered?
Didn't work out quite the same the next time Burgess went for a dummy when he should have passed to Sam Tomkins did it? |
