The lad deserves it, if not for the amazing career he's had.'"

An odd choice to say the least.
He was fantastic at times for Leeds last season, but to say no-one in the sport was better in 2012 is incorrect.

| Quote: upsetzombie "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.'"
I don't disagree with his performances in the playoffs, and even backed him to win the Harry Sunderland award [Which netted me a few quid] But surely you can see he is by no means the best player in the world? If we want to see this as some sort of 'Lifetime Acheivment Award' then fair enough, but to label him the best player playing rugby league on this planet right now is, frankly, ridiculous.
Great captain, as I said, probably the best captain of the SL era for all he and Leeds have done. But it still doesn't make him the best player in the world. |

I think this award is similar to when Faz won it in that you could argue to the cows come home over him not being the best player in the world etc, BUT his influence over his team was huge and a world class contribution, probably over and above any other player in the world, and as such who is to say he does not deserve it, despite not actually being the best player in the world in real terms.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

I'm so happy that a Lancastrian has won this award

Didn't Farrell only get it as he was quitting the game and to fool the RFU into thinking they were getting the "Best Player in the World"? Sir Kev has a few good years in him yet!

I had this very conversation earlier jonh, with a good friend who is a Leeds fan.
I'm never sure whether he is an "Avid leeds fan, or a "Rabid Leeds" fan. Can anybody help with this?

For me the best playr in the world in terms of talent is Greg Inglis.
I have just read through the list of winners over the years, two stand out as being excellent players but never ever being worthy of being called 'worlds best player'
Andrew Farrell, and Anthony Minichello, oh and maybe Garry Schofield so make that three. |

He has gone from perhaps an under rated player to by far the most over rated player in a day. If you could choose any player in the world to sign for your club, would it be Kevin Sinfield?

He's achieved a lot. He's a quality player and he's a great captain. But I don't think it's an insult to say that he's not the best in the world...

The fact Sinfield has been brilliant for about 8 seasons is irrelevant. I wonder whether some people on here even watch the bloody game.'"
Well if we at Wigan could choose any of your players.
I wouldn't pick Sinfield.
Found to be far too wanting at international level.
I would choose Burrows every time, the speedy little scamp. |

I think if you took say Widnes and added Sinfield they would win more games than if you took Widnes and added Inglis.
Inglis is a world class fullback, he is probably going to go down as a legend of the game, but Sinfield takes a whole side and lifts them to better, Inglis himself is just a top quality player.
If i could watch any player in the world, it would be Greg Inglis, if someone handed me £1.7m and said build a squad, I'd start with Kevin Sinfield. |

He is a very club good captain (the best in SL) and deserves recognition for that.
But best player in the world? Nowhere near. He is not even international class.

So why hasn't he raised the standard of our international team, for whom his performances have been patchy / mediocre. |
