I played in the same high school team as him. Very reliable at fullback.
Only problem with him being 5"9 is if someone outjumps him ala Ainscough. Otherwise he's a good player. |

I've never really understood this aversion to short-d wingers. When you're defending a high kick as a winger, you're generally going to be outjumped no matter how tall you are because the chasers are running towards the ball whereas you have only got a standing jump so unless you're spring-heeled Jack (or Pat Richards  ) you're likely to be second to the ball anyway. Jason Robinson was only around 5'7" at the most and he's one of the greats of the modern game. Granted he was a one-off but it goes to show that being slightly shorter than average doesn't necessarily mean that you can't play on the wing.
It's more a question of temperament and being calm under pressure than basic height. Look at James Foster at Saints in the last few games. He's been solid as a rock under high kicks and he can't be much more than 5'9" |

Mr chairman said the money from the league leaders prize will be re-invested in youth. MAYBE THIS IS WHAT HAS FUNDED THIS MOVE?

5'9" is bang on average height.
We can't all be Pat Richards.

Heard a strong rumour from a good source yesterday that Sinfield is seriously considering a double your money offer to switch codes.

If that happens, you can guarantee the RFL will knock the salary cap on the head. |

Yep. It clearly needs to be adjusted, but if they lose a darling like Kevin. It will be binned. |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

Any club offering Sinfield that type of money in Union would want their heads testing. He would have no natural position in Union, less so than Faz.
He has nothing in his game that would in my opinion see a Union club want to invest in him.
I would be stunned if this were true. |

I've seen the 606 rumour about their being a 'big announcement' after Saturday. I just thought it might be the announcement of who is MOS. |

How did you come to that conclusion?  Hardly a 'big announcement' from the club besides the fact that MOS is always done before the Grand Final. |
