Yes Sinfields 4 grand final wins certainly show he has been with some terrible coaching staff

for every year

surprised to see Ridell get a mention seems to be a decent bloke, who has had a steady first season in SL. Glad Locky gets a mention by a few, means he is doing his job right.

Since platt and thorman have got more mentions they must be doing there job right as well then?

His job is to be so bad that no other teams want him?

Some players are being selected because they are gash, some selected because they annoy the people selecting them.

If you cannot see what Locky brings to a team then you are looking through very bias glasses.

Platt and Thorman are just poor players.

Personally i dont think frodo is a bad player, he is a very good tackling workhorse, but he doesnt have much in the way of creativity and i think he is overrated by those who think he is more than a tackling machine.

Fair comment certainly of his play for the mid point of his career after his knee injury prior to that he was a good ball handler.

Knee injury set him back but the last 2 years playing in a better side than he has he has opened up to be more creative. His performances against the Kiwis were superb going forward. Without doubt though his defence is the strongest part of his game, and in this department he is top class.

1. Mathers
2. Penney
3. Platt
4. Littler
5. Reardon
6. Thorman
7. Deacon
8. Bailey
9. Gene
10. Sculthorpe
11. Worrincy
12. K Pryce
13. Langley

Slightly worrying that 5 of that 13 play for Bradford!

I can't believe players like Sinfield and O'Loughlin have been included in any sides. They'd walk a game at any superleague club and are the best 2 loose forwards in superleague. It also made me smile when O'Loughlin was described as a workshorse who isn't creative because he's the leading assist maker from loose forward in superleague 2 ahead of a player people would call a creator in Sinfield.

Guys like Thorman, Littler, K Pryce, Platt etc being included in sides i can totally get as for varying reasons they're poor but Sinfield and O'Loughlin.......unbelievable.

Either would be Wakeys best signing in decades.

O'Loughlin is firmly in the former bracket. There's nothing annoying about him. I quite enjoy watching him play, particularly against my own team.



It's clear to me what he brings. However I am able to see the negatives that he brings as well as the positives.

he isnt one of the top two loose forwards in the country though, purdham, cooke (when he's played there) and flannery are better for a start. Assists dont neccersarily mean a player is creative, breaking the line then passing the ball or offloading in the tackle and it leading to a try arent creative as compared to a cut out pass or a well placed kick. He would get into my own teams side, but not as a loose forward, he would be put in the second row, as he is no better than what we already have there.

O'Loughlin would be wakeys best signing in decades? i dont think so.
