Relook at the Asotasi against Warrington try Ormsby just left him for dead. Sometimes I think you are blinded to his faults. I doubt that counted as a missed tackle as he didn't really lay a finger on him?'"
That try was because of Achurch and Ablett. I notice you don't say these same with Ablett, yet what you describe happens a lot with him. Rather than blind to faults, could it not be that you just look to any excuse? As I said the stats and what happens differs to what you say. Sure there may be instances, but those same instances occur with others that you choose to ignore.
I agree with you by the way defending out wide. I completely disagree when in the middle.

| I think most if not all would agree Sinfield's days of first choice halfback and especially getting away with defending out wide are over. However playing and defending in the middle at LF or in my opinion at hooker is still a good option. ..
The way he has been unceremoniously dumped does make me wonder if there is an unspoken mutual agreement to use him sparingly this season. (It can't be good for Sinfield himself to be playing every week - especially in the forwards - to be then playing on straight into a season of RU.) Out of respect for the man and what he has achieved for the club i wouldn't have a problem with that.

You asked me to give an example of Sinfield's defensive liabilities - I gave you one you didn't ask me to comment on Ablett or Achurch.
Sinfield is the first person Ormsby approaches if he makes the tackle the play ends - Ormsby runs past him, I appreciate you didn't see or want to see that but it is the reality. I am with you on other player's faults Ablett has been terrible this year - although he was much better against the Giants - and I am not a big fan of Delanney, spends too much huffing and puffing in back play.
The point I have tried to make and you still haven't really responded - if Sinfield plays how do you stop him controlling the attack, by your own admission he is too slow to play this role? He has had 20 years of playing with his own ball he isn't going to give up that role easily. Can't see him playing a JJB, Stevie Ward, Ablett role in forwards can you?

| Since the announcement of his departure, when he has played I haven't noticed him "hogging the ball". When he came on vs Saints he didn't do it. Would rather pick him and see how it pans out......if he then "hogs the ball" then fair enough it's a valid point. But not picking him because he'll POSSIBLY hog it is ridiculous.
If Sutcliffe is going to develop then wouldn't playing games alongside Sinfield help him? To see those little things, decisions, leadership wise out there. Quite a few of Sutcliffe's appearances in 2013 and 2014 came when Sinfield was injured so he hasn't actually played a significant amount of his games with Sinfield on the pitch.

In practice there isn't always much difference if you opt for a ball playing 13, as opposed to the wrecking ball 13. But yes, he's going to be a big lad and plenty of strength etc, but his footwork is that of a half back, and I'd like to see him in the 6 shirt next season.

If McGuire can keep these recent performances going then i would like to see him stay on longer than another year.
We should find out very soon what is Happening with Burrow too i reckon.
