If he was looking for reasons as to Sinfield's poor performances he could have actually tried looking into it and using his knowledge of the game to back that up.
Its not necessarily about form.
Sinfield is the major playmaker at Leeds, at International level he hasnt been until he's been moved to hooker and can have more of an impact out of dummy half than at loose forward, without taking the ball away from the 2 half backs.

Jonh couldve come on and said Sinfield lacks pace to be a half back, which is probably true, but no he made up some rubbish about mental strength out of nowhere with nothing whatsoever to back it up and then is wondering why everyone is suggesting he doesnt know what he's on about.

Do not confuse having a different opinion of a player to you as bitterness.

Why would i be bitter exactly what is there to be bitter about?

Were you watching last night? Sinfield played half the game at 9 and the other half at 13 both equally impressive. The difference is that the game plan last night was for Sinfield to be the main playmaker. The number on his back made no difference. Whether he plays at acting half back or central organiser he is a class act. He also was our real leader on the field last night constantly talking and encouraging the other players and calling the moves.

The he gets in ahead of your curly haired rag doll.

Locky is not a hooker, there is room in the team for both of them.

Neither is Sinfield. It just turns out he's a better hooker than any of the 'proper' British hookers in SL.

Are you seriously telling me this














Doesnt come across as just a tad bitter? Even after 2 very good performances against the 2 best nations in the world?
You seem happy enough to condemn Burrow and McGuire on less.

It comes over as a realistic assessment of some of our current and past Internationals.

As i have said all the way through I also rate these players as Sl players but not as International players.

Sinfield may yet prove me wrong if he is able to continue with his current level of performance.

Although i dont think his performance against Australia was fantastic, he was poor in the fist half like most of the rest of them but much better when moved from 13 so i would say he has thus far had a game and a half's worth of good performances. Long may it continue England need it to as his style at hooker complements our 2 exciting halves and aids them with there deficiencies.

No sorry I forgot, only Tomkins and O'Loughlin are rated as International players and have the correct mentality for it.


Which is a higher level of performance than Tomkins so far. Surely now Myler should be brought back in to replace him. Thats how it works at international level.


Except Tomkins


Im sorry, was he playing all game at hooker last night?


Thats the first sensible thing you've said regards Sinfield on this thread.

Now you are simply making things up, unless these are your opinions as i have said no such thing of much of what you have put in this post.

Spot on.

Can you post more often, you make me think there are guys out there who actually undesrstand the game they are watching.

You need to understand you lost all credibilty some time ago.

No there isn't. There are several players who are way ahead of O'Loughlin in the pecking order for the 13 jersey internationally.

We will see.

We ARE seeing.

How so, SOL is unavailable due to injury, when they are both fit both will play for England, assuming Sinfield can maintain his new found international form.

what has S'OL done to dislodge Burgess?

You might as well have begun your post, once upon a time. When O'Loughlin's body is finally able to handle international rugby he will have Sinfield, Burgess, Ellis and Wilkin ahead of him.

like i said time will tell.

i do find it amusing that you are getting so precious about Sinfield and trying to generate a reaction by bringing SOL's selection into it on a thread about Danny McGuire.

You should get out more.

il take that into consideration thanks for the advice precious

The person who says Sinfield lacks mental strength is accusing me of making things up

You don't find it amusing. You're rubber room material.

Just remind me who brought Sinfield into this thread with a thinly veiled attempt to belittle McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield. Yet strangely you have not suggested any players from your own team who lack this "mental strength". I do believe if Ellis still played for us you're that clueless you'd attempt to find a way to suggest he's not up to it as well

Mainly due to the fact non have justified selection apart from Tomkins and Locky.

Tomkins we do not yet know enough about at this level and Locky is injured so nothing more to say.

Burrow. McGuire, Sinfield, Wilkin, Pryce, Wellens etc have all failed at International level to produce the form they have at club level. Sinfield may well come out of this group if he continues to perform like he has over the course of his last 120 minutes International form.
