And there you go again. Someone offers you their hand in agreement and because it only had five fingers, you failed to recognise it.

Here is a tip, I don't need someone to hold my hand to have an opinion.

Oh I’m sure your hands are more then occupied when you’re giving us your opinion.

Well I type with both of my hands, but look, don't get emotional over this.


You have an opinion and I dont care. Move on.

I think we remember players that have recently reited or are still playing.. i think a large part of the team are dead certs, radlinski, volcano, long, morley, cunningham, farrell, peacock and scuthorpe..

the other positions are debatable, we've had many quality centres, and stand offs throughout super league.. similary i found it difficult to pick another winger, there have been many of the same standard, dallas for example at wigan, but albert's try scoring record was excellent, although playing outside lyon, it would be..

lyon is another you could pick, but for me newlove was one of the greatest players to play the game, and is very much forgotten..

a position i did struggle for was the second rowers, you could argue farrell was a loose forward, and peacock was a prop..

That last Aussie ashes team was very poor. Had GB been a little bit better they could and should have won the series. IIRC all three tests were close. The current Aussie team has on paper a far better threequarter line than 2003 whilst if anything GB has gone backwards.

BTW GB vs Aus tests where Radlinski played would make interesting viewing for all those Wiganers claiming the guy was 'great' defensively. For so many to view him as the best British fullback of recent times is seriously depressing. Personally I'd pick the young Harris there. At least he'd be some kind of threat with the ball.

I like that!

Coulda, shoulda, woulda won the serfies...but lost 3-0!

...or it could just be that Farrell was better in more positions and could be moved more effectively to allow Sculthorpe to play in one of the two positions he was good in.

Seriously Damo, you need to start getting some perspective befor you post! You going to Headingly looking forward to watching one of your own players is not the qualifying criteria for claiming someone is "the best in the world"! Just name some of the centres who have played for Australia (for example) in the time Senior has plied his trade and you should come up with at least a dozen who were better than senior (good player though he is) In fact I'll start you off Inglis, Renouf, Gasnier, Cooper etc... or how about some that have graced SL like Gidley, Lyon, Connolly, Mogg etc. At no time was Senior ever the best in the world.

Making a fool of yourself there mate.

Senior was top quality,

There is no need to eulogise of players who were good but not great (Connolly, Mogg, Gidley, Cooper, Lyon) or pretend that the potential of a player like Inglis has been fulfilled

whether Senior was ever the best in the world is up to personal opinion, personally i dont, but he certainly deserves to be up there, and has contributed more to Leeds than any of the others you have listed have to their clubs

Like yours more than the rest

Anybody that puts James Lowes above Keiron Cunningham must be crazy and deluded. KC is the best hooker that as ever graced super league by a long distance.

What one are you laughing at then?

I agree that Senior has been top quality (check my initial post), but to claim he has ever been the best in the world is stretching it to say the least. He has made next to no impact at world level (check the number of offers he has had from the NRL for example) and to say 'Man of Steel' and head and shoulders above any player when he won it Lyon had less impact in that season than Senior in any of his is a ludicrous statement. What's more Lyon wasn't even 'the best in the world' when he achieved all that...merely the best in Super League.

As for Inglis, he made a monkey of Senior only last year and has improved since then! Are you seriously suggesting that because he hasn't yet, in all probability, fulfilled his potential that he isn't already better than Senior has ever been?

Mogg was outstanding at centre in the NRL gaining Queensland SOO representation. If you are judging him on SL form, you are again deluded as he's been playing SO over here and is still more dangerous/influential that Senior.

Connolly was seen as good enough to be signed by the aforementioned NRL clubs as well as being the best British centre over many seasons. Something Senior has failed to do on both counts. Even as recently as last year's World Cup he came out second best to Martin Gleeson who has been more effective throughout most of their careers together. That said, I will accept that this is a subjective opinion.

As for the likes of Gasnier etc....don't even go there!

Now, all this sounds a little 'anti-Senior'. Far from it. He's been an excellent servant for both Sheffield and Leeds and one of the best British centres for much of his carreer. Just nowhere near "the best in the world". And that's neither subjective nor opinion unless you happen to be from Leeds or deluded about the British game.
