I'd rather pay as much as we can for one class half back like Croft and do our best either from juniors or around SL for the other than end up with two blah NRL halfbacks. The money spent on a bang average NRL halfback could get you a very decent forward instead.

Wigan and Sts have managed to produce halfbacks themselves who are as good or better than any NRL imports we're likely to get. That's the challenge for us to meet.

I'm also not convinced by Sinfield Jr, but he really hasn't had anything like a chance to prove himself in a side which isn't falling to bits around him. I'd like to see him play at least a few games when the rest of the team is firing, and ideally get a run of games. Otherwise he's got very little chance to develop, whatever his surname. I'm not sure Kevin would have looked that good at stand off in a side as bad as the ones Jack has generally played in with the same (lack of) experience as Jack.

It was interesting to hear Ash Handley say on his lotpod interview that Sinfield regularly rips the first team to shreds in training. There is no doubt that he has talent, it's just a question of whether he has the necessary physicality to mix it at top level. This next year or two will tell.

Aren't all our players superstars on the training field?

Sinfield needs a season long loan to a decent championship team.


I would agree but I don’t think we have the capacity. Even when miller is fit there’s an argument he’s one injury from first choice.

Well of course training is one thing and playing is another, but it was interesting to hear Handley pick him out. It wasn't as if he was asked what he thought of Jack Sinfield, he was ask who impressed him most in training? He could have picked anyone. Was also interested to hear him speak about how seriously Croft takes things and how he prepares for clutch moments. It's a pretty good watch and far superior to the box2 stuff which JJB spoils by letting his ego get in the way, in my opinion.

Looking forward to it. It was good to hear him (in the clip I saw) play down his stats and talk about his weaknesses. Hopeful that we'll see a much more rounded version of him this year.
