I agree with you. Overrated. No great loss. Jeremy Smith would have shown him up. It might even be a good thing. I'm still not convinced by Widdops kicking game and if crapbanana picks Lomax and he chokes we will need Sinfields kicking or we will get hammered.

But Sinfields never kicked well in an England shirt. Saying that he's probably never been playing in the right position either.

I think if Brough doesnt play then Sinfield has to.
Ive only seen the first half from the Wire/Leeds game but Peacock if continuing in that form has to start with Graham, to offer us some form of presence. Roby picks himself. Back 3 of Ellis, Westwood and Sinfield if no Brough or Ellis, Westwood & Heighington if there is.
I think we need to have more faith in our HB's than reverting to having a LF who's not quite a second rower, and not quite a Stand Off.
I'd go with Heighington, Ellis + Westwood as 11,12 + 13.
HB's likely to be Chase + Widdop, with Tomkins at FB. If we had a hooker like Cam Smith, or Michael Monaghan I'd feel there was enough creativity, but Roby isn't that style of hooker. Try those combinations in a warm up game, if we feel we need a player with a bit more of a kicking game, I'd rather we put Brough in the halves rather than Sinfield at LF.

Why? I didn't see the likes of Mal Reilly, Steve Norton, Ellery Hanley, Paul Sculthorpe or George Nicholls every week either, but it was clear that they were outstanding No 13s. Mr Niggle is not.

It's funny how lots of people think Lockers is overrated. Apart from the England coaches that is.
