As the noughties come to an end, who would be your player of the decade for the Rhinos?
Who would it be excluding the Rhinos?
For me it would be Keith Senior for the Rhinos. Sinfield would be a very close second for me tho.
Keiron Cunningham for the rest.
I've looked at players who played the majority of their career in the period & excluded those who've only recently started playing.

For Leeds, as you say either Senior or Sinfield

Other than that I'd probably go for Morley. Although Cunningham and Peacock are close.

Sinny all the way for me. A truly brilliant captain and a great player. We are so lucky to have him in our team.

got to be Sinfield.

When you consider the whole decade it's a pretty tough choice.
For the Rhinos i'd go for Sinfield but Senior is very very close imo.
As for the rest Peacock and Cunningham and i can't decide between the 2.

It has to be a saints player right?

Player of the decade = Sinfield

Overseas player of the decade = Big Ali

Without any shadow of any doubt, Richie Spedding!

Case closed!









After him, to single out anyone player is tough. We have been privileged to watch players of the caliber of Burrow, Webb, McGuire, McDermott, Sinfield, Senior, Lauitiiti, Harris, Ellis, Peacock, and Morley all ply their trade at Headingley in their prime over the last 10 years, but would they have had the same impact in Superleague without the players around them who don't get the recognition like Furner, Ward, Walker, Mathers, Bailey, Ablett, Diskin, JJB, Donald, Hall, and Smith. The players towards the end of that list have have been mainstays in the side over the course of the recent successes!

Sinfield.

Toni Carroll for me. Some might be suprised but I was so exited knowing I was going to Headingley to watch him in action. Sensational payer. Sinfield 2nd and Keith in 3rd.

Overall I think it's probably Sculthorpe, such as dirty player but there's no doubting his skills.

No, but as arguably the most or second most successful team of the decade then to choose a Saints player isn't off the wall.
This is not serious just a bit of fun so lighten up eh?

(I think it was a tongue in cheek reference to the man of steel awards...)
