His usual position was loose forward , although he sometimes played both stand-off and hooker . Sinfield played his entire professional career with Leeds and is one of the most successful players in the Super League history , having captained the team to seven Super League championships and two Challenge Cup successes . He also earned individual accolades as winner of the Lance Todd Trophy ( 2005 ) , Harry Sunderland Trophy twice ( 2009 , 2012 ) and the Golden Boot ( 2012 ) , one of only four British-based players to win the latter . He holds records as the highest points-scorer in Super League history , the third highest points-scorer in British rugby league history , and Leeds ' record points scorer . Sinfield is also the only captain to have led a team to win three consecutive Super League titles . He won 26 caps for England , who he captained , and 14 caps for Great Britain . Sinfield switched to rugby union in 2015 and played one season for Yorkshire Carnegie . After his playing career ended he joined the Rugby Football League as rugby director .
Five-eighth or Stand-off is one of the positions in a rugby league football team . Wearing jersey number 6 , this player is one of the two half backs in a team , partnering the scrum-half . Sometimes known as the pivot or second receiver , in a traditional attacking 'back-line ' ( № 1-7 ) play , the five-eighth would receive the ball from the scrum half , who is the first receiver of the ball from the dummy-half or hooker following a tackle . The role of the five-eighth is often to pass the ball away from the congested area around the tackle , further out along the 'back-line ' to the outside backs , the centres and wingers , who have more space to run with it . Furthermore , players in this position typically assume responsibility for kicking the ball for field position in general play . The five-eighth is therefore considered one of the most important positions , often referred to as a 'play maker ' , assuming a decision-making role on the field . Over time , however , as the game has evolved , the roles of the two halves have grown more aligned and difficult to distinguish . Along with other key positions - fullback , hooker and scrum half - the five-eighth makes up what is known as a team 's spine . One book published in 1996 stated that in senior rugby league , the five-eighth and hooker handled the ball more often than any other positions . The Rugby League International Federation 's Laws of the Game state that the Stand-off half or Five-eighth is to be numbered 6 . However , traditionally players ' jersey numbers have varied , and in the modern Super League , each squad 's players are assigned individual numbers regardless of position .
Gareth Widdop ( born 12 March 1989 ) is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays as a stand-off or scrum-half for the Warrington Wolves in the Betfred Super League , and England and Great Britain at international level . Widdop previously played for the Melbourne Storm and the St. George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL . He won the 2012 NRL Grand Final with Melbourne and has played for the World All Stars .
Ryan Lee Hall ( born 27 November 1987 ) is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays on the wing for the Sydney Roosters in the NRL , and England and Great Britain at international level . He played his entire Super League career with Leeds , having won the 2008 , 2009 , 2011 , 2012 , 2015 and 2017 Super League Grand Finals with them . In 2014 he was part of the Leeds team that won the Challenge Cup and was the winner of the Lance Todd Trophy .
A wing is a type of fin that produces lift , while moving through air or some other fluid . As such , wings have streamlined cross-sections that are subject to aerodynamic forces and act as airfoils . A wing 's aerodynamic efficiency is expressed as its lift-to-drag ratio . The lift a wing generates at a given speed and angle of attack can be one to two orders of magnitude greater than the total drag on the wing . A high lift-to-drag ratio requires a significantly smaller thrust to propel the wings through the air at sufficient lift . Lifting structures used in water , include various foils , such as hydrofoils . Hydrodynamics is the governing science , rather than aerodynamics . Applications of underwater foils occur in hydroplanes , sailboats and submarines .
George Fairbairn ( birth unknown ) is a Scottish former rugby union and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s , and coached rugby league in the 1980s and 1990s . He played representative level rugby union ( RU ) for Borders , and at club level for Kelso RFC , and representactive level rugby league ( RL ) for Great Britain and England , and at club level for Wigan , winning the Man of Steel Award in 1980 , and Hull Kingston Rovers , as a goal-kicking fullback , and coached at representactive level rugby league for Scotland , and at club level Wigan , Hull Kingston Rovers , and Huddersfield . Fairbairn retired as England 's top point scorer in test football . In September 2012 , he was named in Hull Kingston Rovers ' greatest ever team .
Fullback ( or full-back ) is one of the positions in a rugby league football team . Typically wearing jersey number 1 , the fullback is a member of the team 's 'back-line ' ( No . 1-7 ) . The position 's name comes from their duty of standing the furthest back in defence , behind the forwards ( 8-13 ) , half backs ( 6 and 7 ) and the three-quarter backs ( 2-5 ) . Fullbacks are therefore the last line of defence , having to tackle any opposition players and regather the ball from any kicks that make it through their teammates . It is for this reason that the fullback is also referred to as the sweeper or custodian . Being able to secure high bomb kicks is a highly sought quality in fullbacks . Fullback is also one of the most important positions in attack , handling the ball nearly every set of six and often running into open space on the field . Therefore , together with the two half backs and hooker , fullback is one of the four key positions that make up what is referred to as a team 's 'spine ' . Because the fullback makes the most support runs , players in the fullback role complete more very high-intensity running than any other position . The Rugby League International Federation 's Laws of the Game state that the 'fullback ' is to be numbered 1 . However , traditionally players ' jersey numbers have varied , and in the modern Super League , each squad 's players are assigned individual numbers regardless of position .

A rugby league team consists of thirteen players on the field , with four substitutes on the bench . Each of the thirteen players is assigned a position , normally with a standardised number , which reflects their role in attack and defence , although players can take up any position at any time . Players are divided into two general types , forwards and backs . Forwards are generally chosen for their size and strength . They are expected to run with the ball , to attack , and to make tackles . Forwards are required to improve the team 's field position thus creating space and time for the backs . Backs are usually smaller and faster , though a big , fast player can be of advantage in the backs . Their roles require speed and ball-playing skills , rather than just strength , to take advantage of the field position gained by the forwards . Typically forwards tend to operate in the centre of the field , while backs operate nearer to the touch-lines , where more space can usually be found .
