The England captain Kevin Sinfield is surprised to win rugby league's unofficial prize for the world's best player - the Golden Boot.
But he dismisses his Australian critics who believe NRL stars Melbourne's Cameron Smith and Canterbury's Dally M Medallist Ben Barba were better placed to win the award with Sinfield claiming Aussies "rate themselves very highly".
Sinfield has become the fourth Englishman to claim the Golden Boot, and the first since Andy Farrell in 2004.
Back in pre-season training with Leeds, Sinfield will no doubt be looking to get the last laugh in the World Club Challenge at home ground Headingley next month.
Sinfield led Leeds to a 26-12 triumph over Manly at last year's WCC.
