Well guess this doesnt matter for the time being, Mcguire out for two months.

Obviously a huge blow re the WCC and the tough run of games weve got.

On the plus side its early in the season and we will hopefully get to see abit of the future if Lilly and Sutcliffe are played together

Have they played in the academy together or did they just miss each other?

Also I would like to see Hardaker made captain, looked to be lacking a little confidence re kicking and the captaincy could be the boost he needs

Over the last 3/4 years McGuire has spent a lot of time pushing ang telling players where to go in attack. He has run a lot of our game. I fear the next 2 months will show how his absence impacts our play. It could be a rough run to April.

I would like to see Sutcliffe at 6 and Lilley at 7, with Burrow at 9 or on the bench if Falloon is fit.



We need to put the trust in those two,if we expect them to be future stars let's give them some faith and experience now.

He'll be fit and back on top form ready for our middle 8's campaign

You need to be in the top 4 or no more than a point or 2 away by the time the middle 8's roll around, otherwise you ain't making that ground up. If Leeds struggle in this first 2 months. they'll be playing catch up for the rest of the regular season and quite possibly will not be able to get into a position of sufficient strength for when the super 8's begin.

I said middle 8's not super 8's

Honestly, I don't know what you were watching last season. Or seasons gone by. Who was moving us around and leading us when Sinfield wasn't playing? McGuire was superb last year.

Not McGuire that is who. It hasn't happened. You can keep dreaming about it but it hasn't happened yet. MCGuire brings other qualities to the side which is more relevant to your superb statement.

Well it certainly did first half of last year especially dont see where you're coming from he was superb when Sinfields form was indifferent to say the least coupled with the niggles up until mid summer. It's your opinion and i appreciate that but certainly not one i would go along with.

I'm staying a bit more optimistic than that. Even without McGuire we have a lot of good players

I'd suggest you rewatch some of last years games if you can. Especially in the first half of the season. If McGuire wasn't moving us around the pitch and leading, who was? Sutcliffe?

cuthbo?
