Leeds aint gettin near that old trafford turf.

Stick to modelling the latest lycra fashion gear down at the local gym. I hear you're good at that.

Innit

Even better at blowing firemens hoses I'm lead to believe.

Sinfield or Webb in the halves! We have options we will kick on. I love maggs he's my fav player, he has been awesome! but Like peacock, buderus, Webb and Ali before we will pull together and kick on!

Come on Leeds

If Macgires out just move Webvb to Stand off and Smitth at FB IMO

Sinfield will play 6 with Burrow at 7 and possibly JJB at 13. If McGuire is out then the form of Webb is crucial if Leeds are to progress.

This is a team that has suffered adversity in the past and come through so there is no reason why it cannot do the same for two more matches

As good as Mags has been, Webb played a blinder last night. Was a constant menace when joining the attacking line. Linked up well with Sinfield on couple of occasions too. Its won't be the end of the world.

His defence was questionable though.

I would not put Sinfield to 6, I would also go with Webb and Smith back in at fullback =#FF0040IF Mcguire is out. Because if fit I would just go with the same team.

I think thats what we'll go with. Webb to 6, Sinfield to stay at 13. Even at 13 Sinfield will still be sharing the role and taking a bit more resposibility over the plays.

Anybody know what the state of play with the Mags injury is?

If Saints can win games without Eastmond/Pryce, Leeds can certainly win games without McGuire.

You'd still have Burrow and Sinfield/Webb in the halves with Lee Smith to cover full back (is he fit?) - no biggie.

It most certainly is a biggie the way McGuire has played this year.

I am not saying we can't win without him but he has been in Man of Steel Form all year and his loss will be more keenly felt than Peacock's IMO.

He was sublime again last night.

Evened up by Wigan losing Deacon surely?

I seem to remember you saying recently, after beating Saints, that players missing through injury is no worse than handling errors. I'm sure you still hold this view.



There isn't actually any news on McGuire yet is there? Hopefully he's fine to play on for the rest of the season and the 4N. Some despicable comments over on C&W about his injury - you can bet your last penny Sam Tomkins would have done the same thing and if Inglis is supporting a break in the last seconds of the 4N final this year, I hope someone kicks his legs from under him.

I didn't say they were no worse, IIRC I said they were as big a factor in deciding the outcome of games.

IF he's out at least we have the benefit of a 2 weeks to prepare without him, unlike Saints losing Pryce and Eastmond mid match.

That said, given McGuire has been streets ahead of either of Saints halves this year and quite probably the best stand off in the league, we would miss him more than you would miss your halves.

Nah, you'd miss him as much as a knock on.

Just shows how much better than Saints we must be as we overcame the injury to McGuire and managed to win.

Not sure a win sans Danny is possible....

Do we know anything concrete or are we speculating based on how he was carried from the field?

I'm not sure how you work this out. Leon Pryce had been absolutely sensational all season until he was injured before the semi final.

I thought it was just brilliant coaching. The ensuing tactical reshuffle was genius and the way the players responded to their new positioning to ensure the win was something special.

Did you see where Senior was to take the high ball, awsome.
