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.
