Quote: Andy Gilder "McGuire put a perfectly good pass down in midfield during the second half because he was too busy looking where he was going before he caught the ball - I don't see his performance being "critiqued" in a similar fashion?'"
McGuire is slightly more established in the team. His potential for inclusion in the 17 is not really an issue anymore.
McGuire knocked on Leeds' first possession of the match in the sixth minute (I've mentioned that in another thread) and again in the 74th minute as well as conceding a penalty for hands in the play the ball on 58 minutes. Buderus threw two terrible passes from dummy half (I've mentioned that in another thread) and knocked on another possession at the play the ball but again his position in the side isn't an issue.
Some people appear to think Watkins should be a 1st choice centre at Leeds right now, I don't at this point, based on his performances when played in that position up to and including his 16 minutes V the Harlequins on Saturday.
