"I have stated before this side now needs breaking up - part of that would be one of Sinfield/Burrow/McGuire going." Unbelievable crap


No we have a new winner by some distance

One of Roby strengths is his defence - Burrow does not give the defensive stability Roby gives - imagine if Burrow defended in the middle - he would be permenantly concussed.

One of the reasons I think the squad need shaking up is the integration of new players - it must be very difficult coming into a set up where the rest of the players have been playing together for 6/8 years.

I'm not dissagreeing on breaking up certain points. But I don't see the rush for breaking up just 3 players, when all 3 are versatile enough to move elsewhere. Had you mentioned more across the squad then fair enough.

Andy Roby's defence is poor to be honest. He is as much a one trick pony as Burrow, in that his assett is running at people and breaking the tackle.

Don't agree at all.
Why would you get rid of one our best players.They were good enough last season to the main prize,so what's changed this season?

Agree totally with that. We look a better team no doubt when Ali's on the park. He's a huge player for us if we are to win anything this year. We miss another top class 2nd rower as i posted earlier.

Don't agree at all with getting rid of one out of mcguire burrow sinfield, but out of interest which one are after getting rid of and why?

And 2004 and 2007. Can't see the sense in it tbh at all... i get the feeling he'd get rid of burrow which would be laughable.

I thought McGuire was very good last night (apart from the high shot) at scrum half, much more direct.

Yes agree there. He looked much sharper than he has been for a while. I thought Hall, Smith, Webb, Ali, Peacock, Senior and Sinfield were all very good last night. Although i would say Hull gave them too much room to play at times.

Giving them too much room, has more to do with Leeds controlling the ruck, and getting quick PTB, than Hull allowing us time and space

I would get rid of Burrow out of the 3, but I don't think we should get rid of any.

Eccleshill would most certainly say Sinfield. He has never really got the effect of Sinfield on this team.

My point is simple...Hull were very ordinary and made us look good. Don't really disagree with much of your comeback, my view is simply that we are not yet fully clicking into gear and last night could easily be a bit of a false dawn. I am a big fan of McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield - still don't think McGuire is 100% and looks to have lost a yard or two. Sinfield is absolutely crucial to the side.

I really don't understand the Diskin/Buderus idea their roles seem to duplicate rather than complement each other, with Diskin more a poor man's Buderus!
