I think the key for Leeds is that both Burrows and McGuire need to take the line on far more. Both are incredibly dangerous when they do so and if they do not at least try, opposing teams just drift sideways to cover latetral plays. Leeds are guilty of playing in front of the defensive line far too much.

as Soon as DB is 80% fit get him back in!

Yeah great idea TOOL...

That is at least partly true. McGuire can be guilty of getting a bit too lateral sometimes. primarily I think he does it in search of a gap, which he can be through in a heartbeat when he's on form, but if the gap doesn't materialise he sometimes looks short of a Plan B.

That is being hyper-critical, of course, but even players as good as him have things to improve.

If they have no runners though it would be suicide.

Watch Burrow. Many times he received the ball and not a Leeds player within 20 yards looks keen to take the ball so he takes on the line himself out of lack of options rather than anything else.

If Burrow and McGuire were running directly with options galore then they would be very difficult to stop.

That's another issue with the coaching though...........

Most ridiculous suggestion of the season

G1 is bang on regarding diskin, he'll do a fine job in the run in, just like the last 5 years

who knows, he may add another Harry Sunderland trophy ....

Not doubting Diskins ability but an 80% fit DB is better than a 100% Disco

Not only will the guy be missed on the field but off it too!

It's also partly a criticism of their organisation skills. They should know what they're going to do when the receive the ball and this should have been communicated to the runners.

Sinfield is much better at this but then he is probably not as good at breaking the line himself.

Absolute B0llocks...

For about 5 minutes.

Then you're left with a 0% fit Danny Buderus.

If he's fully fit before the play offs great. If he's partially fit its not worth the risk - remember the selection of Keith Senior in the CC Final in 2005.
