Newly emerging team ?
Sorry, can't go with that. No worries with the threequarters - but if they are to score tries we need more muscle up front & half backs that can move the ball QUICKLY to the centres etc.
What we need is speed & speed of thought from the back of the scrum.........that is not Danny or Sinny !!!!
We need a clear out of older forwards & half backs to allow our youngsters to prove that they are the future NOW !

Sutcliffe took over at stand off (in a team that was already beaten) & showed some promise...............lets face it Danny is a spent force (both in attack & defence). We need to give Sutcliffe an extended run at No. 6 to give him chance to prove that he is good enough (rather than in & out of the team like he has been for too long).
As soon as Robbie Burrows is back, he should be an automatic choice at scrum half & get Sir Kevin back into the pack (where he should be) !

You just lost all credibility with your misnomer of beep beep

I thought he lost it when on a previous thread he asks for more grunt from the forwards then goes and says Sinfield should move back to the pack.

I watched the first half and then called it quits. Thats the first time in over 45 years which tells you everything you need to know about that game imho.

Possibly incorrect, but I wouldn't be surprised if a number of players - McGuire included - are more focused on the Cup game than many would credit. They've never won it. Its not unhear of for a player to realise it isn't going to be their day and back off with a view to saving themselves for the next week. A very silly thing to do IMO - playing half-heartedly tends to attract exactly the sort of injuries players are trying to avoid - but we've all seen it.
