Is it just me or has Mcshane's tackling style looking more and more like Buderus'? They way he goes into the collision to me looks very similar and maybe is something Buderus' has worked on with him.

Mcshane has the best long kicking game in the first team too. His kicking out of dummy half is awesome.

You might want to go watch three games from October 2007, 2008 and 2009. I'm sure you'll find a few others who impress you.

Just to counter, even though we've completely dominated you in big games over the last few years I'm still always impressed by Roby, Graham, Puletua. They are always overshadowed by wonderful one off performances by Pryce and Meli though

Today was his most impressive performance for me. This is because he set the tone rather than opening the game up after a platform had been laid. He took the defence on from the very first set, displayed wonderful vision and when he ran from dummy half he ran with a real purpose. His defence is also massively improved.

Really showing the ability he looked like he had as a youngster and is now starting to look like a complete player. Played Milner off the park, who was by no means poor.

I went to those games. I repeat: the only player in the Leeds team who ever impressed me was Sinfield. He is a superb player. I repeat also: you have a real talent in McShane.

McGuire - great supporting player and is quick when released but there are a few of those knocking around; Peacock - ageing forward, better players in his position already; Smith - he was ok before he went to union, but I've not noticed him at all since his return. Has he played for you? McShane, though, stands apart from the rest (bar Sinfield, who is superb even if he does whinge a lot).

I'll just remind you of what you said

Ever, not this year, not even while playing for Leeds, but ever.



Peacock might be an ageing forward but he still carried our pack against you in 3 Grand Finals. He hasn't always been ageing.

Smith was one of the most influential players in those games. What he is doing now (not a great deal and now he's injured) is irrelevant in the context of your initial post.

McGuire was the best half in SL last year.

I'd add Hall, Lauitiiti, Burrow and others to my argument but I think I've proved my point.

Think before you type next time

People how babble crap about mags been just a support player clearly know nothing about rl.

Being.

Your post count must be doubled by this!

They need to be told.

Oh, I agree.

Been grammatically poor is no good for anyone. It's being a long time since I did anything that daft

Grrrr!

It was strangely hard to do that - took a lot of effort!
