What i have seen of Kelly he has looked very good but more of an individual threat than likely destroy a team with a pass.i agree Campese has also been good,controlled things well.

Whatever.The point is i dont think there is a half in SL i would swap for Mcguire right now.

Always been a massive fan of Danny. I remember the 2010 season well, he dragged us through that almost single handedly, probably the most influential player in Superleague in my opinion. He bust his knee, and with JP being injured, we were never going to stop Wigan. I think he was beginning to be the all round player in '10, the injury, and subsequent ones, have diluted his impact somewhat, but he has blossomed as a ball handler and decision maker and will have another couple of years left with the right people around him. Sinny finishing is possibly the best thing for Danny's career in the long run.

Why give the opposition a chance though, when you can take half the remaining time off the clock and get a straight line of defense?

One of my all time greatest Leeds players. So underrated by people who just don't get the quality of what he does. Had a superb game yesterday, all the skills on display. His pass to Moon was sublime.

like I've said before his interviews come across well too.I would love hear him do a grand final presentation speech .After this year though

I've always thought Danny is often underrated (especially by our own fans). Hes often the scapegoat when we play poorly.

Partly this seems to be due to the shift of style as he's matured from a quick support player to a ball player.

Of the golden three I've always considered burrow the most dispensable, whilst capable of magnificent moments of gamebreaking brilliance he's never seems to have fully settled into an 80min role. In fact his greatest match came off the bench.

Or the Hull game this year where he could barely catch the ball in the first half

Danny has always been a class player - his try assists testify to that, something that is easily overlooked. His reading of a game is second to none, you don't end up in the correct supporting position by luck it requires skill and understanding.

The common thought on here that Leeds cannot play without Sinfield, this means the blame is seldom pointed at the captain. Danny seems to cop for most when things aren't going well which seems unfair.

One of the things that has made this team great is the ability to focus on the job in hand and deliver - nobody typifies that edict more than Danny. His will to win is every bit as strong as the likes of Peacock and JJB - an all time Leeds great.

top post sal. I thought he was on his way out last year but he has been our most influential player this year, hull game apart when he had a mare

He's playing well and has adapted his game over the last few years to another level which is good to see lets be honest we ALL knew he was more than just a support player from day 1.
I will say though he does try to do "too much" at times in that his show and go when the line is set just doesn't work and looks pointless when other options are there.

The show and go has been something he's done throughout his career with a lot of success, Unfortunatley he forgets that he doesn't have the same pace he had then.

I want that in a half-back. The last thing you want is someone like Matty Smith who you know is never, ever going to take on the line.

Even if it's not on, do it. Throw the dummy, drop your shoulder and make those inside defenders respect the fact that you're not just going to ship the ball on. Longer term, it attracts the attention of outside defenders and forces them to switch off from looking at the runners they're supposed to be picking up and look inwards at what you're doing with the ball.
