He wouldn't have needed to, the game would have been won with 20 minutes to go.

I could be wrong, but our team did create enough chances to win by that much, but the final execution let us down.

Never for McGuire....but yes, maybe, for Burrow. Have said elsewhere you cannot deny Burrow's spirit, pace and broken play ability (and his pass yesterday to Donald wasn't bad either). I really do admire the little guy.
However, we do undoubtedly need a Briers to complement McGuire (the better of the two....certainly by far this year - DEF our player of the year) if we want to continue challenging the best from half back.

With Clarkson commanding a regular position we could maybe find the answer in moving Sinfield more permanently to Stand Off and Clarkson taking Sinfield's place at LF. Burrow as super sub / better interchange hooker than Diskin.

Am i watching a different game or something? Where have you been the last however many caps danny mcguire has for england?

He's been awful for england. He's not been good for leeds either. The only reason you think he's played well is because he's scored a few decent tries.

Okay, thats a great attribute. But you had a man overlap on the pitch last night for 68 minutes? nearly 7/8ths of the match? and yet you failed to romp that team. That makes me think that your offensive organisation is shocking.

I beggars belief that you want him to be picked for england. If i was you, i'd be worrying what bluey is gonna be doing to sort you offence out.

He's slow. He cant organise, and has failed for england many a time before.

Why dont we play him?

To be fair Jesus is way overrated...can't pass, no pace, not enough go forward

Managed to make it until he was 36 though didnt he?

that simply isnt the case, and its a very simplistic view of our game.

We made plenty of breaks, and had plenty of opportunities, numerous times forwards like Eastwood and Ablett were put through gaps, and Smith and Delany had a couple of opportunities on the outside, it is simply we lacked any kind of creativity in the three-quarters.

I always though that was something of a miracle!

not a fan but yesterday he won the game for you lot..good peformance..think you nee a better sh than burrow now though!

Dont get me started

And he was always good in the wet... never lost his footing. It was like he was walking on water.

Yet quick enough to make the break,Hall running on the diagonal was always favorite and would probably have stopped a 21 year old McGuire.

Disagree. Briers has had opportunities aplenty to galvanise struggling teams. Usually he's failed miserably. There's no reason to suppose things would be any different if he was put in that position again.

Struggling teams? You can hardly compare this Leeds team to the Wire squads and coaches Briers has had to cope with in the past!

Are you saying that Leeds couldn't have been any better organised by the halves against a team with 12 men for 70 minutes? Leeds played very dumb rugby for the vast majority of that game (IMO of course).
