Quote: Banielates "For mine Mcguire has never regained his electryfying pace of 2004.

At the start of 05 he picked up some sort of hamstring injury and ever since then he's not been as fast and his game has been evolving ever since.'"

I can only assume you have had your eyes closed this season.

Batley Rhino, finally you're starting to talk some sense.

Acceleration not what it was in 04. In 04 he was [iblistering[/i. Watch that try he scored against bradford in the first 40 seconds at headingly. He can't accelerate like that now. He picked up an injury at the start of 05 which was when burrow finally became the regular 7 and not an impact sub.

McGuire's still pretty quick. Even if he comes back permanently a bit slower I'd hope and expect his game to change to compensate as it would have had to do anyway through age.

The only interesting thing about the Marshall comparison is that Marshall on his day is the best in the world creatively, and probably shows something like what McGuire would have turned into had he gone to the NRL 5 years ago. However, Marshall's genius is quite temperamental. A lot of games Wests lose he gets a lot of stick for.

I've no idea why anyone would actually contemplate signing anyone other than possibly a kid from another club to backup halfback. At this stage all we know is McGuire can come back next season, and as Batley said, a huge part of Leeds' recent success is down to team spirit, which comes in part from the club showing loyalty to players.

A short term aussie signing is unlikely, due to logistics etc. Certainly not at the start of the season. Best hope would be to get someone from another SL side, though I can't see there being too many halfbacks who would come on short term loan from another SL side.

For me, we need to make do with an academy product in the scenario that one of Danny's replacements also gets injured. I don;t see that any of the other options would yield a decent solution

Any academy prospect will have a full preseason to work with Burrow (it's not like he will be going on tour), which gives plenty of time to get some things sorted. Then they can put it into practice with the preseason games. If it doesn't work we then go back to plan B of Sinfield or Webb.

Are you suggesting that Sinfield to stand off won't be Plan A for the start of 2011, assuming McGuire doesn't make a quicker than expected recovery?

I don't know why Gotcha is concerned with anything regarding 2011.

It's a write-off remember. icon_wink.gif

You think?

Watch his try against Wigan (from Webb's pass), Watch Leuiluia track him and get between Webb and McGuire. Watch McGuire glide right past him and Tomkins. McGuire's got plenty of pace.

No, I am suggesting it shouldn't be plan A. It's not like it is mid season, I was talking about preseason. That is where the best opportunity is to experiment and see if something else works.

If it fails with the youngster then revert to Sinfiled/Webb at SO, but IMO that should be plan B.

Ward will be 17 next year, Mcguire was 17 when he made his debut. Im sure we have enough with Ward, Webb and Sinfield to cover 2 or 3 months of next year

I cant see the sense in giving up a squad place and cap space for a player whose position would be secondary after 3 months, especially when we have gaps in the forwards

Danny McGuire was nearer to 19 than 18 when he made his Leeds 1st grade debut.

Maths was never my strong point icon_lol.gif

Point still stands, 17 isnt ridiculously young for a player to get a couple of games, Chev was 16 wasnt he
