Not only has McGuire been an extremely good try scorer, but he's always created alot more than the Leeds fans give him credit for as well IMO. Has been one of our best players ever since he came into the side.

tvoc, what is your non-statistical opinion of McGuire?

FWIW I think the Burrow-McGuire halfback partnership will end up going down as one of the best - if not the best - in the club's history. Both will end up with a shedload of tries, not to mention winning at least 2 GFs (I know Burrow started 04 from the bench but he was there).

Well done to Keith Senior, a nice touch of symmetry at the top:

=1 - Francis Cummins - 136 (268 Appearances)
=1 - Keith Senior - 136 (268 Appearances)

<AP Hat on>

They're both crap and wouldn't have made it in the super duper NRL.

so tell us who would .
this is a statistics thread i think.

Correct.





No, I don't keep records for any players, either before or after they play for Leeds or those that never play for Leeds at all.

Only their efforts V Leeds are recorded.

Paul Deacon: Pl 33+7, Tries 3, Goals 99, Drop Goals 2, Points 212

The above includes last night.

Tvoc - what is our record against Bradford in SL now? I guess they are still a fair few wins up but we must have closed the gap significantly from the early years.

i think its time some talented person produced and published an updated headingley story 1979-2008 .
to keep the ken dalby legacy going

That information is classified and way too embarrasing for me to divulge. Some Bradford fans are having a stab at it over [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=352915&highlight=here[/url I fear it can only be a matter of time before the painful truth is revealed.



It's improving but still Leeds' major disappointment in terms of 50/50 parity. Ask me again if Leeds win the next 11 meetings.

But the stats on Saints look better I understand?

There's an up to date summary on the state of Leeds V St Helens on page 2 of this thread.

It's close.

And while I'm here wouldn't it be neat if McGuire scores a hat-trick at Harlequins on Sunday and creates a 3-way share for most tries with Cummins and Senior?

This is fun now:
