Leeds Rhinos v Catalans Dragons Match Thread + Magic Weekend

Quote: DISA "Thats it? That's all you have to say on it? Do you not have an opinion of your own? only the clubs thoughts, and bitches about people posting rifts?

For what its worth, I didn't get carried away with the 1st half performance, as I dont think we will come up with an oppossition as poor as that again this year. That said, we were still very good in that 1st half. I just kept thinking how we would be really over a slump if we could repeat that at a place like Cas in a couple of weeks.

On the second half, to me we were poop, really really poop. And to me it had two common denominators. One we had Diskin at dummy half instead of Buderus (yes we did for last 15 of 1st half, but we were on a roll then). His movement from their was poor and slow. His pass to Kirke for the 1st knock on was pish poor, and Buderus would not have made that mistake. It was no coincidence that our turn around in form in the 1st half was with Buderus starting the game, which was much faster and busier.

2nd problem was bringing on McGuire. He completely took the structure away from the team. It pains me to say it, because I like him a lot, but he simply had a nightmare. He was too eager to try and impress from been dropped to the bench, and everything we did good in the 1st half went out of the window. His timing of the pass to Webb for what should have been a walk in try, was amateurish. He passed far too early, when in realization he could simply have dummied and gone in himself.

I really hope we can repeat that 1st half showing, we need to, but unfortunately I dont think we can without starting with the same half back combination again, and the definately the same hooker.'"

I don't think McGuire had one of his best games either, they said he was carrying an injury on Sky. I do think though if he was fit, and in form we would have done even better in the first half.

If in future we are going to go with one half back with Sinfield i'd prefer McGuire to start at 7. Some of his best, most influential games have been when he has been more involved - i just think he has a little bit more to offer than Burrow and is far to good to be on the bench.

McGuire read the play suberbly and put himself in position to make the break to give the pass to Webb, yes he did pass to early but if he wasn't there we wouldn't have made the break.
