Indeed.

Watch Saints at their best. The half back will receive the ball and there will be several options and a number of runners (both dummy and support) to create space and options for the half back.

Poor McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield rarely have such a luxury at Leeds.

A good supporter will routinely follow the forwards in the hope of an offload - I'd agree that that would probably take you out of the next play (at least as first receiver) but that doesn't happen on every play and a halfback that puts a player through a hole can then be on his shoulder to finish the break.

McGuire's general transition to creator from supporter (or to put it another way a more rounded player) started long before Mclennan - and rightly so.

He may not score as many tries as he used to but that's probably down to a slight loss of pace and a number of other support options in the side.

Indeed,when webb is scoring or even burrow more often than not mcguire is next man in line.

Total cr@p.

If he is giving others more opportunitioes, rather than running himslef, then he will be able to support when someone else makes the break. He can't support when he makes a break now can he?

I think that under Tony Smith there is no way McGuire would have been the slouch he was last Friday when Buderus put him clear through.

Nothing to do with coaches, more his injuries and bulking up.

He still should have scored though

He was faster then because he hadn't suffered as many injuries plus roberts is no slouch either!

Why?

McGuire went for it but didn't have the legs. He got run down by a faster player.

I don't think he looked confident he was going to make it, and his line was very indirect, whenI think he should have pinned his ears back.

Its a shame to see McGuire lacking the pace we used to see. It used to be the case that when he was beyond the line it was a try

You see all that but you wouldn't notice an attacker stood in the defensive line.
Cheeky.

I had replays, and Sky+ to help out
