| Quote: Exeter Rhino "Don't be daft. Webb plays like a stand-off when he joins the attacking line already, and his passing skills are second to none in the Leeds team IMO (although sadly McGuire's passing was top notch against Wigan). I don't think it will be a big disruption to accommodate him there. The move also has the advantage in that we get to see Smith play in his arguably most effective position. Webb has also played there before for Leeds so it is hardly going to be experimenting with an untried option.
The alternative of playing Sinfield at stand-off means we will have to find room for an extra forward when we are already down to the bare bones, instead of utilising a proven match-winner in previous play-offs. I don't think Lee Smith has quite hit the form of previous seasons but I'd rather him play full-back than not play at all.'"
From past history Sinfield will be playing 6 with JJB returning into the pack.

What is JJB's expected recovery? If he is back, I'd fully expect Sinfield to be at 6.'"

As opposed to being blessed with a comparatively injury-free number of seasons prior to this one?
You'll be suggesting Leeds are unlucky next.

Hi kKeith,
Feeling contrite about this comment yet?

Then let Webb play in the role that he is accustomed to. I agree that Webb, like most modern fullbacks, often adopts a "third half-back" role so let's persist with that.
This is going to be a game that is going to require control and experience in the key positions. I'd be far more trusting of Sinfield to put in a solid pressure relieving kick than I would Webb.
The forward pack are already rotating, we may well have JJB back in the team - the disruption would be minimised by pulling Sinfield out of the back row.

OK, if you do not wish to retain any crumb of credibility whatsoever that is fine.
You're now categorized as the kind of poster who makes crass, false alleagtions about a player feigning injury then doesn't have the class to admit he was wrong.
Duly noted.

I can see that this makes sense. Webb may simply have to play a more pivotal role from fullback.

| All the best Danny - He has been fantastic this year...!!
Cruel way to end his season
The reason RFL Supporters are way better than Football is because we are like one big family, usually when an injury like this happens to a player the RFL community get behind him and wish him all the best. I'm sorry to say I was ashamed by the remarks from some utter scum these past few days (Namely Wigan 'fans')
You lost the game, which your clearly upset about but taking it out on a player of his class is NOT the answer!

Maybe not, but it's good to see you've imported your anti-Leeds agenda from the VT.
What McGuire did is what any other professional player in that same position would have done. He helped his team to a vital play-off win by committing a professional foul and preventing the opposition from scoring a match-winning try.
I suppose you're going to try and tell me that in the old days the likes of Vince Karalius or Eric Ashton would have simply waved Carmont through and allowed him to score, just to preserve the spirit of the game?

You show me a player who wouldn't have done the same thing.
McGuire did what he had to do for Leeds to get to their goal - win the game.
Good on him.
There's other factors at hand:
Wigan were leading 14-0
Brain dead Tomkins gifting 2 points
Pat Richards should have done better with OTHER kicks
daft Leeds - shouldnt have gifted the ball back with early kick - should have rolled out the set.

Wouldnt matter who he played for , and i'v no doubt that a certain Mr Murphy would have done exactly the same in the circumstances , then again Alex always was a cheating barsteward
Difference is he would admit to it

Agreed, added to that Webb has been very poor this season at FB by his own high standards.
