Excellent news for us.

Although I'm sure we'll get posts about being biscuit bones & a flat track bully

Whatever you think of McGuire we always play better with flattrackbiscuit in the team.

It's very good news, we have missed him since his injury

it would not surprise me if mcdermott put him on the bench and brings him on when we are 20 points down.
to have any chance of success in these playoffs we need mcguire, we have a much better structured attack.

We haven't really missed McGuire and Webbs excellent support play.

There has been nothing to support.

Can't you just rest him for one more game? Think of next season for goodness sake

Doesn't say 100% if he's back. It says high hopes and not confirmed as fit. To be honest not too concerned he's been out for a month and will be rusty and not match fit. A few knocks if not 100% ready to come back and he could be soon subbed and a waste of a man in the 17.

It's only Wakefield, so I'd be tempted to rest him another couple of weeks, and bring him back for the Semi-Final game.
He can use that game to get match fitness ready for another game against St Helens at Old Trafford

I hope you're being tongue in cheek.

I think we have lacked McGuires cutting edge since he's been off. If he's fit enough to play, he plays. This is the play-offs, and we need our strongest team out.

He shouldn't come back if not 100%... we have been here before! Equally, I hope the lads & the coaching staff are not thinking the same as you (albeit your comment may be tongue in cheek) about Wakefield! They are the form team of the competition and have won 7 from 7, beating three other teams from the top 8 in the process. They need respect and the lads to turn up... otherwise an early exit is a real possibility.

If he is fit it will only mean Burrow starting again as hooker

It's time for a return to Plan B - 2011 style.

Sinfield/McGuire in the halves, Lunt to start and Burrow to be introduced from the bench around the thirty minute mark.

That formation worked for Leeds last season and while Lunt is no Buderus it still represents their best chance of making progress.

Would you leave Ward out or put him on the bench as a forward replacement?
Personally I would prefer Ward/McGuire in the halves, Lunt as hooker and Burrow on the bench with Sinfield at LF . But it aint gonna happen.

Lunt??? Hmmmm.
