Expect to see Roby and Moore in at 9 with KC taking up Prop when necessary!!!!

mcguire is opta's stand off of the year!! For a message board that is so obsessed with stats I thought a few more people would appreciate a 6 that has been awesome this season and just keeps getting better and better.

I knew you could do it!

It is the one position where we don't have specialist cover, if 2 of McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield were out we might struggle though I think Webb or Buderus could play there at a push. Not sure Danny Allen is good enough and Simon Brown who played there for the reserves has been released.

At the time I was dissapointed that we didn't get McNally from Whitehaven as he would have been ideal long term cover.

He is, despite having (in comparison to Pryce when the team was announced):

Less tries
Less metres per carry
Same number of assists
Less offloads
Less tackles
Less busts
Less runs from dummy half
Less 40/20s
More missed tackles
More penalties
More errors

Despite Pryce having a poor year by his standards. At the time I looked at it (just after the team was announced) McGuire had made three more clean breaks and kicked more.

Which makes me wonder how they put the stats team together.
