From these few games now Im still yet to see what McGuire and Westwood are offering to this squad

Impressed with pretty much all the forwards but still changes should be made

Briscoe
Fox
Smith
Shenton
Hall
Tomkins
Eastmond
Graham
Roby
Morley
Peacock
Ellis
Sinfield

Burgess
Crabtree
Carvell
Wilkin

be it gameplan, stage fright or what I would agree Danny has not produced what he does week in week out in SL. If you drop him though you have to bring in someone who will perform better than him. I can't see Myler or Eastwood doing that.

being a big bloke i can imagine its hard for him to play halfback instead of in the pack

I saw Eastmond do that today i think. I doubt it's gameplan letting McGuire down, I would say Tony Smith would know how to play to McGuire's strengths.

I'll tell you what it is...He's not international standard as with a lot of our players

he's not an international what though???

Finisher? Support player? Oh yes he is.

Creative organiser? leader? Nope

He may be able to finish but if no one is creating anything he may as well not be there.

He has been given more chances than most to prove his worth.Give Eastmond a chance to shine.

Graham
Sinfield

Wilkin

Roby (not good enough to start, his passing is bad, has great impact though)
Crabtree + Burgess - great impact against Oz
Westwood - not performed too bad imo

Eastmond looked lively and exciting everytime he got the ball, strangely Danny M looked old tonight, off the pace... Peacock should go really, thought Burgess was our mom or poss tomkins, Smith was a bit of a liability also sadly.

BINGO!!

Having seen first hand the gaping holes in Smith's centre yesterday it's the big issue to sort for next week. I am certain he'll persist with Mcguire at SO and in that case he should start Eastmond there. However, the team you've picked above I'd consider leaving Ellis in the pack where he played Ok yesterday and try Wilkin at Centre. I'd say of the 2 he's more suited to the position.

Is wilkin in the sqaud?
