One of the best things about mcguire was if players wernt playing well they got dropped so players knew they had to constantly perform or they were out for a few weeks not sure the players still feel that

Agree totally, and they will, just going to have to expect the occasional battering... Peacock is quite astounding at the moment.

This is so true. We have been crying out for years for a couple of good, mature props who take no nonsense. Taylor, Dudson et al all have potential but arent starting props who will dominate the opposition and get you off on a good foot, yet anyway. For all the merits of Hansen and Farrell I am still not convinced about them as a 80 min 2nd row combination either, they are both too similar and lack punch and bite for me.

Peacock is a very very good pro.

Leeds are lucky to have had him for the last few seasons.

Tell me about it. The man is amazing. He just keeps going.

In the mid 2000s there were 3 outstanding British props available - Morley, Peacock and Fielden. We have suffered greatly from not having someone of the others' quality for a number of years, other than a short cameo from Lima.
