Danny McGuire has been one of SL's greatest players - his contribution to Leeds' winning streak can never be under estimated.
He has come back from some terrible injuries but perhaps they have finally caught up with him? I hope he can one last season where he leaves on high not like this year.
He doesn't look fit and I question why is he playing - it could be that the coaching staff don't share the fans view of Lilley - I am not as sure as many on here.
He deserves a chance to put the effort in over the pre-season but his place in the team should be based on form and not reputation
Entirely agree with all of this. I wonder if Danny has had any thoughts he should have maybe bowed out on a high with the likes of Sinfield and Peacock. As it is he and Rob could see their careers fizzle out slowly in an anti-climatic season of struggle: 2017 looks like it could be a repeat of this even with the lucky acquisition of Chicko. JJB you would think will retire with some dignity still intact at the end of this season.
All season I have seen the oft repeated lament that Leeds have not had a full squad to select from; hence their terrible performances. Even with a full squad, however, the team still looks far from convincing. The defence issues simply do not seem to have been addressed; similarly the attacking ideas in the final 20. The coach seems to have "got away with it" and continues to do so. With the additional lack of any prospect of a worthwhile new signing I don't think I will be missing anything next season. Zzzzz.
