Negatives- Kicking game has been poor all season

We don't know what we are doing close to the line (relying on a Burrow, Buderus break or an offload for Webb)

We don't have any moves at all! It is one out rugby or pass it along the line and see what happens! (Saints run at pace with dummy runners, passes inside and neat little chips, even Cas looked better drilled in attack than us on Friday night. Not to mention Harlequins and Salford!)

Positives- Buderus gets better with every game.

You are basing your whole assessment of Mcguire on one game this season.

I'll help you out. He didnt really do anythin on the last tackle other than get lucky. It was a brain fart, a ridiculous option and he got lucky. You basing your opinion on that is at best, stupid.

Get it?

Mate, when mcguire put that kick in I jumped up and shouted at the TV ''WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING'' i felt like a right idiot when we got the penalty and won, but my instinct in the moment was it was the wrong option so you're right about being lucky.

From where hall got tackled we should have shifted it to sinfield in the middle for a go at the drop. Mcguire's play in that situtaion was wrong even though it did come off.

No, I just believe that it is ok if he has the ball on the last tackle.

And I take it you have no evidence.

So to recap, I'm basing my judgement on evidence and you aren't, get it?

Whilst I agree we should have gone for drop goal, entirely. I also have to say that anybody watching on the telly and commenting can really not comment confidently. You had to be there to see what McGuire was attempting.

I have since watched it on the telly and it really does just look like an aimless kick. At the game, although still appearing wrong, you could see exactly what he was doing, who to, and why.
