Half time. At least three bombed tries: Danny has forgotten how to pass.
Early days but Moon AND Vickery look useful on left.

Happy new year y'all

Not according to the Leeds Rhinos twitter feed: [iDanny McGuire has been at the heart of the Rhinos attacking play, making numerous breaks and creating tries and opportunities for others[/i

Happy New Year to you too

Danny twittered that he has little to no interest in pre-season friendlies and doesn't care about his (or the teams) performances or results. He does what he likes, he plays when he likes and he wins when it counts, just like the rest of the team.

29 more pre-season friendlies to go - unless I've miscounted?

Happy New Year to you too

if this is how danny plays when he has been on the beer he's in for a great year ! i think we scored off 3 of his kicks and he also had the final pass for another 2.mom for me with moon a close 2nd

Danny goes to Las Vegas in the morning so he was never going to be interested. Bes not going g to play and get injured when be goes on holiday the next day.

Nantwich showing his traditional understanding of the game.

McGuire absolutely ran the show. I counted at least four assists today, the only one I can think he bombed was not spotting Chisholm on his inside and choosing to throw the long pass to Vickery instead.

Totally agree AG.

You guys



Where did I state that my namesake didn't boss the show? He [idid[/i

...and where did I state all the 'bombed tries' where all his fault?

His kicking was Sinfield-sublime, but I remember (maybe mis-guidedly...I have just turned 50

) the captain for the day making two long distance clear breaks with just a finely executed or simple pass to make two tries a formality: on both he failed.

I think with the one where he failed to pass to Chisholm he was desperately trying to give Vickery a hat-trick.

Very possibly..... there was nothing really at stake.

Bailey (a hopeless go-forward prop better in the back row) should have kept his successful winding up abilities up his sleeve and used them on Poore in a more important match.

One of the highlights of the game was watching the quality of those breaks, Danny looked sharp and elusive, to bust up the middle of the field without a single finger being laid on him was a joy to watch.
There was a confidence around that team, and i liked it.

Hopefully with a full pre season, he will be on form and can stay free from injury. Fantastic player.
