That's his season over

Soon as I saw the incident I suspected it was broken/serious injury at the time and was puzzled why the medical staff didn't stretcher Danny off .

Hope you have a speedy recovery Danny.

all the best danny hope it all goes ok

Horrible. Done it myself and it hurts a lot.

Where was the stretcher last night? And the medical care in the dugout was kind of rudimentary... it looked like they were sticking a big plaster on his leg!

Was the tackle legit? - can't stand to watch it again meself

Shame but these things happen in fast collision sport

3 to 4 months at the least. Doubt we'll see him back this season.

Surprised they kept him in the dugout when there's a hospital less than 5 minutes away.

They probably wanted to see how it swelled up before sending him to hospital. Shame for Danny and he has been one of my favourite players to watch over the years but this gives us an opportunity to look at life after him now.

Sadly, I just see our problems worsening as Burrow will move to 7.

Unfortunately you are probably right.
Burrow will play SH and instead of putting Sinfield back in at LF he will play Sutcliffe there.
For me he has to play Sutcliffe at SO as he might just create something more than Sinfield does.

Yes, to look. Not be ready though. We should have been preparing for this scenario long ago. And don't tell me Sutcliffe was the plan. Had the lad not had such a good year last year he would have been released. Hopefully though he shows that there is options outside of the first team squad, and can kick on for us. But personally see Sutcliffe more as a 13. Think Ward looks like more the six if given the job.

Shame for McGuire, but in the same way that injuries to Senior and Webb forced Hetherington into making difficult decisions hopefully the same will happen with McGuire.

He's a shadow of what he was at his peak. Time to say thank you and best wishes.

Sadly, I can see Burrow moving to 7 with McShane getting more minutes at 9 and Sutcliffe continuing to be wasted as a battering ram. If Leeds aren't going to use him as a pivot, then they may as well let him go play somewhere else rather than ruin his career turning him into something he's not.

No chance he'll be back for the play-offs then?

Like they have done to Ward, he was a talented ball handling pivot, he is now a second row tackling machine - such a waste.

And looks what it's doing to his body. Two serious shoulder I jury's in as many years

As I never tire of saying the balance to the team is all wrong, as you remark ward is a smart footballer and we get him trying to punch holes in the opposition defence. I am worried for the lad, two operations for a young lad is serious .
At the risk of repeating myself some of our problems started when buderus left, we then got Lunt who whilst not as good as buderus was playing well. Unfortunately we let him go,be interesting to see the line up against cas. They will be fancying their chances.
If all goes to plan it could be late July early August before we get a full squad back.

Leeds didn't "let" Shaun Lunt go anywhere.

Lunt was contracted to Huddersfield and allowed to go out on loan because Nathan Brown is an idiot.

In order to sign him, Leeds would have had to pay a significant transfer fee given he still had plenty of time left on his Huddersfield contract and Anderson wanted him back as his starting hooker.

A blessing in disguise although I hate to say it!! He was awful and has been or some time now, the problem is as someone has already stated is the Coach who will move Burrow there which at least gets him the hell away from 9!!

Wishing Danny a speedy recovery, hate to see players get seriously injured whoever they play for. (Hull fan) and good luck for the rest of the season, I still wouldn't be surprised to see you lifting the trophy come the end of the season

Hoping for a quick recovery for Danny and he's back on the pitch soon. We all watch RL for the great players and Danny is one of them.

Its those rugby league gods again, obviously.

Nice one Phil

I seem to remember a London fan warning us that McDermott would fill his team with second rowers. So much so he's converting play-makers to the position.

A terrible shame for Danny. His pace appeared to have gone before this and I hope he can bounce back.

I'm certain I'll be in a minority but I think it's no bad thing for Burrow to slot in at 7. In fact, it may be a positive. We went from one of the fastest half back pairings in the league (Burrow and McGuire at his peak) to one of the slowest (Sinfield and McGuire now) and we've lost some sazzle as a result.

Hope it's not a bad break and he's back before the end of the season. A fit and on form McGuire are crucial if we are to win the GF.
Regarding the blooding of youngsters, we have a good track record and the coach gets unfair criticism IMO. Ward could turn out to be a great 6 but he has been given time to settle into the team without that responsibility of playmaker. Someone on here made the excellent point that when Sinfield was starting out he was given a similar role. He could have picked up shoulder injuries in whichever position he was playing. Watkins seems to have had his share of injuries already despite playing centre/wing most of his short career.

As for throwing young lads straight into the halves.....note Saints, Lomax is now at FB and Gaskell playing centre at Salford.

And Tomkins is playing fullback at Wigan. Gosh, I bet they wish they had never given him a go at half back too.

Yeah hopefully Stevie Ward will be starting FB by 2014!
