Called this for about a year or so now. I know Burrow showed glimpses but in general we looked much more organised and sharper passing wise when McGuire was at the 7 spot.

I know everyone loves Rob so I expect a bit of ribbing but every time we have had mcguire at 7 in the last 18 months he has stood out more than Burrow has.

i think its more the case of sinfield playing 6 but i must admit that mags has been our best player this year

maggs is a better 7

bit of a knee jerk.

This was one game.

we've won 3 titles on the trot with burrow at 7 and he won MOM in one playing there.

Im not the knee jerking type. It's just an honest observation of McGuire playing SH over the last 18 months or so. Don't get me wrong, Burrow still has some class about him and has been awesome over the last 8 years but I think we look a better team with McGuire at 7.

As I said this is not based just on this season. I have said this even when we have been the form team.

I do see yer point H and i know exactly what you mean but......
I personally prefer having all 3 on in the starting 13.
What having Mcguire at 7 and Sinfield at 6 does do imo is force them to stick to a more rigid gameplan whereas with all 3 we can/do drift from it alot more but like i said all 3 is my preference.

Sometimes the drift in having all 3 on the pitch at the same time leaves us with no game plan at all or looking lost on the park. All 3 can work if they stick to a single gameplan.

Fair point.
Although it equally makes it a nightmare for defences to read and shut down so a "double edged sword" and like the post above suggests we've come good on GF night with all 3 in the 13.

If ya can be ar$ed and I don't expect you to be, I have posted many times over the years maggs is a better 7. I'm not say rob is crap, I'm a burrow fan and when he's in top form he's magic. maggs is simply a better player.

But how many times has mcguire played 7, and who against?

It can't be that often by my reckoning because burrow hasn't had any especially long injury layoffs and when it's come to the big games we've operated with burrow at 7 and had success.

You say that like it's a failing, like i [ishould[/i be ar$ed. to trawl through a posters postings dating back years just to find something he posted.

I'm not exactly a hollywood
A lister.....but i do have [iabit[/i of a life.

I don't read through every thread and every post on this board, and people putting mcguire forward as a better 7 is not something i've seen posted often, then he plays 7 and suddenly every man and his dog said all along he was a better 7, it just struck me as a knee jerk reaction.

I do generally like all 3 on the park, but against a big pack it allow us a extra forward on the field.
