Not that I heard. I thought he played decent though. Didnt look off the pace and caused a bit of a problem for them everytime he took on the line. Cant fault him for not scoring either as it was an excelent ankle tap by Duggan (was it?)

I thought it was lupton no15!!

Danny hasnt reproduced the form of the 2004 season and until he does he will always be regarded as underachieving

2004 he was nothing more then a support player, he's now a lot more complete & better player

My appologies. I didnt make it clear that the above statement was not my oppinon. I agree with you but not everyone can see that far

I thought he got caught in possession a few times too many

Lets not forget it was his 1st match and he's also been carrying a knock in pre-season.
He played a key role in both of smithy's trys and whilst he wasn't a 100% on top form he still did well imo and the couple of dropped balls in the first half did come from less than accurate passes.

Leon Pryce a far better player in my opinion. A class act is pryce Maguire a very fit player with tremendous supporting ability thats about it.

Disagree on the "just a supporting player" comment now as he has added a lot to his game. He has had to do this because he has lost a hell of a lot of pace after his leg injuries. Most of the tries he scores now are self made although he is still a very good support player and he creates a lot now compared to 4 or 5 years ago. IMO though he is a better SH than a SO and I have said this for a couple of seasons now.

Agree on Pryce being the better SO out of the 2 though (enter numerous Leeds fans saying he hasnt been seen since week 2 of the Play Offs )

in fairness i think pyrce is a very good player, however the above statement is also very true. if he wants to be a great player (or even just better then mcguire) then going missing at the business end of the year is not helping
