If you dropped Chase into the current Leeds structure he would look crap, so no surprise that we have looked "short" (no pun intended) at halfback this season.

What current Leeds structure?

Indeed. Chase won't alter that.

Chase makes thing happen with ball in hand, he's prepared to take the ball to the line and take defenders on and has a good short kicking game in the attacking zones, creating opportunities, building pressure through repeat sets. I'd suggest he would bring to Leeds some of what they are sadly currently lacking at half-back.

Whether Sinfield would appreciate his presence however.

Mr Bywater will be along in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.............

I might be interested in swapping Chase for McGuire.

Thus preventing us from seeing what one of the best support players in the league can do with one of the best players at "making things happen".

We could put him on advertising posters with Ian Kirke, like the Wayne MacDonald - Rob Burrow "Tallest and shortest" posters.

It could be the best player at making things happen and the best player at making absolutely nothing happen....

It's an amusing anecdote, but I wouldn't level that at McGuire

Arguably the biggest problem the club faces IMHO. Satisfying the ongoing megalomaniac cravings of the current skipper for exerting his influence throughout the team and club.

If by the former you mean McGuire then I suggest you rev up the DeLorean and come back to 2011 from 2004.

This will be like catnip to Bywater.

Since when did you take the role of ByWater's chief pleasurer? Are you waiting for him on the corner of the pitch?
