It's good to hear, however, that even in your stats McGuire is out in front.
I suppose the advantage of the yearbook figure is that its easier to compare McGuire to Pryce.
Player------------------Try------Total App-----Try/App Danny McGuire--------135---------166----------0.813253012
vs
Leon Pryce-------------Try------Total App-----Try/App At St. Helens-----------40-----------80----------0.5 At Bradford-------------86----------188---------0.4574 Total--------------------126---------268---------0.470149
I hadn't realised that Pryce had played 100 games more than McGuire, I guess that means that Pryce is 3 years more experienced or so, something that should be borne in mind when comparing the two.

Thats a fair point.
...but is that a point in his favour, or a point in McGuires?

We have a winner. Well done your Lordship.
It works for McGuire at least. (I'll check a few more in a minute.)
No WCC, No Premiership and No Challenge Cup then. Leeds have played 57 such competitive 1st grade fixtures over the SL Era but there's the answer.
EDIT: McGuire, Bai, Calderwood, Donald and Webb all check out as SL Reg Rds + SL Play Offs.

Well, when anybody says Pryce is better or more complete then so he should be given three years more development. That there is so little to choose between them now could be used as an argument that McGuire is a much better player.

Off the bench for Ben Walker. Usually anyway. He scored his 1st try away at Widnes (I think in the game Ben Walker missed a kick infront of the posts) and also scored 2 more at home to Cas the day that GB got hammered by the Aussies down under.
Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.
