McGuire informed BBC Radio Leeds: “It was an odd one. We had him on a two-week mortgage, and he had the chance to remain and play in opposition to Saints, and he wasn’t fairly snug with the scenario. I get that.”
He added: “We will not afford to have anybody within the setting who is not 100% in, and he had some doubts about taking part in in opposition to his team-mates after which perhaps being again there the week after, so I took it out of his palms, and he is gone again to St Helens.
“It isn’t a perfect scenario, however he was good for us whereas he was right here.”
