McClennan looking forward

The Rhinos bounced back from three consecutive home defeats to run in eight tries against an outclassed Hull side.
"It was a good step forward, a pretty good advancement on where we've been travelling over the last few games. I thought we did a pretty good job overall," said McClennan.
He added: "We've utilised our time off really well. It was a pretty decent side Hull put out. It very tight in the first 20, 30 minutes but you could see we were beginning to get a grip on the game.
"Defensively we lifted up a bit. We know there is still a long way to go but it was nice to be able to assess the team and use the word ruthless about us."
Veteran centre Keith Senior celebrated his 300th appearance for Leeds with a brace of tries in a vintage display.
The 33-year-old former England international, one of only five men to have played in all 14 seasons of Super League, struck midway through the first half for the 151st try of his Leeds career and added another on 66 minutes.
The evergreen three-quarter, who has just signed a new contract for 2010, also brilliantly carved out a 40-metre try for his winger, Ryan Hall, in another demonstration of his continuing value to the Rhinos.
"He was fantastic," added McClennan. "It was an excellent way to celebrate his 300th game for the club.
"He was very dominant out there. He's a hard player to handle and it was a great performance. We ended up putting him in the back row for last 20 minutes."
