I'd be happy as a pig in manure, swapping a good SO for a genius wins for me every time.

Can you just get back in your hole? I preferred this place when you didn't post.

Would it really improve us in anyway at all?



McGuire has looked Leeds best player by a distance this season for a reason, the players around him have not impressed.



That's not taking anything away from Danny who has really stepped up to the mark, and in truth probably won us two or three matches because of him.



I just can't see how Benji Marshall would have improved that.

You don't think the best current SO playing the game improves a side whose stand off wouldn't make the majority of the NRL starting 13's?

interesting question. by rights Benji is head and shoulders really better than mags, albeit Mags is one of if not the best in SL. ut its a bitter pill to swallow, losing a leeds lad to bring in a 'southerner'. And there is the fact he might not fit into the setup.



So in answer i wouldnt be that happy. i'd only accept it if Mags was looking very very weak on the pitch and HAD to be replaced. As it stands now, no

An overpriced antipodean for a local lad done great for the club?



Nah, it couldn't happen at Leeds.



Even if it did I expect McGuire would still make the 17 and play half the game each week.

prety much what i was going for

Do your own dirty work next time.

Unlike some, I've played the game, and then watched it for many years. One player does not make a team.



McGuire delivered when many of the rest around him failed to match it. I don't see what Benji Marshall would have improved on that.

The antipodean would never be as good because of his lack of GF medals .... both would never win man of match owing to lack of full game time but the latter would be excused whilst the former would forever be castigated.



Of course the local lad would always be justified a bench spot and half a game because the club should be charitable regardless of the rational prudence.

Callum Casey is a halfback whos been signed on a 1 year fulltime deal for next season. Got the U20's Players Player of the Year Award. Hes looked a very good prospect in alot of games this year, also signed up for next year are Liam Hood, Jared Stewart and Bradley Singleton on 3 year deals.

Danny's injury is really serious with both the medial & cruciate ligaments ruptured. It will take some time but at least he will have the best medical and remedial help. So we certainly need to get some cover. Ideally i would prefer to recruit a talented youngster as we need to plan the succession in any case. However failing this I would not object to a top class Aussie on short term contract who could bridge the gap for us until we see how Danny recovers.



We also do need to sign a go forward prop even if JP makes a full recovery.
