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.
