Probably plays twice as long as Mose Masoe, if fit Raea is a very good signing (A bit like Masoe, if he puts more effort than he did at Saints)

only twice as many, Christ your glasses must be fading?

You're right, Kelly is going to Wembley and for the second time in his career. However, unlike Kelly, McGuire has been there and come away with a winners medal several times over.

Twice does not count as several

Ok, if you want to be pedantic, but you get my drift. Kelly, the good player he is when he wants to be, will never match the record of McGuire, nor will many others for that matter. McGuire's record speaks for itself. First player to score 200 tries in Super, played in several grand finals, picking up the winners medal on 5 of those occasions I believe, world cup challenge winners medal 3 times, umpteen international caps, the Harry Sunderland winner in 2015, the list goes on.
People can say what they like about him, but the fact is he will go down as one of the all time greats and still has plenty to offer in my opinion. He has achieved in rugby league what most players, including Kelly can only dream about.

Never tested himself at the top level then

Still a good player,can`t see any argument against it.

Re: Danny McGuire : Sat Aug 05, 2017 11:08 am  

He was good in a well beaten team in cup semi.He was very good last night behind a pack which turned up.How we could do with him guiding the team now

Re: Danny McGuire : Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:59 pm  

Maguire was top draw for Leeds in our semi their best player by far very good signing for you at 35 players are always a risk with injury bodies are just not the same and do not recover fast as before but he has a good injury record and still plenty to offer even in a well beaten pack like in the semi final
