Not really. We’ve had almost 2 months to plan for this by the sound of things. Not the best time of year to look for new signings but if we haven’t got some options for a replacement in mind I’d be disappointed.

So you're just taking one person's word on here as gospel?


We're definitely looking at recruiting and replacing him.

There, does that make you feel any better?

Its disappointing to lose him because he's been great this season but I don't think we need to rush a replacement, mcguire will be like an immediate replacement anyway as of next week. We should just see who becomes available, and recruit for the longer term IMO. This week we have Vaughan, dudson, philbin, thomas and mikaele, the following week barring possible injuries, we have the same less mikaele but with the inclusion of kasiano and mcguire after their suspensions end. I don't think we are at panic stations at all for the time being.

If mikaele has stayed for 7 games to help us out, then I'm really grateful to him for his great contribution to our brilliant start to the season and towards keeping us up last season. Good luck to him and his family for the future.

I think we have a well-balanced squad, even without Mikaele. It kind of feels like we have an immediate replacement in McGuire anyway, even though they are different types of players.

Makes sense to keep the cap space in our back pocket and wait for the perfect player, rather than getting someone in for the sake of it.

Legend already

Let's hope McGuire doesn't do anything silly in his first game back in the hot bed of southern France....

Dunamis Lui, rumoured to be coming in. 33 year old Prop/loose currently playing queensland cup in Aus, played 150 plus NRL games previously and earned an origin call up in 2020.

The money is to be used offering 2 players extensions so no new players coming that are going to be in Herbert's money

I saw that Madam Boyd post.
Another Asotasi I think.

Do you mean he's a great place kicker with a 100% record?

I've no idea whether or not there is any truth to the rumour but it wouldn't be a disaster if we signed him for the remainder of the season. He would presumably be signed as cover and he’s probably a better option than putting a young prop on the bench only to then either not use him or else see him get knocked on his behind.

Not happening.
