I really hope we have amother half back signed up that can play the general role... Or Lilley is given a good pre season and a chance to prove himself.

He's given every Leeds fan some wonderful memories. But for the rugby Gods striking him down we'd have had 5 GF wins on the bounce, no question. Now lets send him off at the top!

Danny McGuire has been a fantastic player and ambassador for our club

I have been privileged watching Danny progress at the club from when he initially joined as a youngster and played in our academy sides, right through to the Glory years that subsequently followed.

Danny played vital parts in all of our successes since his unforgettable cameo role in the Challenge Cup semi final extra time win v Saints in 2003

Danny will be remembered as a true legend of our great club and his name will be engraved in the fabric of our club forever more

I posted this back in 2014 when Danny's integrity was called into question from a Wigan fan



Danny will be remembered by most as a legend of our club but he will be remembered by me as an even better person for the services he has undertaken to help the under privileged kids without shouting about it from the rooftops

Respect Danny you've certainly earned it

A Leeds legend, good luck Danny Mags.

5 tries v Widnes at HQ was a particular highlight for me, probably around 12 years ago now if memory serves me right

Expect Danny to be turning out for Hull KR or Catalan Dragons next season, subject to super league status. - You heard it first

As a saints fan he broke my heart on countless occasions but I can't say a bad word about him. Fantastic player and role model. Wish him all the best

I wonder if JJB and Rob Burrow are staying on for one more year ?

Hello everyone, thought appropriate to post first time on Danny Maguire leaving.

A Leeds legend can't add anything to what's been posted already!

Thank you.

Without doubt danny has been one of our all time greats, especially as he is a local boy. I note that he has not ruled out playing for a super league club next season. My bet would be player coach /assistant coach with a championship side.
Surprised that none of the posters on here who are in the RL gossip loop haven't come up with some info. Even a bit of unsubstantiated gossip would be interesting.

I would be happy with both going on for another year. JJB still gets through a ton of work and adds value to the squad, and although Burrow has struggled with niggles this year he is always a good option from the interchange.

That said i could equally understand if they wanted to go out on top at the end of this season, shouldn't be long till we find out.

I'd be sad to see him line up for another SL club... Hope it doesn't happen.

A true modern great who has given everything to the cause. It takes a lot of backbone to make an announcement like this as I'm sure Hetherington and McDermott would have kept him if he asked. I'm honoured to have been able to watch him all these years and I hope that he is as successful in his next career move as he has been with us.

I know we have signed Myler, and Lilley has signed a new deal but I wonder if we have got a marquee stand off coming in.

Danny Mcguire ,Legend ,thanks for all the memories.
Good luck for the future.
Right time to get out, at the top.

I'm more gutted about this than I was when Sinfield and JP retired to be honest, the idea of seeing McGuire play for another SL club is very saddening. He's one of the modern greats of the game in this country, not just for Leeds, but across the game, but he's definitely earned the right to go out on his own terms.

So many great moments. Personally will always remember the 2011 semi against Warrington for his part in Ryan Halls try. Supporting burrow just like he had done from being youth players but then bending his run and passing at the crucial time to put hall in.

Outstanding in 2015 his pass to Handley against saints after the Watkins break was superb.

Hopefully he stays involved at Leeds a great player who could be a great coach.

his signature moment will always be the GF winner against the Bulls in 2004 that kick started our era of success.. the moments i will remember the most though and i think typifies the man is the 2008 GF against saints when we were pretty big underdogs, but in the teeming rain, backs against the wall in the second half who was on hand to get the 2 tries to clinch the game? you know who!

big game player Danny, and always seemed to come to the party in those games, we will miss him for sure when he goes. lets hope we can send him out a winner like Sinfield in October

My favourite player of the modern era! Total class! From my area! Has always given his all for the shirt! For the vast majority of his career his been different class.

I'd prefer to see him quit so he doesn't play for anyone else, but huge respect to McGuire for leaving at a time which is probably best for the club, if not himself.

His tryscoring record as a halfback is simply phenomenal - 4th in our all-time list - and includes a number of vital and spectacular efforts. My favourite was probably against the Bulldogs in the 2005 WCC. Just breathtaking speed and self confidence.

This is a "re-print" of something I once posted but as Danny was pivotal I thinks it's worth another look. In 2003 we had been going to more and more matches and this is the moment when I realised I was absolutely hooked and from 2004 have been a season ticket holder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1-y1D_c4tQ Watch from 7:49. When Dunneman put the kick through for Danny to chase the South Stand around me went absolutely nuts and the noise and excitement was just amazing. (Watching it back though I can't believe Kev missed the kick!)

Tho Danny's highlights reel will be pretty long and probably topped off with the 2004 GF try, I'll always think of this game when I remember Mags...

Thanks for the memories Danny



So only JJB and Burrow left now of the golden generation (a don't really include Ablett and Hall, despite their achievements due to age) plus the south stand going, it's been building for a couple of years but this really is the end of an era (and hopefully the start of a new one)

Superb match that semi in 2003.
