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.

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

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

He looked good last night pity the rest of the team were sh+t with him coming next year why do we not on is days of get him to come and teach our 6and 7 how to play we need them firing to get up

I've taken the liberty of correcting you above

.

No disrespect to anyone on here, but most people only take note of opposition players when they're playing against your team. Of course, some also watch on TV, but as a fan of the Rhinos I've watched McGuire weekly for 17 years or more.

As a youngster he was a superb support player, had electric pace and an eye for the gap. To score so many tries in RL you have to. He played at scrum half and stand off but had little or no organising skills in his youth. He was very much the individual, but what an individual he was. Major knee problems have slowed him down in recent years (along with age) but his rugby brain has improved immensely. So much so that he has become an incredible organiser and (when the wind is blowing in the right direction) a very clever play maker. It's a shame that he has lost his pace. If that was still there he'd be one of the best players in RL.

Either way, he's a very shrewd signing for HKR. I think you'll easily get 2 years out of him.

luke leaner is spot on about danny mcguire i think hell do a good job for rovers albert kelly is playing well for hull fc why cant people see the whole picture instead of "if he doesnt play for my team he is not a good player "

Kelly was a good player when with us.looks even better now behind a big pack . Don't think any one is saying he's no good?The bad blood comes from how he behaved and his actions combined with other bad decisions are seen by many as pivotal to the relegation (rightly or wrongly).McGuire iv seen many times and agree with all the superlatives. A real professional,there when it matters and exactly what we need.No point in comparing as one is at end of career the other could go either way but so far so good at his new club

Some of us older ones will remember an old pro with bad knees, supposed to be to old, to slow & well past his best? That Mr Fox turned out to be one of the most astute signings this club ever made (after Rodger) & kick started this club to the best years it has ever had, under his leadership. If Danny is 10% of the quality we have a good addition to the club.

Spot on, I also remember a certain Mr Brian Lockwood, who the pundits said was past is best when we signed him.
He went on to regain his international slot and picked up the Lance Todd.

How did he play tonight?

I thought he bossed the game keep him fit he will be a great signing

in fairness hes playing well,

Himself Burrow and Ellis have all been great players.The Leeds pair have one more dance for the Rhinos. If it chucks it down I wouldn't be surprised to see them win again

Jake, please remind us of your thoughts on Danny Mcguire,based on his total domination of the Ginger one,in last nights game ???

He's a fanny. It will be hilarious watching him run around flapping his arms and spitting his dummy out for rovers next year.

Remind me which of him and kelly have a challenge cup winners medal this year and are on the MOS shortlist?

I'm sure he'll cope having won 7 SL titles and 2 challenge cups.

Of the 3 MOS candidates 2 stood up when it mattered 1 in particular won his team a game they maybe shouldn't have? The other was Kelly who along with Taylor went awol . Even you Jake can't compare Mcguire and Kelly with a straight face? Still waiting for your explanation over all these crap players Leeds are dumping on us?

One will be running out at old Trafford again the other will be in halfway again

9(that's NINE) Grand Final appearances...f#cking 9. He's flapped himself to 7 wins so far and some man of the match awards too I believe and the top try scorer in Superleague history.

Looking forward to see him in a derby next year. Looks a better buy every time I see him play.


9! F#ck he's nearly ran out of fingers.

Danny and Leeds did us a favour by scudding the curly turds out .I have every respect for the likes of Ellis and Chello but the fans would have been unbearable if they'd got to Old Trafford. Goodbye Fonua you made Yeaman seem like a good guy.No argument he was a handful but was the worst for cheating for penalties The chavs Shaul and Connor will replace him as my personal dislikes. The first derby should be a full house and the year without it will reignite what it means after a bit of overkill. Looking forward to see who else we sign in close season?

Gotta say looking forward to the derbies

Yes me to has long has its not to many please not the magic weekend

Hilarious seeing you all big up maguire who I'm sure every one of you has hurled plenty of abuse at from the terraces over the years. He'll be marginally better for rovers than campese
