I don't know about McGuire, but a Mbye swap is a good deal for us, I am over him after today, I tried to be supportive, but he has no place in the team
McGuire has played hooker at international level. So could stand in at a pinch which means we dont have to carry two hookers, and that negates Mbyes value. We can now carry four good forwards on the bench.
A bit more starch in the forwards. Just turned 31, and surely has 18 months left in him. Thats his current contract anyway. Lose nothing, because youre payingfor Mbye. If you get Mbyes 800k back next year or even this year, who is available to buy anyway?
No thanks. All things equal, McGuire is a more valuable player than Mbye. However, we've got a good middle third. McGuire doesn't represent a sizable enough upgrade over who we've got to justify paying him rep level player coin.
If we're swapping Mbye for anyone, it should be a winger or a half. Otherwise take the cap space.
Not Maguire we don’t need him. Player that would be a massive risk but maybe similar to Ofehengaue is Coen Hess. Absolute monster for 5 years then fell off a cliff.
