“He’s a veteran across every part of the game,” Maguire said.
“He’s probably playing some of the best footy of his career at the moment.
“It’s still a work in progress, nothing is done at this stage, but if it eventuates, we’d be getting a highly experienced player, a family man, a great human and someone with high standards.
“That’s why he’s stayed at the top of his game for so long and he’s still performing at a very high level.
“What I’m chasing is the culture of what the Broncos are about and he understands that.”
“At Souths, I was involved in bringing him to the club before I left during that transition period,” Maguire said.
“The experience he brings is valuable and we’ve got young players coming through like Niu and Coates who can learn from Dane.
“What he’s doing now at Newcastle is outstanding and he gives a lot back to younger players.
“That’s important for where our club is heading with the youth we have coming through.”
“He’d play anywhere,” Maguire said.
“If it comes about, I’m sure he’d be happy to play wherever he’s needed.
“Dane is a pro. He’s from a different walk of life.”
