I know it's probably a silly question since he works with the National team, but this guy has a decent pedigree, right?

@Redfern_1980 has big wraps on him.

 

[Foordy]

So is he going to do a Frank Ponissi type role ... A strength and conditioning type role.

Some combination of the two or none of the above

Lol

Maybe he carries Maguire's baseball bat around for him and hands it to him when he needs it.

I think he is taking over from the guy who was seen in shot when Boyd did the cringe worthy gender reveal. So a lot of organisation / logistics. Hey he comes with pedigree, I want guys with pedigree in every position of the club.

He seems to be very experienced. Been around a long time too. Would be surprised if hes any worse than sleepy Joe. So it'll be a positive regardless.

Was with us at Souths for nearly 5 years. Signed by Madge back then before he was headhunted for the position with the Kangaroos. He is elite when it comes to high performance, strength and conditioning. Was credited a lot towards our successful 2014 year.

No doubt Madge wanted him onboard with him again. Fantastic signing and will have your boys as fit as can possibly be.

Adam Walsh is still wellbeing and education.

He's operations, he will oversee the whole program.

 

[Nashy]

Getting rid of Kevvie's mates can only be a good thing.

Maybe he carries Maguire's baseball bat around for him and hands it to him when he needs it.

I'd prefer he carried one of his own to help with the adjustment.

 

[Redfern_1980]

A step up in duties and responsibilities compared to his previous Rabbitohs role by the sounds of it @1910, but he would have obviously gained a heck of a lot experience and knowledge in his time with the Kangaroos etc over the past 10 years since he left Souths. I'd say you are in very good hands with Tommo now overseeing things.

A bit of barbed wire wrapped around it. Negan style management...

By gawd, it's Cactus Jack!

 

[theshed]

bit hard to compete with the Ponisi rumours but seems a good get none the less

I'm not expecting instant success on any front. It's McGuire's journey and he's putting his stamp on things. He knows what he needs, the roster is more than decent.

He gets a pass in the first year unless it's 26 rounds to zero. Excited to see how his influence on the business translate to onfeild success.

Also interested in his off season pick ups, will indicate his thoughts.

Particularly interested in the spine. Hopefully Ezra and Walsh mature under McGuire.

I wish Ben Ikin was still with us.

Nope, he's got no leeway, he needs to perform up front.
