The former Leeds great has six games left but is not chasing silverware; his last stand is saving Hull KR’s season
Danny McGuire will not have much time to indulge in any of the usual post-retirement benefits given how he will be thrust into a new role as Hull Kingston Rovers’ head of recruitment next year but before then there is still one more battle for one of the modern game’s most successful players to win.
McGuire’s illustrious 16-year spell as a Leeds player saw him hoover up eight Super League titles and two Challenge Cups but, while his former teammates and fellow greats Kevin Sinfield and Jamie Peacock ended their playing careers with a Grand Final victory in 2015, McGuire will spend the final six weeks of his battling for survival with the Robins.
