McGuire ready for Origin: Gee
FORMER Maroons enforcer Andrew Gee believes Broncos enforcer Josh McGuire is ready for an Origin baptism after the heartbreak of his near miss last season.
A week after spurning a Samoan jumper, McGuire has surged into the Origin frame, pressing his claims on Friday night in Townsville against Cowboys Test props James Tamou and Matt Scott.
Traditionally a slow starter, McGuire has produced the best opening to a season in his five-year career to put himself firmly in contention for his Maroons debut on May 28.
