North Queensland will head into the 2019 NRL season with arguably the strongest forward pack in the competition after signing Australian lock Josh McGuire to a four-year deal. McGuire on Monday was released from the final two seasons of his Brisbane contract to take up a rich deal with the Cowboys worth a reported $3.2 million.
The Queensland and Test back-rower will add significant punch to a Cowboys forward unit which already features Jason Taumalolo, Matt Scott, Jordan McLean, Coen Hess and Gavin Cooper. "I coached Josh as a junior at both the Queensland Academy of Sport and the Broncos Academy and have followed his career closely," Cowboys coach Paul Green said. "His development over the years has really impressed me, and to reconnect and have the opportunity to work with him again, is something I'm personally really looking forward to.
