Will McLeod retire too?

Postby Dig » Fri Jun 04, 2010 3:47 pm

Any thoughts on whether this will be McLeod's last season too?
My gut feeling is he will announce his retirement in a month or two and play the season out.

Well his book is coming out this year so you'd think his exit plan is well underway.

So that makes Woewodin a better player than McLeod does it? Hard to split McLeod from Roo and Wangas but both the Brownlow and Premiership medal arguments are totally flawed.

Unless there is a surgical breakthrough that can fix his knee - like the sheep cartilage transfers someone in Tassie was experimenting with - I think he should retire while he can still walk.

What do you think Macca will do now?

I personally think he is getting himself ready for one last game in round 22.
