Who is Casey McGuire?

Casey McGuire is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. A Queensland State of Origin representative half back, he played his club football in Australasia's National Rugby League for the Brisbane Broncos and Parramatta Eels, as well as in Europe's Super League for the Catalans Dragons.

McGuire made his NRL debut for Parramatta in 1998. The next season he returned to Queensland to play for Brisbane. At the Broncos he was a utility player, normally used in games from the bench. He achieved selection for the Queensland Maroons in 2005.

Selected to play from the interchange bench in the 2006 NRL Grand Final, McGuire's last game for the Broncos, he threw a miracle pass which contributed to Brisbane's match-winning try.

The next season he moved to France to play in Super League for Les Catalans. Having initially started playing the halves at Les Catalans, McGuire increasingly found himself playing at hooker and sharing much of the creative responsibilities with Adam Mogg and Thomas Bosc. He became a key figure in the side. He had also been named in the France squad for the Four Nations tournament, qualifying under the three-year residency rule, but did not play.
