Wally Lewis is concerned by the push to move Josh McGuire out of position to lock as a long-term replacement for retired NRL great Corey Parker at Brisbane.The Broncos and Queensland legend has also predicted the club could struggle to find their feet next year without former captain Parker, who called time on his stellar 347-game career at the end of the season.McGuire has said his sights are set on filling the lock role in 2017 and beyond despite playing most of his 150 NRL games at prop.Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett has kept the 26-year-old in the dark about whether hell get first crack in the No.13 jumper next year ahead of young contender Jai Arrow.But McGuire has the backing of Australian coach Mal Meninga, who recently described him as the ideal candidate despite missing selection for the Kangaroos Four Nations campaign.Lewis expressed confusion at the prospect, saying it would be a difficult transition for McGuire after he led the Broncos for metres gained from the front-row in 2016.Im not sure about that, Lewis told AAP.Thats strange, going from front-row to lock forward. Itll be tough.Lewis said the Broncos will sorely miss not only Parkers leadership, but also his reliability and consistency in holding down the lock position.I think itll probably take them 6-8 weeks to get used to life without him, Lewis said at the Jack Newton Classic in the Hunter Valley.It does take a while to adjust. Coreys one of those blokes who looked after a certain position for a long time.Hes been their most consistent player over the last seven or eight years.Lewis also urged oft-criticised halves pairing Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford to improve next season if the Broncos were to better this years semi-final exit.He said Hunt in particular suffered from inconsistency in 2016 and was possibly affected by high expectations.He came up last year and everyone thought this is the one, Lewis said.Any halfback at the Broncos over the last few years is going to get compared to the little bloke (Allan Langer).I know Ben himself was extremely disappointed with his efforts last year.Consistency will be his number one priority this year.Lewis expressed shock the Broncos threw a lifeline to Benji Marshall after his exit from St George-Illawarra, but he backed the veteran playmaker to surprise some NRL observers with his contribution to the club.

NEW YORK -- It likely went down as the line of the night on Saturday at the UFCs historic debut at Madison Square Garden. But it might as well sum up Conor McGregors entire career.Id like to take a chance to apologize to ... absolutely nobody! McGregor said, setting off a cacophony of noise -- both supportive and derisive -- inside the legendary arena.McGregor, fresh off of making history at UFC 205 by becoming the promotions first fighter to hold world titles in two weight divisions simultaneously, need not seek repentance from anyone in the fight game. Not even as his behavior in recent days, from showing up late once again at Thursdays news conference to answering questions with constant profanity, has become increasingly crass for even his standards.The worlds most famous fighter took over The Worlds Most Famous Arena and made it his home on Saturday with a second-round knockout of lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, just as he said he would do. In fact, just as he said he would do to every single fighter he has faced over 10 appearances in the Octagon since his 2013 debut -- save for a brief hiccup at welterweight against Nate Diaz in March, which he avenged four months later.As the great Muhammad Ali used to say, its not bragging if you can back it up. And until anyone at 145 -- where McGregor has held the UFCs featherweight title since last December -- or 155 pounds can do anything to stop him, the brazen Irish sensation has free reign to be just as Notorious as he wants to.The Ali reference is apropos in this sense because McGregor is the first combat sports athlete since The Greatest to truly possess Ali-like qualities. No, the parallel isnt perfect, particularly from the sense of cultural significance. But when it comes to entertainment value and the bold ability to back up the endless rhetoric that acts as his shield, McGregor stands alone within his own era.McGregors victory over Alvarez caps a 12-month span of financial and in-cage success that tops what any fighter has done in UFC history. So on the very saame night as the 23rd anniversary of the UFC, in the promotions first appearance in the state of New York since 1997 following a well-documented battle, there was no other fighter worthy to have his face on the marquee on the brightest possible stage.ddddddddddddHaving already supplanted his contemporaries as the greatest draw in UFC history, McGregor is now attempting to creep closer toward the idea of becoming its greatest fighter, as well. No, hes not there yet. To many, he might not even be close. But hes building a resume that each day is becoming harder to quantify with an asterisk like what happens when he finally faces an elite wrestler with a full training camp? Those days, of penalizing his arrogance and lack of a complete game with qualifiers, is nearing completion.Are there fighters in both weight classes in which McGregor holds titles that you could legitimately favor to beat him tomorrow? No question. Unbeaten lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, who looked like a beast in mauling Michael Johnson on Saturday before calling out McGregor, is one of them.But the more he continues to make the kind of outrageous claims that hes talented and just crazy enough to actually back them up inside the cage -- while doing so in such spectacular and effortless fashion -- the closer McGregor comes to mixed martial arts immortality.Like Ali, he spoke of his all-time greatness from the very beginning, long before any of us -- or possibly himself -- was truly in a position to believe it. But theres no longer room to deny it.McGregor couldnt have said it any better Saturday after the fight when he proclaimed, Youve got to have size, reach, length -- youve got to have attributes to defeat me. One of those attributes is audacity, and right now he has no peer.For that, McGregor need not apologize. As long as he continues to back it up, the UFC is his world and the rest of us are just bystanders. ' ' '
