Broncos player speaks out over Micheal Maguire,s shock move that could see him dumped 

Brisbane Broncos star Adam Reynolds has addressed Michael Maguire’s surprise appointment as the new head coach, a move that could have significant repercussions for the team, including the potential departure of some players. Maguire’s selection follows Kevin Walters’ exit, despite the Broncos’ recent successes, including a grand final appearance.

Reynolds, who previously worked with Maguire during their time at the South Sydney Rabbitohs, acknowledged the challenges the appointment might bring. “Madge [Maguire] is known for his tough approach and high expectations,” Reynolds said. “He’s not afraid to make bold decisions to achieve success, and that’s something the team will need to adjust to quickly.”

Maguire’s coaching style, characterized by its intensity and emphasis on discipline, has a history of polarizing players. While it brought him success with South Sydney in 2014, it also led to friction within the squad. Reynolds admitted that some Broncos players might find the transition difficult. “There are always risks when a new coach comes in, especially one with Madge’s reputation. It’s a fresh start for everyone, but it also means nobody’s position is guaranteed.”

One of the concerns surrounding Maguire’s arrival is how it will impact younger players like Reece Walsh, who recently committed his future to the Broncos. However, Walsh expressed optimism about working under Maguire. “I’ve had some conversations with him, and he’s all about helping players grow both on and off the field,” Walsh said. “I’m excited to learn from him and take my game to the next level.”

Despite some reservations, Reynolds is optimistic about the direction the team is headed. “Madge’s track record speaks for itself. He’s here to win, and we have the talent to back it up. It’s about embracing his vision and pushing ourselves harder.”

The Broncos are expected to face a period of adjustment as Maguire implements his strategies. Whether the decision proves to be a masterstroke or creates further disruption remains to be seen.
