Brisbane committed 18 errors against the Sea Eagles, 15 of those in the second forty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys unfortunately, didn\u2019t give themselves an opportunity with the lack of possession that we had and then obviously off the back of errors you put fatigue into yourself and then you can\u2019t give yourselves a chance. So, that was the disappointing part,\u201d Maguire said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilly fundamental errors cost us \u2026 it was disappointing for us. <\/p>\n

\u201cTonight was one of those nights we\u2019ll have to look pretty deep and make sure we fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brisbane have now lost two on the trot by a combined margin of 42 points.<\/p>\n

Being without a number of their better players for much of the season, Maguire was asked if the constant chopping and changing to the line up has been taxing on his side. <\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t buy into that at all. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest with you that\u2019s not an excuse,\u201d Maguire said matter-of-factly. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got full confidence in those players in that change room. I came down here with high expectations about how they go about things and we weren\u2019t able to do that tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe missed the mark tonight, it\u2019s as simple as that. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou go back a couple of weeks ago and people talked about the people we didn\u2019t have. Well, we were able to perform in Campbelltown against the Tigers and then against Canterbury. That\u2019s the expectation that the players have. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love how they expect that and tonight they\u2019re hurting because they know that\u2019s not the way the Broncos can play. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf we give ourselves possession and complete high, which we did in those two wins, you can perform the way we know we can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Maguire is refusing to blame the Broncos\u2019 ugly loss to Manly on a bulging casualty ward, believing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":659967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[18743,64,63,689,4428,318910,68514,763,4601,11471,6407,318908,761,762,673,158,677,13390,668,30384,85,318909],"class_list":["post-659966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-adam-reynolds","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-bulging-injury-toll","tag-campbelltown","tag-fox-league","tag-manly-sea-eagles","tag-match-report","tag-michael-maguire","tag-michael-maguire-brisbane-press","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-new-south-wales","tag-nrl","tag-oceania","tag-payne-haas","tag-press-conference","tag-rugby-league-news","tag-sports","tag-ugly-loss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/659967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
