You can\u2019t fault how they try,\u201d Maguire said post-match.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, at the moment we\u2019re not getting things going our way, so I feel for everyone that\u2019s going through it at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cBut they\u2019re a group that support each other and that\u2019s what it\u2019s about now. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got to make sure that we look after each other through this period.\u201d<\/p>\n Stand-in skipper Patrick Carrigan acknowledged that the result was difficult to comprehend, but he refused \u201cto play victim\u201d as the premiership defence came to an end.<\/p>\n ‘The players deserve a heap of credit’ | 05:58<\/p>\n Although they have nothing to play for, he insisted that the club remains determined to finish the season off strongly with Adam Reynolds, Gehamat Shibasaki and Payne Haas departed at the end of this year\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cThoroughly disappointed. It\u2019s something each individual sets out to achieve at the start of every year, let alone on the back of last year, but I\u2019m not going to play victim to it, to be honest,\u201d Carrigan said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not having a lot of luck at the moment, but we\u2019re all accountable to be able to get our job done and we didn\u2019t get it done tonight. We\u2019re fighting hard. The effort is there. <\/p>\n \u201cObviously boys are playing out of position, but every club\u2019s dealing with that at the moment so it\u2019s disappointing that our year\u2019s finishing.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we\u2019ve still got a lot to play for and a lot of the boys in that change room that mean a lot to this club and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to keep doing.\u201d<\/p>\n Newcastle OFFICIALLY end Broncos season | 02:42<\/p>\n Speaking on behalf of the playing group, the star forward accepted responsibility for their performance and stated that they had fallen short of expectations. <\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s hard to stand behind performances like that but I think as players we take accountability for that,\u201d Carrigan continued.<\/p>\n \u201cMadge has detailed his preparation and his care for us. <\/p>\n \u201cPlayers is second to none and like I said before, it\u2019s a playing group that goes out on the field and get an opportunity to perform in those eighty minutes and we\u2019re not nailing our job at the moment. <\/p>\n \u201cOnce you cross that white line it\u2019s up to you as an individual and we\u2019re falling short. <\/p>\n \u201cWhilst our performances have been off, there\u2019s definitely a lot of belief there and we\u2019re a hundred per cent behind Madge and as a playing group we have to turn this around.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane Broncos coach Michael Maguire and stand-in captain Patrick Carrigan have opened up on their disappointment after the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":837931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-837930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837930","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=837930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/837931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
