How masterstroke signing fixed big Warriors issue; forgotten hero in all-time boilover <\/a><\/p>\nAfter a tumultuous week where club captain Adam Reynolds retired in controversial circumstances, the Broncos came out against the Storm and looked flat from the opening set.<\/p>\n
Maguire was asked if the controversy surrounding Reynolds during the week had anything to do with the loss.<\/p>\n
Maguire still maintained it was Reynolds who decided he wasn\u2019t fit to play and ruled himself out of the game rather than himself and the medical team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s plenty that goes on around every club. There\u2019s plenty that goes on around this club. They rallied around each other. They love their captain and we all wanted him to run out there and have a crack at it, but it just wasn\u2019t to be,\u201d Maguire said.<\/p>\n
The Broncos missed 43 tackles and had the Storm not had a player in the bin for 10 minutes, the scoreline could have blown out past 50.<\/p>\n

Carrigan said he was very frustrated by the way the Broncos have gone about their title defence.<\/p>\n
He looked embarrassed talking about how easy the team has lost their title.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis club has a high standard and rightly so. It\u2019s been a disappointing year, so we\u2019ve got a lot of work to do,\u201d Carrigan said before being asked if the players had let Maguire down this year. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah there\u2019s always sentiment of that,\u201d Carrigan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been here for a while now in the ups and the downs and I\u2019ve always been a big believer that players play the game and we have a responsibility to do that as our job. We\u2019ve missed the mark this year so, yeah, disappointed, frustrated and a lot of hard work has to go into to having a successful season next year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Maguire has had enough of being asked if he should be the Broncos coach in 2027 while…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-870373","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\/870373","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=870373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
