Broncos rocked in \u2018Suncorp miracle\u2019 as furious Walsh act exposes Madge\u2019s nightmare<\/a><\/p>\nKini MAGIC seals dramatic late victory | 00:47<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re bloody trying. I\u2019ve got a group that\u2019s trying hard it just things aren\u2019t clicking for us at time,\u201d Maguire said post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had two tries in the first half bounce away and I can\u2019t fault the effort the players are putting in. <\/p>\n
\u201cLast week we were where we needed to be but this week they turned up training and they had a red-hot crack to make sure we were prepared and ready to go. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou make your own joy in our game and we\u2019ve got parts of our game that we just need to get better at.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s players there who have played a few games like Preston Riki. <\/p>\n
Cronk exposes costly Ezra Mam decision | 00:37<\/p>\n
\u201cHe came in and he actually performed really well tonight, the way he went about things. But it\u2019s about getting the results, we all know that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Maguire defended his side\u2019s performance, he did admit that their form is a concern at the moment, having failed to register a win in their past five matches and finding themselves falling down the NRL ladder.<\/p>\n
Sitting in 12th place – and potentially 13th if the Bulldogs win on Monday against the Eels – they will now face the Rabbitohs, Roosters and Cronulla Sharks over the next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing\u2019s always a concern. We obviously want to turn up and win. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here. We\u2019ve got a club that\u2019s got an expectation around that,\u201d Maguire continued.<\/p>\n
Sami puts the footwork on to burn Walsh | 00:34<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment we\u2019re just not being able to dig those out. I thought tonight with the way they went around their game, compared to where we were last week. <\/p>\n
\u201cLast week was disappointing. This week, we had a red-hot crack. It went right to the death and that\u2019s what the NRL is, every team can win. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know you\u2019re talking about teams that are down the bottom of the ladder but it\u2019s about being able to turn up and make sure that you\u2019ve got to be at your best. That\u2019s what the game demands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane Broncos coach Michael Maguire was grilled on the fitness of Reece Walsh after the superstar fullback was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-464642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
