It's truly bizarre and highlights just how ingrained the culture is over there now.
two premierships with two different clubs, a SoO series on your first try that probably should have been a sweep, plus the Kiwis role.
That’s true, but the blow up with the assistant Ben Te’o further goes into an over the top character though. This happens at other clubs, but Maguire already has this known trait. On the flip side, he has two premierships and runs on the board internationally and soo. Rumours broncos have reached out to Brad Thorn to come onboard as an assistant coach and would probably be of value with some runs on the board as opposed to someone starting out like Te’o who may not garner the same respect for their opinion? Though it’s viewed Te’o’s defensive coaching has been a big factor to their success from what I’ve seen

People dont like a high performer with high standards. Madge turned up and showed them they can actually win if they knuckled down and worked harder.
The fact is that the coach is at the mercy of results and an underperforming team puts pressure on a guy where there’s already some public scrutiny. They came right last year so the hope will be that the same can be achieved, and I’m sure it can. Maguire is a great coach and the Kiwis thrived under him, but also the broncos is a club where I would imagine there’s plenty of player power, and I’m going to be interested next year how a strong figure like Barnett asserts himself into Carrigan’s team as a leader? Really interested to see what broncos follow up last season’s success with, being fresh off a premiership I wouldn’t imagine Maguire is under any pressure currently thoughApparently Te'o was clashing heads with Madge last year, too.
Maybe, maybe not. Their defense didn't win them anything under Walters, so I'm not as convinced of this.
I think there was A LOT of loyalty (from anyone who's not making the hiring decisions at the Donkies) to Walters and Madge is copping it because he is the replacement.
Madge is renown for being a hard ass, but they're lording the Hass leaving over his head, when he's been talking about it for four years.

Combine that with NSW going back to their losing ways without Madge and you've got a pretty good intent to hate the guy.
It's just pathetic.
If Barnett being interested in going to knights for $650k is true, it tells me broncos isn’t his first choice. Though that could well be rubbish and either way he’ll definitely put in no matter what. I’m surprised that it doesn’t get much attention his injury history since joining us, he’s absolute quality but there’s a risk there. I think he’s done well with this contract
I’ve been interested in reading the sharks forum over the past few days and their fans commenting on the regression of AFB and how in some of theirs view we utilised him better, almost making him X factor in how we were doing it. Barnett owes a lot to his own determination and drive to where he’s gotten, but I don’t believe he becomes the player he is without ever joining Warriors, whether that be the coaching or belief in him, it’s paid dividends
Hard to fly like a bird, when everyone around you is a turkey.
I’ve never thought it was a coincidence that Ivan Cleary seemed to endorse Jett coming to Warriors over bulldogs. Might be nothing and entirely Jett’s decision, but I think Ivan really rates Webster
