Brisbane chairman Karl Morris defends coach Michael Maguire amidst the Broncos' struggles, aiming to salvage their title defense.
Brisbane chairman Karl Morris has launched a passionate defence of Michael Maguire and backed the premiership coach to salvage the Broncos' teetering title defence.
Morris rubbished concerns Maguire could be losing the dressing room as the Brisbane fight to keep their back-to-back title hopes alive in Saturday night's derby against the Titans at Suncorp Stadium.
Languishing in 11th, the Broncos (5-7) are reeling from four straight losses, including last Sunday's 30-26 disaster against the Dragons, which represented Brisbane's worst performance under Maguire's watch.
Such was Maguire's concern, he stormed out of the coach's box and made his way down to the sideline, emulating Canberra's Ricky Stuart as he barked orders at his troops in a futile bid to inspire a comeback win.
Maguire later went nuclear on the squad in the sheds, with veteran playmaker Ben Hunt revealing the two-time premiership coach delivered an all-time spray as he digested the pain of the Dragons snapping a 15-match losing streak.
