Canberra Raiders assistant and New Zealand Kiwis head coach Michael Maguire is expected to have made a call on whether he will take over the NSW Blues job by the end of next week.
The impending decision for the NSWRL and Maguire, while widely expected, has led to plenty of speculation for both the Canberra Raiders and New Zealand national side.
Maguire, who was sacked by the Wests Tigers in the middle of the 2022 season, spent the 2023 campaign as the right-hand man to Ricky Stuart in the nation's capital at the Canberra Raiders, while also continuing his role as head coach of the Kiwis.
