Broncos star Pat Carrigan reveals Michael Maguire's tough pre-season helped Brisbane win the NRL premiership.
Broncos star Pat Carrigan has revealed Michael Maguire's torturous pre-season that steeled Brisbane's NRL premiership campaign was even "worse" than what's been reported.
The Broncos finally snapped a 19-year title drought in a thrilling 26-22 grand final win against Melbourne in Sydney last Sunday night.
Like they did in comeback finals wins against Canberra and Penrith, the Broncos fought back from a 22-12 first half deficit and hung on for a gritty win to clinch the club's first premiership since 2006.
Fullback Reece Walsh produced arguably the greatest individual performance in NRL grand final history to secure the Clive Churchill Medal.
