According to a report by news.com.au, Queensland legend Mal Meninga has expressed his support for Michael Maguire to take on the New South Wales (NSW) coaching role for 2024.

Meninga, who was instrumental in Queensland's eight consecutive State of Origin series wins, believes that Maguire would excel in the position.

Despite currently coaching the New Zealand national team and working as an assistant with the Canberra Raiders, Maguire is considered a strong candidate for the vacant Blues job.

While no official announcement has been made, it is expected that the decision regarding the NSW coaching role will be made after Maguire completes his duties with the New Zealand team in the Pacific Championships final in Hamilton.
