Only months after urging the state to get behind the NSW jersey again, Michael Maguire has committed an act of treason so unforgivable he should be placed on the border quarantine list alongside fruit flies and Cameron Smith.
With the Tooheys barely dry on the winners shield after orchestrating a 2-1 series win over rivals Queensland, the Blues coach has callously walked out on New South Wales and defected to the enemy’s proxy.
Shaking the southern state from a rare cocoon of Origin bliss, Maguire is set to take up the head coaching role at the Brisbane 카지노사이트 Broncos after being released from the final year of his deal with the NSWRL.
No doubt, this is a gut-punch to the NSW abdomen that has floored our state and left our impending dynasty gasping for air.
Not only does Maguire’s decision leave us coach-less, directionless and facing many gruelling months of pleading with Phil Gould.
It also sucks because the only listless brand he should be rescuing is ours, not the failing flagship club of our interstate rivals and the home to a bevy of its stars.
But while we’d rather lick a cane toad than get stood-up for Queensland, the chief reason Maguire’s betrayal hurts is because he sold us the dream and we naively gobbled it up.
