How can Michael Maguire reboot the Blues while juggling jobs with New Zealand and Canberra?
So instead of signing Laurie Daley, a coach it last sacked, the NSWRL has plopped for Michael Maguire, a coach last sacked by the Wests Tigers.A week after seriously looking at Daley as NSW coach comes the news Maguire has all but accepted the job – essentially because there are few viable options left standing.
Nor will his appointment imbue all Blues fans with great confidence. He’s a good coach, sure: he led Souths to the promised land of their first premiership in 43 years; he’s done well with New Zealand, coaching them to within a whisker of a World Cup final last year; and he’s been a welcome addition at Canberra for Ricky Stuart.The argument goes that “Madge” is better suited to an extreme three-match series like Origin instead of the grind of a 30-week season.
A lot can happen between now and May next year, but Maguire will need to make the tough call of tapping captain and fullback James Tedesco on the shoulder and telling him to concentrate on the Roosters. Queensland’s defence picked off almost every Blues move in the first two matches of this year’s series, their outside defenders racing up and suffocating the play each time the ball shifted wide.
