Brisbane Broncos players Adam Reynolds and Kotoni Staggs have dismissed rumors of discontent within the team regarding new coach Michael Maguire's training methods.
Despite a challenging season that has seen the team win only one out of their last seven matches, Reynolds and Staggs maintain that the squad embraces the hard training style that Maguire provides.
Reports suggest that Maguire has faced criticism for pushing the players too hard; however, the senior players strongly refute these claims.
Reynolds, preparing for his 300th game, and Staggs both emphasize that the coaching approach is not a source of frustration among the players.
Following a significant 34-6 loss to Manly, former premiership-winner Greg Alexander criticized the Broncos, remarking they had "turned it up" and referred to them as "wusses" for complaining about the intensity of their training.
In response to the reports of player unrest, Staggs firmly stated, "That's a load of crap, I say."
The Broncos aim to overcome their recent struggles and regain momentum in the season, with their senior players rallying around the coaching staff.
