Broncos' mighty man, Gorden Tallis, gave the cold shoulder to Brisbane's big announcement, as Michael Maguire steps in as the new coach.
Tallis, a Brisbane legend, slammed the news of Maguire taking over from Kevin Walters, who recently parted ways with the club.
The former enforcer expressed his doubts about Maguire's coaching prowess, insisting Walters was the better man for the job.
Maguire, fresh off leading the New South Wales Blues to a historic State of Origin victory, has now set his sights on guiding the Broncos to glory.
After securing his release from the NSWRL, Maguire is poised to sign on with Brisbane for a multi-year contract, with confirmation expected soon.
In a recent interview with The Courier Mail, Maguire expressed his hunger for success with the "prestigious" club.
However, Tallis, a loyal companion of Walters with whom he conquered three NRL Premierships, remains firmly in his corner, refusing to change allegiances.
With Maguire set to take the reins, the Broncos faithful must now rally behind their new leader and hope for a bright future on the rugby league battleground.
