Reports indicate that the Broncos are poised to offer Michael Maguire a contract extension.
However, one commentator has described the treatment of the Brisbane coach this season as "disgraceful."
Currently, the Broncos are facing the alarming prospect of being the first team in two decades to miss the finals following a championship win.
To avert this unwanted scenario, they must secure victories in their remaining seven matches.
Maguire, who achieved a title victory in his inaugural year with the Broncos, has endured significant scrutiny throughout the season due to the team's underwhelming performance.
This has raised questions about the future of Maguire as head coach, especially regarding the potential extension of his contract, which is set to expire at the end of 2027.
Peter Badel, a journalist for The Courier Mail who covers the Broncos, described the criticism directed at Maguire as "unfair" and "farcical."
"I think the analysis of Michael Maguire has been the most disgraceful I've seen of a coach in a very long time," Badel remarked during an episode of NRL360.
