Maguire's potential sacking comes as a shock to many, given the recent success of the Kiwis under his leadership.
The decision is also complicated by Maguire's appointment as the head coach of the New South Wales Origin team.
The dual role has sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest, particularly in regards to the development of Australian rugby league talent.
The NZRL board will have a tough decision to make, weighing Maguire's recent achievements against the potential for future conflicts.
If Maguire is indeed let go, the search for his replacement will be crucial, with Cayless and Jones emerging as top candidates.
The coming weeks will be tense as the fate of Maguire's coaching career hangs in the balance.
