Renowned disciplinarian Michael Maguire wasted no time imposing his authority on the Brisbane Broncos as pre-season training kicked off.

The new head coach, who has replaced Kevin Walters at the helm, has a mammoth task ahead to revamp the club's culture and elevate them back into NRL finals contention after a lackluster 12th-place finish in 2024.

Critics had long targeted the Broncos for their poor completion rates and lackluster defense, pointing to underlying attitude issues within the team.

Maguire, known for his tough coaching style, has been recruited to address these shortcomings head-on.

Reports suggest that Maguire is already shaking things up at Broncos training, cracking down on lax attitudes and demanding accountability from all players, especially the senior members.

In grueling pre-season sessions under the scorching Brisbane sun, players have been pushed to their limits with intense workouts involving sprints, wrestling, and skill drills.

It's said that the new regime has already seen as many as eight players succumb to the harsh training methods, with some even losing their lunch on the field.

Maguire's strict approach is a stark contrast to the lax atmosphere that had previously lingered at Broncos training sessions, with the coach leaving no room for complacency as he strives to instill a winning mentality in his players.

The Broncos are set for a transformation under Maguire's leadership, with hopes of a resurgence in the upcoming NRL season.
