Broncos striker Martin Taupau was publicly apologized to Michael Maguire and the club leadership group after approving an article on social networks criticizing the coach’s intense training style.
But it could have arrived too late, because the veteran propeller is now faced with the prospect of having played his last match in the colors of Broncos.
Taupau attracted the backlash of teammates and staff after having loved a post of the former Wests Tigers Elijah Taylor, who labeled Maguire’s training methods physically and emotionally excessive.
The position, produced on Instagram, said that Maguire’s approach left the players exhausted before the matches and disrupted life at home.
Taylor, who played the Tigers under Maguire, opened on the hard line training regimes that the coach was preparing for the matches.
“Two, training methods. 95% of the time in the field, it is a complete contact … and the most difficult pre-season I have ever made was with Michael Maguire, “he said.

Elijah Taylor played under Maguire at Wests Tigers and said that the sessions were long and exhausting, moving away from the players from their families
Maguire is under pressure at the Broncos after an indifferent start to the season with five victories and five defeats
“Three, time efficiency. Let’s have a meeting for a meeting for a meeting.
“I would go home from training and children no longer know who I am. (I was barely at home.
The criticisms took place in the middle of the pressure on Maguire after the bad form of Brisbane, with four defeats in their last five games.
Taylor said Maguire sessions were above all a complete contact and described his pre-season as the “most difficult” of his career.
He added that the fatigue of the match day was common and called on the coach to rethink his methods to transform the Broncos season.
Taupau approval of the post would have dropped badly with senior players.
He responded by displaying public apology Thursday evening.
“Today, I liked an Elijah Taylor video talking about Michael Maguire’s coaching methods,” wrote Taupau.
Public apology published by Taupau will not be enough to save his career in the LNR at the club
“I regret that because it was not my intention to approve the video. I deleted the same immediately afterwards.
He then praised Maguire, saying: “I really appreciate being trained by Michael Maguire and will continue to do everything I can to help Broncos win a position as Prime Minister in 2025.”
Despite the apologies, Taupau was summoned to in front of the club management group, notably Adam Reynolds, Pat Carrigan, Payne Haas, Ben Hunt and Kotoni Staggs.
The group will decide if other measures are necessary before Sunday shock with the dragons.
Although the dismissal is considered improbable, Taupau is out of contract at the end of 2025 and will not be offered a new agreement.
This decision seems to have been made before this incident, with sources suggesting that the club continues a complete cultural membership under the direction of Maguire.
The 35 -year -old man joined the Manly Broncos in 2023 and played 33 games for the club.
This year, he presented only once, leaving the bench in a defeat of the Round 6 against the Roosters.
Although Taupau is not likely to be dismissed, he is out of the Broncos contract and only presented himself this season this season
He would have had trouble with the intensity of pre-season, collapse almost during racing exercises at 30 degrees on the first day under Maguire.
Brisbane initiates say that mood has changed, with concerns about being “overvalued” contributing to incoherent performance.
Maguire, who won a minister with South Sydney in 2014, has long been known for his rigorous style.
His stay in Souths and later at the Wests Tigers ended in the midst of reports on the professional exhaustion of players and internal tensions.
Players like Chris Grevsmuhl and Elijah Taylor have already talked about extreme Maguire standards.
However, Maguire has his supporters within the Broncos team.
Payne Haas, who played under Maguire in the original state, suggests the suggestions that the coach had lost the locker room.
“I think they are bollocks,” said Haas struck when he was asked about a possible revolt.
“We had our backs. Everyone has believed in this group and what they do with us.
“We support it 100%.
Maguire recently led players to a cruise on the port of Sydney as a liaison session, a decision that also aroused criticism.
Laurie Daley defended the decision, saying that it was simply an alcohol -free connection exercise.
