Michael Maguire has revealed the "empty feeling" that ultimately led to him coaching Brisbane as his predecessor Kevin Walters expressed his "shock" at being fired.
The new Broncos mentor, speaking at the club's season launch, reflected on a poignant moment of deep reflection on July 18 last year. He had just wrapped up a 2-1 State of Origin series win as NSW coach and had a moment of illumination that made him realise he wanted to return to NRL clubland, where he had spent 10 years with South Sydney and Wests Tigers.
