Brisbane Broncos head coach Michael Maguire is reportedly preparing to make a seismic call that could shake the club to its core, with reports emerging that he is ready to terminate the contract of a current first-grade player earning a reported $900,000 per year.
Sources close to the club have revealed that Maguire has issued an ultimatum to the high-profile player, telling him to “make a decision within the next few days or the club will make it for him.”
While the player has not yet been publicly named, the situation is understood to involve concerns around form, commitment, and the direction of the team under Maguire’s no-nonsense leadership. The coach, who took over the top job earlier this year, has made it clear he won’t shy away from tough calls as he looks to rebuild the Broncos into a premiership threat.
“The message is clear – you’re either all in or you’re out,” said a club insider. “Madge [Maguire] doesn’t care about reputations or price tags. If you’re not delivering, you’re not part of his plan.”
Speculation is already swirling as to which star could be on the chopping block, with several high-priced players under pressure following inconsistent performances throughout the 2025 NRL season.
The Broncos have yet to issue an official statement, but fans and pundits alike are bracing for what could be one of the most dramatic roster shake-ups in recent memory.
