Michael Maguire says Benji Marshall's axing was the toughest decision of his coaching career but believes anger over the Tigers legend's exit should not be directed solely at him | sarah_keoghan
The coach also told Marshall this week that 2020 would be his final year at the club despite the 35-year-old's desire to play on another season.
"When you get to a player of his age, it's a decision for them to make. If he believes he can do that, there is no reason why they can't," he said. Maguire said it was "disappointing" to see sensitive information leaked from the club and wished Marshall had not found out in such a way.Another leak occurred following a club crisis meeting on Monday, at which players revealed they felt as if they were walking on eggshells around Maguire.
Maguire also urged the code's executives to look at restrictions around player contracts, frustrated at the long-term roster he has inherited from Cleary's tenure.
