Michael Maguire’s career was supposed to be on life support. But thanks to a player whose own NRL career was dead six months ago, the Tigers caused the upset of the season | SMHsport
On the last day of the holy holiday, Michael Maguire provided the real Easter miracle. The coach lives.
Hastings, a man whose own NRL career appeared dead when he was run out of Manly before going to England, stepped up to the mark in the dying seconds, snapping a long-range one-pointer after earlier botching the chance for a match-winning field goal from an easier position.Only eight days after saying the Tigers couldn’t turn around the club overnight, the coach turned their attitude around in a week.
“I’ve been coached by some very good coaches, but the hours and dedication [Maguire] puts in, it’s up to us players to repay him. That’s massive for us as a club.”that Maguire’s coaching box during the first five rounds looked like a morgue.Eels centre Will Penisini takes on the Tigers defence.His call to resurrect Brooks as a five-eighth alongside the returning Hastings is the last - and most improbable - miracle of the holy holiday.
Brooks finished the game at hooker, out of necessity, when Jake Simpkin was helped off the field with a nasty ankle injury in the second half.
