'Madge had it in his head that Seibs knifed him.'
"It wasn't true that Seibold backstabbed Madge. I spoke to Seibs about the job two days after we let Madge go. That's the truth."
Seibold last year spoke out against claims that he'd backstabbed Maguire, saying that he was "offended" by the suggestion. He said that he had spoken to Maguire since his dismissal from Souths, even taking a call from him on the day of his first game as Rabbitohs head coach. Seibold has built a short but powerful list of enemies in the NRL for such a young coach. He has also carried out a running battle with Wayne Bennett, the current Rabbitohs coach, who was unceremoniously dumped by Brisbane so that the Broncos could bring in the rookie mentor.
Seibold is trying to build on a win against the Bulldogs, Brisbane's first since the NRL's resumption, when his side faces Wests Tigers. The Broncos are running 14th, with a poor 3-6 record thanks to six consecutive losses before last weekend. Maguire's team is coming off a loss to Bennett's Rabbitohs, which left them in a precarious eighth spot on the ladder.
