ROUND 17 PREVIEW: 'If I'm Brisbane, I'm not re-signing Michael Maguire' Mick's blunt Broncos verdict

Author: Code Sports June 25, 2026 Duration: 32:15

Michael Maguire's Broncos future is under the microscope as Brisbane's form crisis deepens, while the panel asks whether the Dolphins have overtaken the Broncos as Queensland's premier club ahead of their Round 17 top-four showdown with the Warriors. Elsewhere: Cody Walker's future and Bronson Xerri's move away from the Bulldogs (Storm or Eels?), Spencer Leniu's Roosters exit edging closer, and Junior Paulo's Parramatta contract stand-off. The boys also lock in their tips for the full Round 17 slate, tackle the mailbag on the bunker's forward-pass calls and whether halves are over-protected by the refs, and debate who's really second favourite for the comp behind Penrith.
