“I’m seeing now, the way they’re going about it, they’re leading to the levels that I want them to.”

The comment about Maguire being “different” resonates. When asked how so, there is a pause as he considers how to respond.

“Yeah, righto,” he says finally. “I’m full on. I live and breathe it every day.

“That’s basically where you find success. Any top business person who I’ve met over time, they’ve got an obsession about succeeding and getting an individual to a higher level.

“Some people understand that, sometimes it takes a little bit of time to get an understanding and some people don’t.

“But one thing I know is that once they get aligned, they’ll find the successes they’re chasing.”

The excitement surrounding the Broncos this year is palpable. It is a club that demands success but, for all of its resources and natural advantages, it has proved elusive. It has been 19 years since the biggest club in the league won a premiership, but Maguire is undaunted.

“I love the fact that it’s got expectation. The more expectation, the better,” Maguire says, before adding finishing with one of his favourite phrases.

“We haven’t done anything yet.”

That may soon be about to change. Maguire knows that every chance that you get should be treated as if it’s your last, because it may well be.
