McGuire backs Demetriou to be NRL coach

But yeah lads, have at it! I’d like to see the different opinions you all have on this. I’d like to see where the support for James Roberts is coming from. Brisbane forward Josh McGuire has backed Jason Demetriou to step up to a head NRL coaching role but insists the Broncos can't lose regardless of who replaces Wayne Bennett. Bennett's future forms a key part in the coaching merry-go-round, with the long-time Broncos mentor told he won't be at the club in 2020 and rumours circulating he'll be at Wests Tigers as early as next year. The 68-year-old wouldn't go into his future on Tuesday when quizzed while coaching England but it's now believed the Broncos are ready to begin the interview process to find his successor. That list of candidates is expected to include Demetriou, 
New Zealand coach Michael Maguire, Queensland State of Origin mentor Kevin Walters and South Sydney's Anthony Seibold - who is contracted to the Rabbitohs until the end of next year. McGuire has worked with Demetriou, Walters and Seibold in separate capacities and believes any of the trio would be ideal to take over from Bennett in either 2019 or 2020. He has a special level of respect for Demetriou, who joined the Broncos at the end of 2016 after winning Queensland and NSW Cup titles in the two years previous. "Jason's a tremendous coach and very much capable of being a head coach anywhere," McGuire told reporters in Kangaroos camp in Auckland.
