There may only be one NRL game this weekend but the NRL world continues to move at a drastic pace.
Kevin Walters leaving the Broncos looks to have had a flow on effect as NSW Origin coach Michael Maguire has stepped down, seemingly Broncos bound.
With Maguire stepping down, the Blues suddenly need to kickstart yet another search for their next coach.
Maguire, having delivered an Origin victory despite overseeing a loss in the series opener, is a huge loss, but the Blues can't dwell on the past.
Below are five potential candidates for the now vacant NSW Origin coaching job:
5. Justin Holbrook
If the Blues want an experienced option, the current Roosters assistant looks a brilliant choice.
Holbrook helped see the Roosters to a Prelim Final on the back of a 2024 NRL best 738 points scored.
Holbrook has 168 games as top grade head coach, including 81 i charge of the Gold Coast Titans. He has also oversees the PMs 11 and PNG.
He has rep experience too having coached the Australian under 21 side.
Holbrook ticks a lot of boxes in terms of experience but he has also enjoyed success. He took St Helens in the Super League to glory, including their version of the Minor Premiership by a margin of 16 competition points.
Another who was probably removed from his club coaching role in unfair circumstances, Holbrook handled it brilliantly and moved to the Roosters quickly.
Holbrook as head coach, with the likes of Buderus of Toovey as an assistant certainly looks a quality option.
