Coach Micheal McGuire

The win was coming: Maguire

After going down to the Cowboys in Townsville, the Bunnies brushed off a late converted try from the Panthers to march up field and allow for Reynolds to slot the match-winning one-pointer.

NRL.com reports a collective team effort satisfied Maguire the most, who said the combinations were beginning to show out on the field after six rounds of the Telstra Premiership.

"The boys have been working pretty hard over the last few weeks where we haven’t really had too many rewards but it was nice to see them work through that game," Maguire said post-game.
