Brisbane Broncos great Ben Te’o is expected to resign from his post as the club’s defensive coach, amid a falling-out with head coach Michael Maguire.
The team is expected to train at 4pm on Tuesday and Te’o is not expected to be there.
The Broncos will then confirm their position on the situation.
Te’o, who played 96 NRL games for the side, had been lauded for injecting a hard edge into the defending champions since arriving at Red Hill.
Te’o and Maguire won a title together when Te’o played under Maguire at South Sydney.
However, they were involved in a heated verbal altercation in the lead-up to the Broncos’ weekend triumph over the Melbourne Storm.
Brisbane’s general manager of football operations, Troy Thomson, held a meeting between the two on Monday in an attempt to restore peace.
At a pre-scheduled media conference, Brisbane forward Ben Talty told reporters he had only just heard the speculation on Tuesday morning.
“I saw it on Instagram this morning, I haven’t read too much into it. I don’t know what’s coming or how true the situation is, but I can’t really comment on it,” Talty said.
“Benny’s a fantastic coach, he’s our defence coach, and we try to pride ourselves on our defence as well as a team.”
