Kevvy is clearly not a good coach so I am wondering how he came so close to stopping a Panthers three peat. Unbelievable
Momentum is a funny thing. Last year they had it. Until Nathan Cleary decided to halt it. This year they never really got rolling. Similar story with the Warriors. Or the Cows in 2022 and last year. Any team can have a good year. Keeping the roll going is very difficult. It should be much easier for Brisbane than other teams with all their natural advantages, but in the last decade the aura they used to have has really worn off. Even Bennett's final game in charge was a humiliating loss to the Mary-coached Dragons on their own dunghill. They're just another team who have up and down years now. Melbourne and Penrith have the aura now.

Thats what the players themselves will tell you.

I think they need to keep Kevvie. Its the players that need to be punted or at least have their egos pulled in
While I don’t necessarily disagree that the roster needs to look at itself, how exactly do you punt the players? Not having a go, but it’s not like it’s a single playmaker not pulling his weight that could be replaced; if the whole roster is underperforming you don’t have any option but to punt the coach.

Yeah it is a disaster. DD has been a flop of a CEO and the club is run by the opinions of the old boys like a high school drama group.

I can't think of who we'd go after. Not much could be worse than Kevvie (other than TBaz) - the players aren't learning. First Gamble called it out, then Cobbo did. If Cobbo is speaking up on a podcast, well Kevvie is f**king shit. Cobbo barely speaks ffs.

Go after Willie Peters, I say. Whatever. I'm at desperation levels.
Would you go the Walker Bros? Or has that ship sailed?

There comes a time where empires do eventual fall..
