“I’ve had so many arguments with Wayne Bennett, Michael Maguire, Ricky Stuart and Steve Kearney, all great coaches.

The trouble is last year, that the run of good wins disguised how badly coached they actually were. They managed to get by on good talent in good form. The trouble is when the form slips or some of the talent is missing, there is nothing to fall back on. A well coached team would not have lost the GF last year from the position they were in. Unless they start in blistering form, Kev won’t make the end of next season.

“Two biggest things that shocked me [while working at the Broncos in 2022]… one, there were way too many mirrors in the gym; and two, you weren’t allowed to sweat, and if you did, you carried a towel with you.

“This palatial gymnasium they have looks more like a hairdressing salon.

“Wayne Bennett won many titles in a rusted old gym beside the bowls club. I walked into the Broncos in 2022 and there’s a trainer per player doing something that justified their existence and position there.

He's a shit coach, but this guy sounds like a wanker. He's really complaining that he had to work in proper facilities and not a run down gym?

Lack of discipline, and the unwillingness of the coaches and admin at the Broncos to instil that discipline helped cause the downfall this year. Also poor recruitment and retention. Not finding adequate replacements for those forwards who left (e.g. Flegler) at the end of last season ensured the fall.

Some of these quotes are just hilarious, from listing Stephen Kearney in a group of 'great coaches' to suggesting they'd be better in an old gym where they are free to leave sweat everywhere.

The reality is that Walters is a bad coach because he cannot gameplan. Last season's success was based on Walsh and Mam's break out seasons. But clubs had an offseason to adjust to their game. Walters isn't good enough to adjust for this. Just like how the Broncos collapsed in 2022 and in the 2023 Grand Final, when plan A doesn't work he is out of ideas.

Something has to change. It looks to me like it has to be the coach.

Does Kev have enough pride/ honour to resign? Doubt it. And this is the problem. It all about the club. That's what we seem to hear all the time. Well who pays ya f**ken wages Kev?

I still can't work out how they lost that '23 GF.
I don't reckon I've seen such a weak gutted capitulation like that in a GF ever.
It was completely in the bag.

Yeah, but had it given to him by a side that just completely stopped playing. They showed not a shred of competitive spirit in that last 15 or so. It was absolutely breathtakingly gutless.

Or was it taken from them when they thought “closing the game out” was their best option?
