But of course he is... Beat me to it, fucking LOL. Yet again, if it comes to pass, we're the fucking crash test dummy. Go **** yourself NRL.

Still too soon...... A thought that hit me lastnight is I wonder if R&R hasn't actually been as lazy/slow as they seem, but the Madge thing has been in the works for months (likely) and the decision was made by higher up to hold off until he could be a party to R&R decisions...? This would...

Theoretically, who do you reckon would join us? I'd like to think the other QLD teams would. Which of the Sydney teams are jack of the NRL too? Storm would likely stay. I reckon with our relationship with the Warriors they might consider it. It's an interesting thought experiment.

This sounds to me like what many of us suspected...the squad (and perhaps even coaching staff??) got big heads after last year, had an interrupted pre-season, expected this year to just happen like last year did and for the most part bought into the press and had overinflated egos to match all...

It seems the club needs a cleanout from top to bottom. Very few should be safe in the entire structure. I do hope that was part of the end-of-season review and there are things moving in that space as well. Sacking Kev should have just been the start. This club really needs to aim fucking...

Standards. From top to bottom, all on the same page. We need way more of that. DD and Madge + football boss, drag this club into the 2020's please.

Kev didn't make the grand final, that's Storm and Panthers, again. Our boys didn't make the finals, but you know this. It's a results-driven business and Kev didn't get the results - and didn't have any answers on how to get those results, either. It appears he has no idea why last year was...

As in coaches, DD, or Board? Where does the buck (heh) stop?

I am, and I'll own it. I don't think he "has it" regardless of what is being thrown around in the media of late. With the right support staff around him, perhaps - but I don't have faith in what the club seems to be putting together for next year in that respect either. I stand by my opinion...

Look I agree to some extent, but I'm sure Kev would be the first to tell you that's no excuse because everyone in the squad is NRL quality and we should be winning games regardless of who takes the field. And he'd be right. Yes there is a drop in quality from Walsh to Sailor, and Reyno to...

And he was REALLY good in those, even the mid-season rounds where he was clearly starting to struggle.

I don't mind RCG but only if another of the middles are going, and of the ones on the books I would probably only be looking at Baker and Tapau for that, maybe Hetherington...I think Hunt and Gos may be worth persisting with at this stage, but it's hard to tell as well. Why did we resign...

Edit: unverifiable

Sounds like a great assistant coach to me.

Kev's said himself the finals is a pass mark for the club. That makes 3 of 4 seasons a failure. What are they doing to ensure next year doesn't suffer the same fate? "We'll do things differently". Great, that fills me with confidence...given that we did the same fucking thing all year and...

No money left I guess. ***** me how we're going to make up our Top 30. Atrocious. No backup FB save for Cobbo, but then there's limited backs cover anyway. Still no second rowers. etc. Rinse and repeat.

Nope, this isn't true. The kid has plenty of shortcomings but a lack of hitups is not one of them. He takes one every set coming out of trouble usually. He still shouldn't be anywhere near the Broncos NRL team though.

Genuinely think I'm done with the NRL after this season after 30-something years. I've always said that I don't support the NRL (due to NSW bias etc) and the bullshit 6-again etc has completely ruined it for me. When I can sit and watch any old game on the weekend and see blindingly incorrect...

Pretty sure many on here have always questioned his coaching ability and mentioned the importance of getting good, quality assistants around him. Teo and Barrett ain't it. If, by all appearances, something happened within the playing group and Kev hasn't been able to bring them together... Ok...
