...says Smith, but unfortunately, we have seen zero evidence of this - and that's precisely why the blowtorch is as firmly on Kev as it is.

Doesn't address a single thing I said, but hey, whatever. I'm not defending him mate, he shouldn't have been in the side if he's not fit to be there and if the club can't get the best from him then move him on.

You've never been to Cherbourg, have you? Even Murgon? Yes, he has issues, but he's not the first nor will be the last NRL player with those. If the Broncos as a club can't help him stay on the straight and narrow then we need to cut him loose. Another club will, or he'll be lost to the...

And good riddance to a **** I loathe like none other. Storm 40+, full strength or reserve grade won't matter.

He's done. That's the only thing I can take from that presser. Kev, if the players don't realise the pressure on the club every week, I'm sorry but that's on you. It's YOUR job as head coach to make sure the guys on the payroll are focused mentally and right physically to give 100% on the...

Beggars belief Ben was even in the 17 tonight.

I'm not going to bag the bloke for not being right, shit happens and he's not been 100% for what seems like most of the year. I do have to ask though why did Kev play him when he's so off?? He almost wasn't there tonight. I know we're down on troops (R&R again...) but we had Oates as 18th...

Zero structure. Everything is telegraphed. It's so easy to read, there's no other bodies in motion to drag defenders away even if the fuckers could catch it. Which they don't, 9 times out of 10. Truly stupid.

It doesn't? Finals in 1 of his 4 years is good enough? Does he get all of next year to miss finals again, or....what exactly are you proposing?

Then clean out the R&R team and clean out the fucking squad as well. Yes, I do think this team would do better with a better coach. But yes, there's also glaring squad issues as well (second row...cough) which need a good, hard, clear look by the club. I have zero faith in the club to sort...

The issue with the 6 again is that it was brought in, in the first place.

Haas still immense even though he's busted. Patty was in everything, again, as always. Mozer the only one with any fucking line speed, shut down some things and was pretty solid for the most part with the ball too. We have a good one there, if he's not starting next year we march on Red Hill...

To be fair, it's not like they're not putting in, they tried their rings out tonight (can't say the same for the whole season, but the back end they absolutely have). They simply have no game plan. With a solid coach this is a premiership side at full strength.

What about STILL not having a single fucking set play to pull out in the attacking 20m? In Round 26? We have barely seen a single structured play in the red zone all year. That's squarely, solely, coaching.

Absolutely, it's been the exception to the rule of Kev's tenure. Also, we lost. Again.

Walters has had all fucking year to "do something" and has done precisely NOTHING since Round 1. Still not a single fucking clue in attack. Nothing is going to change until we get some decent fucking coaching staff. The NRL can suck a dick as well, I hate this version of the game and I won't...

Yup, this still makes me sad. Kid was on a trajectory like very few others.

Well at this point it's either The or Storm, not sure which is worse tbh but either way it will be a fitting end to an absolute bludger of a season. Let's hope all involved have learnt something and 2025 is closer to 2023 than 2024.

So have we now had as many Victorian players on our books as Storm have had on theirs?

It's too early to say just yet, but if they make the GF this year then they have replicated what the Broncos did - spoon to GF in 3 years. The important question is, has there been significant improvement during Kev's tenure. Let's compare average stats from season-to-date 2024 with 2022 as...
