Thurston 'selflshly' stayed on. Ha! He had a year left on his contract. I doubt the Cowboys were complaining that Thurston was playing on at the time either. As at the start of the 2018 year the Cowboys were tipped as premiership favorites by the pundits. People love to rewrite history to suit...

Exactly. Also the Catalans stint happened ten years ago. Since then Kevin Walters has been a assistant to Wayne Bennett at the Broncos, an assistant to Craig Bellamy at the Storm, and Queensland coach. I find it ridiculous that the Catalans stint is dredged up as a reason not to hire Walters...

Peter Sterling has suggested that has to be taken into consideration too about experience. Which is why he thinks Paul Green has the edge. Sterling also suggested that the lobbying from the old boys needs hush up and the let the process take its course. The pro-Walters backers will argue that...

I'm not sure about that. I'm pretty sure he had no interest in the Titans job. One thing I do know was it was widely reported that the Titans job was his if he wanted it in 2017. Kevin Walters by then had won his second state of origin series and was a hot commodity and the Titans had parted...

I'm happy to give Kevin Walters are shot it. The two jobs that Walters got by-passed Tigers (Mick Potter) and Broncos (Anthony Seibold) didn't panned out for either respective clubs. And the Walters baggers are not coming up with answers and lingering with "but, but, but, Kevie's not the...

That is a good thing. Brad Fittler made a great point on Freddy and the eighth. When Paul Green was let go by the Cowboys it wasn't known to the media until it was announced. When Anthony Seibold departed the Broncos the news was well and truly out there before there was a press conference...

Yeah to be fair to Michael Maguire though that Tigers roster is not up to scratch. Its been well documented that Ivan Clearly has left that club locked into some awful contracts. There is only so much Maguire can do, and being over training them or overbearing can't completely be the reason why...

Interesting this was the feedback why the Tigers went with Mick Potter rather then Kevin Walters as coach in 2012. You can say what you want about Walters. The fact remains history hasn't been kind to the decision makers that have spurned him for the Tigers and the Broncos coaching jobs thus...

You are correct the Panthers did punt him, and they were fifth on the ladder when they did it. Which just reinforces my point that hasn't been given as many chances as other coaches around the league. Anyway I'm happy for Kevin Walters to get his shot.

Agreed. How things has turned out this season I actually don't think Anthony Griffin was too bad in retrospect. If Griffin was at another club he wouldn't have got punted - but because he was at the Broncos the bar is set higher then most other clubs. And when I say that I don't mean that in a...

We are talking about installing discipline as obviously these players were coming from a Emerging Origin camp. These players did in fact have players who could have possibly make the team in Dylan Napa and Valentine Holmes at the time (2016). Ben Hunt, Anthony Milford, and Cameron Munster were...

People have short memories. As Queensland coach Kevin Walters supported a ban on the Emerging Origin camp after 6 players broke a curfew and went out drinking when they were not supposed too. All the players involved were ineligible to be selected for state of origin for 12 months which had the...

I read today that if Kevin Walters does get the Broncos head coaching job. That a potential scenario of coaching Queensland this year and then taking over the Broncos job after the series isn't likely an option. It is believed the short off-season and looming Broncos clean-out would make it...

I don't mind either, providing they do it when there off contract. He is contracted until 2022 and should honour that deal instead of looking to bail when things get tough. He has a problem with that then deal with it. I for one am not filthy with David Fifita because he is doing exactly that...

I'm not defending the journalists, but I also don't buy this 'talk up the game' crap either. This was pushed by Todd Greenberg and some at NRL headquaters who wanted to deflect from their poor performances. I must say Tevita Pangai jnr explanation seems very shakey. As some have noted he did...

It might happen. Apparently, he's been training this week at fullback. Billy Slater made a great point that taking the captaincy away from Darius Boyd crushed his soul a little bit. The stripping of the captaincy was a knee jerk reaction to the finals Parramatta rout. It never really made sense...

Yeah but on the flip side of the coin it was reported the Cowboys paid out a cool million to part ways with Paul Green. As Mark Geyer notes this crap about clubs wanting more money from the NRL and then burning through cash to pay out coaches not coaching is fiscally irresponsible. Especially...

Interestingly according to the Courier Mail Anthony Griffin won't be considered for the Cowboys coaching job. Which might make some of the Kevin Walters backers nervous, still holding out hope of him being appointed coach of the Broncos . It does also mention in the article the Cowboys are big...

Paul Green name has been linked with the Broncos. That's can't be a good sign for Anthony Seibold. It give's you an indication that people are looking past you rather then working with you. The good news for Seibold is I'm not sure I would hold the rumor with baded breath. And I wouldn't even...

It was reported in the Courier Mail Ben Ikin is in the mix to replace Paul White as CEO of the Broncos. "There is a strong tip around rugby league circles that the Brisbane Broncos are keen to chat with highly regarded NRL 360 host Ben Ikin about a possible interest in the club’s chief...
