His initial contract was for a year. He broke a 2 year contract with Wigan to take it.

You’re kidding? He’s fucken bonkers to do that. Must have been a serious upgrade pay wise or he saw it as a genuine chance to break into nrl coaching but that can be hard to do going to a development role from the UK with the narrative being that he’s just Kev and Alfs mate. Fair play to him it paid off but wowsers that’s a big move to make especially considering he had 2 years at Wigan still.

That's what I read but maybe the verbals were different. I don't see him going anywhere for some time.
Keep in mind: had we continued on the trajectory of late 2022, Kevvie would be out on his arse by now. His job wasn't secure either.
His role never changed from December to today. He was development coach with attack.
How's Kevvie's Grand Final form.
2001 Grand Final- Casey McGuire scores under the posts as the hooter goes.
2008.
Jets finished first and host the Grand Final- down 18-0 come back and then lose in the last minute.
2015- Thurston in ET
2023- Clearly 30 seconds to go.
Work on getting it done in 60 minutes KW.

This video simultaneously shows what's great about Herbie, and also why I'm excited to see him go. For sure, he's strong, safe and a brutal defender. And for sure, he's menacing close to the line.
But this video, while showing the best of him this season, also shows why he's given me the shits ever since moving into the centres.
All great tries, I won't take anything away from that - congrats and thanks for all the fish - but in not one of them did he even glance sideways to look for support, let alone dummy. What we didn't see is how many potential tries he blew by trying what worked here, but failing. Herbie is, and has always been, about Herbie.
Now he's gone for more money or whatever the **** he wanted, good riddance to the hog. Thankfully Kevvie never gave him fullback. Imagine a fullback who goes it himself every time he gets the ball. I look forward to him doing that against us next season. We know he'll step off his left foot, and he won't pass the ball, until it's too late. I hope we put him on his arse. Every time.

That said, his running backwards try maybe my favourite of all time. Credit where it's due.

He did score some tries with awesome foot work .
The one where he did a blind turn to bamboozle Gutho was a real goodn too .

Yep, he's a terrific winger trapped in the centres. Such a waste.
