Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Wolfie]

I have a lot of empathy for Kev. It must a shit show and I can’t imagine how tough it was to do so without a CEO for 6 months.

Im not attacking Kev’s character, or even the results. I just don’t like any of his tactical moves so far this season (outside of the Panthers game plan). Hopefully if he gets enough smart operators around him, he can just focus on being passionate and building culture because he is struggling in most other facets so far.

Hopefully a good enough roster and club structure will be put in place that the head coach doesn’t need to be a superstar to succeed. Kev needs to significantly improve though to get an extension.

i do think the rest of this season is Kev’s chance to prove himself. He’s got to have his little deck shuffling experiment for 15 rounds and we are now basically at full strength (except TPJ but you can’t use the guy who you tries to offload early being suspended as an excuse). He and the team have also had a break to regather themselves. He’s had a good look at the entire group now and got to experiment with his bench. He should now be able to pick the best possible line up and bench rotation (at least in his opinion) week in week out and show his coaching ability to have them improve and finish the season strong.

You can only judge him so far on his coaching ( because the roster management he can do very little about right now) and its falling short. I agree with you, from now until the end of the season we simply have to see improvement and Kevvie has to improve the team. I'm not expecting wins, i'm expecting to see more cohesion, better executed game plans, the team having a better structure etc. I didnt think we would be under Kevvie, but we are actually a worse and more fragile side so far. Staggs back will help, and i think we should have a more settled side, but the time for excuses with this club needs to be over. We need to get out of this loser mentality we have built up. Remember this saying from when i was a kid and i think its pretty relevant for us right now, you can make excuses, or you can make progress, your choice.

The leaks are still coming after White and Nolan have left the club and Donuts has been proactive in trying to damage control. Now, who could it be still leaking info? Good thing we have no bloke at the club who is REALLY high up, a fan of another club, works for a giant media company and has just been extended for longer in his role.

So I have no clue who the leak might be.

Only if the club wants to hire some extra full time lawyers to deal with Clive Palmers inevitable BS.

I don't think DD is dumb enough to go near him.

 

[Fozz]

Also no. Don't need that toxicity around the club.

Can I ask where does this allegation that Morris works for a giant media company come from? Or is that simply because he is the Chairperson of the Board for the Broncos? In which case on that logic every person employed by the Broncos works for a giant media company and has done for years.

Two very interesting points re the CEO and getting smart operators around him.

The club probably hasn't learnt how to run without a strong personality like Bennet.

Maybe a few people's inadequacies are only coming to light over the last 24 - 36 months.

News Ltd (as majority shareholder) appointed him as chairman.

Ergo, the same applies to all of the previous Brisbane chairmen??

 

[heartly87]

I don't think any of us have enough info to point the finger at who specifically is to blame for this ongoing mess.

We can only agree that it is indeed, a total mess.

It's as if nobody at the club is on the same page at all or some factions are working against others.

Now we have a team full of players who we have publicly told to walk. I've never seen anything like it.

I think a few years back the Titans got told something similar by Mal and people got axed, even Wallace was on the chopping block but found form and ended up staying. It has happened but it doesn't make it good.

Of course but unless all other chairmen oversaw the same garbage as this idiot, they weren't as culpable.

We are already doing our bit for past-it, was a somebody-once with Karmicheal. We are doing our bit for charity. Let another pick up the slack.

Roosters did it with sbw and won a bloody premiership.

SBW was at his peak when they got him back. That was 8 years ago now.

I doubt any club wants the clown show that comes with this idiots signature.

 

[BroncosFever]

I can't see how Folau get's a contract in the NRL, I really can't

In his day was a high flying winger, 10+ years later he will surely have lost his speed and his pace. That's the danger when you establish yourself as a winger, you really can't play a role anywhere else once you age and once you lose the physical attributes you once had, there are better players who will no doubt accept less money

DD was a News Corpse journo once upon a time ….
