Broncos sack two staff members

And the Broncos have snagged the Storm's performance coach!
Broncos Sign Respected Performance Coach - Brisbane Broncos

The NRMA Insurance Broncos have made a significant signing today with the enticement of highly-respected strength and conditioning coach Alex Corvo to Brisbane.
Corvo, who has been at the Melbourne Storm for the past 11 seasons, will take charge of the Broncos’ performance program when pre-season training for the 2014 NRL competition begins in November.
The 46-year-old has coached at the highest level, and has been in charge of the high performance role of the Australian Kangaroos’ international campaigns for the past five years.
He will have that job again for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup in England.
Broncos’ Head Coach Anthony Griffin said Corvo would add a new experience and professionalism to the club in his role as Head of Performance.
“We are very pleased to have acquired the services of Alex,” said Griffin today.
“He brings a wealth of experience at the highest level of his profession, having worked at the NRL level for nearly 15 years.
“He will build on the systems that Tony Guilfoyle has put in place over the past three seasons.”
A former player with the Canberra Raiders in the early 90s, Corvo began an association with rugby league in Queensland soon after.
He took on a role as a Development Officer with the Queensland Rugby League in 1993 before spending several seasons in both conditioning and coaching roles at top-tier clubs in the Queensland Cup.
Corvo joined his first NRL coaching staff in 2000 when he headed back to Canberra and took on the Raiders’ strength and conditioning position for two seasons, before spending a year in the same position with English Super League entity Salford.
He joined the Melbourne NRL team in 2003 and was an integral part of the staff that drove the Storm to four consecutive grand finals between 2006 and 2009.
Corvo also led the Storm’s performance program as Melbourne secured their NRL premiership triumph just last year.
He also has a family connection to his new club, with his brother Mark a former player with the Brisbane Broncos.

Interesting. There's no doubt the Storm have been blessed with lack of serious injuries and generally their players seem to go the distance in a long season. Both areas the Broncos have been poor for a decade. Would be interesting if this is a step towards turning that around.

But can't just expect us to sign a new performance coach and completely turn it around. It's a promising start though.

I just hope he can motivate the team better than the last one. It's pretty clear they are mostly just lazy.
 
We really are sorting out the off field staff and this kind of work may well entice the on field players to join!!
 
This might even be our best signing yet, hopefully he can get the fatties into shape (Thaiday, Hannant, Hala)
 
This is wonderful.

I am honestly hesitant about getting too excited, but things seem to really be looking up for next year........at this stage.
