Chris Garry has mentioned them numerous times before Petey "Scoop.. even if they're made up" Badel comes out and plants stories all over the place for NSWRL media. to jump on... I mean Buzzed Rothfield has already admitted that he gets all his information about Qld from Peter.
In regards to the KPI's I'm guessing that they are setup in regards to results over the course of the year... so in order to sack him based on results, and therefore limit the payout, they would need to wait to the end of the year results.
Unless there is a KPI for achieving a minimum 50% win ratio, or something like that, and at some point in the season this can't be achieved then they could sack him... but Covid is not exactly the environment to be sacking and bringing in new coaches with all the quarantine requirements, so we would be stuck with an interim coach (i.e. someone from Seibold's staff), until the intended interim coach gets through quarantine and would then have to wait however long for further coaching changes to be implemented to match up with the new interim coach
