Regrettably this. Other than Payne, who he inherited, he hasn't successfully embedded a single long term player into the club. Which is why we need to find out sooner than later if Ezra is the ONE.
But isn't getting rid of the coach doing the same thing over again?
In Kev’s defence, Hetherington has developed incredibly well so far. Could be a good self-improver but he’s done well under Kev so far. Too early to say but Carrigan looked far improved too. Most the forwards are coming along pretty well but surprisingly his halves and spine in general seem to be struggling the most - which is unexpected considering his playing pedigree.
Why do you think Payne is keen to leave? I haven't got the impression anyone is "keen to leave" but I would think they would all go elsewhere for more money, a stable future or a starting position they're denied at the club.
so Reynolds and Capewell don't count, what else can he do in 1 season when he was pretty much caretaking the hole fucking club.
I'm not really willing to comment either way on Kevvie's direct effect as a coach other than the players seem more cohesive as a group, the atmosphere is better and he has a much chummier relationship with the press than we've ever seen from a Broncos coach. They're all great things, but that's not to say a prickly motherfucker who breaks their balls sunrise to sunset wouldn't get better results on the scoreboard, the only thing that matters.
If we miss the 8 I think he's sacked end of the year.
Yeah, they all count - and no doubt at least a few will form part of a club nucleus - but it feels like we're still on stepping stones.
not just coaches make better players, good players make better players also. Not sure how many off those sorts of players we can claim to have over a decent period, that's why Reynolds and Capewell are so important.
A lot can change between here and September, but so far only 3/13 NRL journalists think that's going to happen, and all three of them are Brisbane tragics. He's up against it.
Yep, that's the basket our eggs are in and we all have our fingers crossed, but at this very minute we've just had our balls crushed in two woeful trials against two NRL teams, one of which is tipped for the wooden spoon, and the other a traditional wooden spooner we now find hard to beat.
I believe there is a difference between being keen to stay and keen to leave. As you've highlighted, the Broncos best player is rumoured to be off to the Roosters and there's a few others across all levels. Keep in mind too the amount of players who left last season and it's not like Kev is a big draw. This isn't like Wayne Bennett circa 2018.
No, because every scenario is different.
Define really stinking it up?
I’ll give him until after round 10.
Every year the limbo bar drops another notch.
