OFFICIAL Kevin Walters Steps Down As Broncos Coach

[KnToad]

Michael McGuire coached the tigers to a wooden spoon in 22 and they haven’t recovered since and got two more….


Yeah he’s the fucking answer

And so it begins…..

 

[cento]

It’s the right call 1/4 seasons in the top 8 is not good enough if he scraped in in 22 or 24 no dramas giving him a extra year

Lol at the first person Fox reached out to for a comment. Matt Rogers.

Their radio show was the only piece of media covering it. I praise the club for releasing the news when they did, right after NRL360, the night before the games

How’s Tallis going?

 

[KnToad]

How about we really test that "I don't want to be a full time NRL coach" mentality of one Billy Slater. Walsh would be happy.

Billy Slater might be the only inexperienced coach they'd consider, at least to begin with.

There’s no salary cap when it comes to coaching staff is there?
Offer him $2M a season and see if that changes his mind.
With record memberships and crowd attendances the club can afford it. The good press alone would be worth millions…

And so it begins…..

Getting in early..

 

[Emanon]

It's pretty noble of Kevie to go now, but it does really leave us in the lurch a bit for preseason.

Do they go for a rookie or do they bring someone like Hook back if they can't get Maguire?

Yes there is a coaching cap I believe

 

[Big Del]

I reckon Reno will retire and take over as coach next year. His money will go to retaining a lot of younger players.

He`s Kevvies right hand man .
He needs to go as well .

 

[mrtij]

How’s Tallis going?

He made headlines hating on us even with Kevie as coach, just imagine him now haha. The shackles have been released, he's gonna go full beast mode

He wouldn't have gone of his own volition, like Tbaz at Bulldogs "standing down"

 

[Super Freak]

Reyno saying the players were blindsided by the decision.

If they weren't consulted first... That's pretty incompetent.

Football department does have a cap. I dunno what it is today, was like $6m some years back, so it is probably around $10m now. Not even sure who/what it includes. Doctors, physio's, football manager, assistants, coach etc I'd assume to start with.

 

[Scorchie]

Top tier announcement - do it when half of your players are overseas.

 

[vertigo]

Thought he'd get at least half of next season to save himself.

Bold move. Better have someone good lined up.

 

[pennywisealfie]

It had to happen. When everything goes right, we were a good team. When a few things went wrong, we were a shambles. With the roster we have, that was unacceptable. Time to try something different, even if the end result doesn't work out. We have to try.

 

[Broncapz]

What killed the Kevolution for me was well and truly when he claimed -

It's not "if" but "when"

Gotta be able to trust your coach.
