He should really offer to quit rather than being fired if we still suck in 10 weeks.

I think that's just a company line to be honest.... although Kevvie had his 30 minute session with a mindset coach so he's probably also following the philosophies that were put in place where you say what you want to achieve.
It would be interesting to see if Kevvie ever says words like "hope"... I.e. we are hoping to be better in defence.
That sort of wording is a no no from a mindset stance.... you shouldn't be relying on hope to get you there... it should be inevitable that what you're doing will get you there.
I get the sense when Kevvie is stuttering through a presser it's more like him trying to think how he should be saying things rather than what he actually wants to say.
- He wants to have a positive mindset
- Doesnt want to give players excuses / something to blame ie. refereeing
- Doesnt want to throw players under the bus
- Doesnt want to give the media anything to latch onto
That's why what he says in a presser doesnt really bother me... I think the facade he puts on in front of the cameras is completely different to what he portrays on a personal level to the players

Most likely he wants to say something but knows he has to say it in a certain way

the better route would have been learning his trade in the QLD cup. it what the great systems force their youth to do.
Walsh didn't want to do that, so when you also add a big money offer to a pretty much guaranteed immediate spot in the NRL and he was gone.
Now it seems he's realised that he'll eventually have to leave QLD and live in NZ, so he wants out of that deal. definitely not good signs. I also wouldn't like to see what he does if he needs to be dropped;

Not so sure about this soft run home suggestion:
Round 18 - Titans away - our recent history suggests that this will be a difficult one to win
Round 19 - Eels away - no need to say anymore
Round 20 - Tigers home - you would hope this will be an easy win
Round 21 - Roosters away - hmmmm, somehow don't see us winning this one
Round 22 - Knights home - probably a flip of the coin depending on injuries and whether Ponga is playing and interested that day
Round 23 - Storm - home - kill me now to save me from the pain of watching this
Round 24 - Eels - home - Eels probably in the hunt for a top 4 position - I am calling this a loss
Round 25 - Dragons away - another flip of the coin - with our away history odds favour Saints.
Potentially 1 - 3 from the last 8.

I suspect that may well occur. I agree with the earlier poster that if Ikin and DD came to him to have the discussion he would choose to fall on his sword rather than cause the club more damage. Really this is the only way it can be done to quieten the Old Boys.

I would love to know if this is true, I suspect that he does not communicate with the players at the same level as the better coaches.

Half of the games against top 4 teams, yes okay that is easy.

that will only happen one of two ways:
1. he dyes his hair and changes his name
2. he wears a Roosters or Panthers jersey
referee's having tip sheets about players to watch etc is just plain stupid, unprofessional and reeks of corruption ... how about they just officiate the game that is happening at that moment.
worrying about a players form should only ever be a consideration by the judiciary AFTER a guilty verdict

Being a realist and pragmatic, I see our best case scenario this season is that we finish up with 6-8 wins from 25 this season. I have my doubts that this will be sufficient to save Kev.
If we keep getting injuries the way we are, it could be worse than that, particularly if we lose Reynolds for any extended period.

Same mate. Was told the players would leave training not knowing what they were supposed to have learnt.
