What makes people think Billy Slater would ever help our team out? All those Melbourne ***** absolutely hate the Broncos with a passion. He is no different
It would be hard to use the same tactics that got you to the GF when instead of Walsh and Reynolds you've got Sailor and Madden/Rogers.To be completely honest, this was kevvies fault because we have seen potential that can win a premiership, and poor old bloke just didn't have it. I guess he changed his tactics because last year's ideas wasn't "premiership winning" but I think he regrets it now. Still a bronx fan but if this is the way he will coach and how the players will play, we'll be participating in the spoon bowl.

Big difference in the quality of the players and being your 2 main guys this is important.
I'm not that sure we even played that much differently, we just had more average players in key positions for so many games this season.To be completely honest, this was kevvies fault because we have seen potential that can win a premiership, and poor old bloke just didn't have it.

I think Kev had confidence Madden and Sailor could step up and do the job but they didn't.Look I agree to some extent, but I'm sure Kev would be the first to tell you that's no excuse because everyone in the squad is NRL quality and we should be winning games regardless of who takes the field.
And he'd be right. Yes there is a drop in quality from Walsh to Sailor, and Reyno to Madden/Rogers. Our game plan needs to take that into account. This is the "structure" that some of us on here keep banging about which seem to still be non-existent 4yrs into Kev's tenure.
There's a huge drop in quality from Cleary to Penrith's backup halves as well. Muster/Hughes to their backup halves. When you have star players in the squad of course there's usually a drop in quality. The game plans must accommodate those changes - we would have been without Walsh for weeks over Origin anyway. Reyno has spent time on the sidelines every year he's been here. These aren't unforeseeable, I'd say these are guaranteed occurrences and it's the coaching staff's actual job to make sure we are competitive when it does occur.
If our tactics rely on superstars, we desperately need new tactics which don't, so that we don't fall in a heap should the superstars not be available.

Now that we know Kev is one of the people leading the review, identifying the issue should look something like this:

Corey Parker is available and is completely impartial. Very objective in his assessment of the Brisbane Broncos.I really think while they do need to do an internal review, we probably need somebody from the outside to give a different opinion.

I can already complete Corey's review on his behalf.Corey Parker is available and is completely impartial. Very objective in his assessment of the Brisbane Broncos.
Behind a paywall, but this article again confirms that the club have hired an external agency to conduct a review (the name of the agency is being kept confidential.
the top 30 have all been interviewed so far (including about Kevvie's performance), and have now left on extended leave in accordance with the RLPA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
