PLAYER Reece Walsh

I'm still struggling to accept we have the NSW coach
as the Broncos coach.

I thought I was doing OK with it........ that article has triggered me.

I wonder if he’d have still taken up the NSW job if he had known the Broncos job was pending. He seemed to drop it pretty quick when the offer was made.

I think origin was just a temporary thing until he found a new club head coach role. I think he still would have done origin for the year.
 
Yeah wow. Kev v Slater in a battle about how to play fullback. How could you possibly pick between them
Makes you wonder how many other players in our team have been told to play a certain way.
Look at Haas in origin this year vs his weekly club form.
I hope guys like Piakura and Riki were told to play that way and Madge turns them into Martin and Critchon in origin.

I think the talk about Haas in origin is a bit much... he's played 14 origin games now and he's never had a seriously dominant performance like he did last series. One of the criticisms has been his inability to dominate at that level compared to Patty who came in and owned it from his first series.

I think credit should go towards Madge for getting him up to play that way rather than anything about Kev holding him back.

Madge had the NSW team actually giving a shit about origin for once, which you could tell from the way everyone was talking. That is what I'm interested in, because it shows man management as well as the known technical footy knowledge... rather than being one or the other.

In regards to Kevvie... I think Payne probably played his best footy at club land under Kevvie and showed the most development he's had through the ball playing that was added to his game and he's developed an offload.

There is far more that can still be added to his game, but he's been playing since 2018 and under many coaches now, and Madge and Kevvie are the ones that have probably got the most out of him that hasn't just been his natural athleticism.
