Corey Oates on the dressing room spray:
“What ‘Kevvie’ said ("have some fucking heart") is the truth, that’s all it is. He was truthful. He said, ‘Have some heart, have some fight, have some belief. Don’t throw away all the hard work we have done’. That was it. There was just a lot more anger and other words behind what he said. He is passionate and that’s what we need as a group, we need to be passionate and for this to mean something."
“The Broncos mean a lot to Kevvie. We all know that. Everyone here is hurting. We need to take it to training next week. It honestly hurts. It’s not a good feeling, but we have to take this anger into the game next week.”
“It’s tough, but we have to come together as a team. We can’t look at the results this week. We need a few to go our way but we need to focus on putting in a good performance and that’s all we can do. Everyone wants to see a bit of heart and a bit of fight from us. It’s been a pretty tough few weeks for us, we’ve put up some pretty poor performances and it’s tough to accept. We have worked so hard all year and we can still make the finals."
“It’s a long season and a brutal game, but the best teams are the ones who lift at the end of the year and at the moment we are struggling in that area. We’ve faced two quality teams the past two weeks and they have shown how much class they are above us at the moment.”
Fatty:
“Kevvie was going off in the sheds ... the Broncos are broken. I’m not saying there was give-up in them, but they are awful at the moment. I can’t see them possibly beating the Dragons down there next week.”
