He might have gave them nothing, but he could have answered the Lodge query a wee bit better. I would have said "I sit and have one-to-one chats with all my players, and those conversations will always remain private and confidential". By saying simply "that's something I'll keep between Matt and myself" confirms he has had that conversation outside of the normal realms of coaching.

Minor and I expect he'll learn from it. What I'd like to know is how Badel knew? He said "there have been reports you've sat down with Lodge". Who reported it? Certainly not Kevvie or the club. So someone has leaked that bit of info to Badel.

those "reports" have been around since day one of Kevvie's tenure.

but assuming those reports did come from someone with knowledge of the talks ... Lodge's manager would be a good place to start looking

If mean, if you are trying to move a player on early, you kind of want the rest of the world to know so they make offers. Especially while he’s in good form.

I don’t mind that Kev let the cat out of the bag without actually admitting anything.

You worse than Wolfie, mate. At least he doesn’t put money behind his predictions
True but I have put a limit on myself and there's only $100 riding on it. Doing $800 a couple weeks ago convinced me I was being silly. Lost more on lotto though😡when considered over time. Every now and then though the sun shines, even on a dogs arse so a win must be coming. Like the Broncos!

I think i love Kevvie more and more each week.

here is the pre-match PC


at one point he had Badel damn near begging for something to print (Badel even tried to invoke the fans)

Dobbo said "i don't expect you to play it out in the media" before trying to get him to play it out in the media (re: a senior half for next year)

he gave them nothing 😻
I don't think Kev likes Badel at all. I love it.

**** me, now Milford was OUTSTANDING last week in ISC!! FFS, I didn't see a single article nor hear a single report which described Milford as outstanding. ****, most didn't even get to adequate.
Saw some videos, seemed to go well, but ISC level is a massive drop from 1st grade I would say, even compared to NSW cup which have alot more NRL Teams top 30 in it.

I'm going to the game. If anyone wants to come and say hello, I'll be the guy in the Broncos shirt with his head in his hands.
Be hard to miss that melon. I went to the game at CBUS and it was hot, humid and still. I know I'm a bad judge but I think the game in Darwin will hold us in good stead. Great conditioning and tomorrow night will be a lot cooler. I really do see us as a decent chance, certainly even money. I'm just hoping we take luck and bad reffing out of it.

I'm just quickly checking cause I have found it incredible that we still have such large crowds considering our performances. Who is actually going to the game tomorrow?

The Titans were terrible last week make no mistake about it, Fifita scored a hat trick and they still got rolled quite easily in the end

We just have to put togethor that Penrith performance again and with Milford who was fantastic last week in ISC (his team scored 60 in the wet ffs), Gamble been going good too. Hopefully they get around Haas when he rips them apart in the middle third, I got a good feeling about it all

If Fifita gets the ball near our try line, it’s gonna be try time all night. Need to put him on his ass early so he goes into his shell.
