OFFICIAL The Kevolution - (Walters new coach of the Broncos)

Redirect Notice

Out of the horses mouth as they say.

Did you read the article? It doesn't exactly line up with the commonly espoused idea that

lockyer offered to help milford with his game and he declined!!

To quote directly from the article itself,

“I would never say no to advice from people, especially someone as great as Locky, and if it’s negative or positive I will accept it, but I want to try and do it my way.

“Locky is always around but we have done just one kicking session so far.

So Milford wanting to play his own way, having at least one kicking session with Locky amongst others working on different aspects of his game, and indicating he's always open to advice becomes, through the transmogrifying effect of the internet, Locky offered to help out Milford who refused through sheer arrogance or laziness.

I'm pretty sure that was a ref **** up rather than cruel bounce that stopped that.

on Milford, IMO, it is kick selection rather than execution that is holding him back

Yes you're right, he actually did kick the first 20/40 (which itself speaks to our lack of field position) but we got dudded.

Maybe you haven't watched enough footie?

Maybe.....i dont profess to be an expert couch coach either

Maybe you haven't watched enough footie?

Ive watched plenty and just having an opinion . i suppose with some professional training i could become a couch coach too

Robert Craddock just proved on NRL Tonight (30/09 edition) that he reads BHQ.

he just used the term "Kevolution" ... it's catching on

Agreed but who becomes captain? None of these clowns are leadership material....Carrigan got thrown in and is still learning and could be a leader one day...these numptys dont like having their feelings hurt eg: boyd and oates.
What i dont get is that apparently lockyer offered to help milford with his game and he declined!! Wtf ....thats the kind of shit these blokes pull on this club and are allowed to.....just like you say with the clique in the group

yeh...we asked so much of Carrigan.....i mean he walks into pre-season and was told "your a senior player now, go and lead"....but unless someone comes in as an acknowledge leader its between him and Haas i reckon...they play the most minutes out of the forwards...

So, who replaces Glenn, dunno really....Alfie..?...he is on the field enough...

Id give a awful lot to hear what Alf thought about the side this year....

Like, does ALf even connect with these guys anymore? is it simply a job for him instead of a passion?

Did anyone on that roster ask him for help to turn things around?....i would love to hear from the little legend..

Kev's interview on 360 was fantastic. Thank Christ the board went with him over Green.

We are all couch coaches on here, although a number of us are very, very good students of the game (not me). What we couch coaches have though is context: history and memories, of what works and what doesn't, or simply, look at 2015 and 2020 and you get a good idea of what makes a good team and what makes one shit.

I dont think anyone asked for help cos the majority seemed like they couldnt care less....maybe alex glenns best is way behind him now....theyve still got croft who got handed the "C"....
Alfie is my favorite player of all time and even he looks lost out there as there dont seem to be much talking or giving two *****....

Haha yeah would be good to know alfies thoughts ....theres no connection ...seems to be a couple groups and then a few going solo...alex glenn at one stage was going to be moved on then next minute hes captain!!! ....then theres croft who was a success....
With one of the worst if not worst spine in the comp , no onfield leadership, deadwood and not much available on the market etc..could be a while for return to finals

 

[rnabokov]

Yeah

Since 88 actually.
Wow one kick out of a season....do gon though....

Just out of interest about Milford's kicking game, and how he developed it, maybe read these. I just hope under Walters, he regains and restores what he learned, into consistent performances.

A sample from what Richard's wrote above:

"Milf is not a natural kicker of the ball so it has been a couple of years of hard work with him, and it is a credit to him with the time and effort that he has put in on his own when no-one is looking,” Richards told NRL.com.

"A lot of his practice has been on days off. People have said in the past that he is not a great trainer but they don’t see all the stuff he does in his own time.

"We had to spend a lot of time on his technique, his ball drop and his strike of the ball with a lot of short distance repetitive-type drills."

and in those 5 yrs the game has changed and the rules......but the rules change several times a game

I'm not sure I could have coped if they went with Green.

 

[john1420]

There's only one king and it sure as **** isn't Gutherson. The commentators should be flogged every time they come out with that. A low talent gronk that hasn't even made a rep team in his life.... spare me.

I was going to write the same......where in Holy Hell did this "king gutho" thing come from anyway?

 

[Broncapz]

If Milford could consistantly get kicks from their 40 meter line instead of our 40 meter line then his bombs are some of the most dangerous in the game. We don't get out of our half for the majority of our sets this year which is going to make anyones kicking game look worse than it is.

 

[pagey]

He has good technique and the best distance kicking game of anyone in the side but he lacks real vision to utilise it to its full potential(and IMO this is something he could have learnt from Lockyer), too frequently looking to go to the bomb which often results in an easy turnover(I'll be fair he isn't entirely blame our chase game needs to improve but still I think it's predictable on his part), not looking to kick for our wingers enough or not looking to slow the game down and give the forwards a breather by finding touch. I don't agree we are doomed, but we definitely need to improve our kicking game in general.

Apparently dearden has a big boot

Thanks . i just read them and i admit im wrong....i think maybe because hes looking like dont want to be out there....as far as the kicking i was thinking he does bugger all to force re starts....which when your forwards are going backwards the kicking game almost becomes void...
Ps. It might not sound it but id love to see milford regain the form he once had like many others on here.....the last couple seasons been frustrating watching him....**** you seibold

yesi stand corrected

Kev's interview on 360 was fantastic. Thank Christ the board went with him over Green.

Every fan is obligated in my view to get behind Kev and forget about this nonsense regarding his record in Super League and even his record in Origin. The man clearly has a huge task ahead of him turning the place around, and one benefit he can be thankful for is his connections to the Rugby League media, who I fully expect will be giving him a tonne of rope before they start thinking about hanging him with it. That's just how those cretins operate; if you have connections, they will leave you alone (at least for awhile). If you don't, watch out. Thankfully for us that means the club as a whole gets a bit of breathing space to let Walters do what he thinks he needs to do, and I dearly hope those at the top actually allow him to do that.

Hopefully....we havent got to see it yet....hes getting no protection and getting hammered as he kicks....it was the panthers or eels game...maybe both....they were offside all night he was hammered pretty much as he got the ball....play on!!

 

[Dash]

Yes. Did you start watching the Broncos this year?

Actually even this year he showed bits of it, if not for a cruel bounce he'd have kicked the first 20/40 under the new rule.

Not so much a cruel bounce as sheer incompetence.
