https://www.broncos.com.au/news/20242/11/01/willison-commits-to-broncos-until-end-of-2027/ Emerging forward Xavier Willison has committed to the Brisbane Broncos until the end of the 2027 season. The highly rated 22-year-old took big steps forward last season, playing 19 games as he...

The problem with coaching is, what works for one, doesn't work for all. What made Boyd great at the game, plays to different strengths than what Walsh has available to him. Walsh is electrically fast - but his passing game is weaker than Boyds - as an example. With the speed he has, his...

The age old issue though is that being elite yourself at a thing, doesn't mean you're an elite teacher of said thing. They are related but distinct and offer unique challenges.

"The rise of superstar fullbacks, including Kalyn Ponga, Tom Trbojevic, James Tedesco, Latrell Mitchell and Ryan Papenhuyzen, has resulted in the custodians now earning significantly more money than their teammates. The average wage of the top five fullbacks is $1.24 million. Ponga, the...

this aged well lol (announced shortly after your post)

https://www.broncos.com.au/news/20242/10/31/broncos-lock-in-walsh-for-another-four-years/ The Brisbane Broncos have locked in fullback Reece Walsh on a four-year contract extension to the end of the 2029 season. At his best, the 22-year-old is one of the most exciting players in the NRL and...

JAC was also overpaid, always injured and has been a mouthy player. Dogs got to weigh that against the breach of contract and decided to free up that salary cap space. How other clubs do things is also not the benchmark for how we treat our own. Ezra appears to at least trying to be doing...

I think people forget just how many players have been caught on the chems. It's absolutely prolific and I'd wager a good sum that most NRL players are at the very least intermittently using it. Mam's circumstance is largely due to potentially being impaired while driving and having a bad...

News is that we may lose Alfie over this also - you know what... I actually think that might be a good thing. Something's been wrong at this club for nearly 20 years, shits gotta change.

I have mixed feelings about this. Good coach + Players will be fit at **** + Win at any cost asshole - NSW coach -

People will always love Kev and respect what he achieved, particularly as a player. I don't think many would argue that

I think the little tantrum he threw is pretty new information though. Sounds like it wasn't just the pressure of poor performance, but also flying off the handle at other staff members. That's super toxic for a business to deal with.

Agreed strongly on both counts. True professional CEO for our club - has made the hard call, instead of the White era where everything felt like it was only acted upon when there was no other option. Locky - immortal tier player - but his head's elsewhere. Whatever love he has for the club...

Greed does things to people..... he's no longer on footy player money.

Yup, might as well write 2025 off as a lost year. 2026 the "new coach" will need to build his roster. 2027 will be the first year the "new coach" gets to be really tested. 2028 before any real result is seen. Yay....

Likely auditioning for his next gig

I fucking hope so mate. I really do.

You were expecting effort? Oh dear lol

100% - it was if anything a bit of a stalemate response. This is also one of the problems with having a damn PLC with a variety of business interests that need the CEO's focus and not predominantly a footy club to run.

100% sounds like full support of the board, but the quote part I left in, the back half of the year? WTF? Have they been watching since Rd 1? Pea hearted defence, shit fitness, fluke plays or bust mentality were all there from the very first game of the year and never left. The difference is...
