Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3668380, member: 9853"] In case you missed it in the coach thread, this spray from [B]Former Brisbane Broncos High Performance Manager Mark ‘Chopper’ Burgess [/B]was the major bombshell yesterday. It's a must listen. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.4bc.com.au/podcast/not-how-a-rugby-league-team-should-run-former-broncos-staffers-insight-into-kevvies-culture/[/URL] What's telling is, it got limited attention in the Murdoch press yesterday (CM, Australian - byline Badel & Meyn). But very much tamed down. The focus being on the players being pampered and "yes men." This is what they left out, and it was the crux of the conversation: [INDENT=2]Chopper "loves Kevvie" (we all do) but you really can't compare him to Wayne Bennett, Michael Maguire or Craig Bellamy. "You can't mention him in the same sentence as those three guys."[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]He says the Broncos need a change of coach - no hesitation in answering that - and thinks Madge would sort it out.[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] At this stage of the news cycle, the prevailing wisdom is to give Kevvie the start of next season, varying from 6-10 weeks as a grace period to right the ship, and if he can't do it, he gets the bullet, with Trent Barrett on standby in his traditional caretaker role. The ONLY replacement candidate being tossed around is Madge, and as far as I can see he's not available in 2025 due to Origin. For whatever reason, it appears the Broncos board (Murdoch) is not yet ready to put the knife to his throat. He's still under protection. [/QUOTE]
