Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3543272, member: 9853"] Apparently Wayne gave Kevvie a bit of a nudge after seeing him spray the team at half time in 2021, suggesting he cut out the ranting and raving and focus on unifying the team. Now he's the leading contender for Dally M Coach of the Year. [I]Kev's manager [B]Chris Orr:[/B][/I] [INDENT]“After his first year, Kev had a catch up with Wayne and they had an honest conversation about his coaching. Wayne gave him some honest advice, he caught up with Kevvie and talked to him about what he needed to focus on. Wayne has the greatest feel for coaching, he is the master of getting the players knowing the coach has their back and that‘s why they play for him. They talked about a lot of things, including identifying holes in your personality or your skill set and working to other people‘s strengths. Kevvie has learned a lot about himself over this journey. His greatest skill is making the players feel they are part of something bigger than just a football club. He has shown great faith in his assistant coaches and I know Kev is extremely passionate about the Broncos and bringing a premiership back to the club.”[/INDENT] [B][I][/I][/B] [I][B]Bennett:[/B][/I] [INDENT]“I won’t go too much into that meeting but, yes, basically I wanted the best for Kevin and I’m really happy for him at the moment. I still stay in touch with Kevin, we’ve always had a tremendous relationship. We’ve had our trying moments over the years but our friendship will always be there. He was a great player for the Broncos. He was a great player for me as his coach. He gave me as much as any player and we won premierships at the Broncos because of Kevin. I’d love to see him win the premiership this year, it would be wonderful for the club and the city.”[/INDENT] [I][B]Ben Ikin:[/B][/I] [INDENT]“I am really happy for Kev and the Broncos because he pours his heart and soul into that place. You can’t fake how much he loves the Brisbane Broncos and Kev’s passion bleeds into everything they are doing. Kevvie had been around great coaches and he was well and truly ready for a head-coaching gig. As Wayne Bennett points out, it (the Broncos job) is probably the toughest head-coaching gig in the competition, so that gives you a sense of how well he is doing. Kevvie knew what excellence looked like as a player and he’s now doing it for the Broncos as a coach. I’m thoroughly enjoying sitting back and watching their success unfold under Kevvie.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
