Message: [QUOTE="Accept, post: 3405757, member: 9095"] I obviously have a soft spot for Kevie as he was a major part of the Bronco's golden era. It was a magical time to be a Brisbane fan and an era that certainly won't be equaled again in my lifetime. Also our sons used to play each other during junior footy. He was the Wests touchie and I did it for our club. Obviously there were a lot of tries scored and we had many a chat behind the goal posts. He is genuinely a really nice guy and as laid back as they come. I was a bit apprehensive when he was hired to fix the absolute mess created and left behind by Seibold. I certainly had my doubts if he was capable enough being a rookie NRL coach and all. He was walking into a club at it's lowest ebb in history (by far) and was expected to dig it out of the shitter. What he has achieved in such a short time cannot be underestimated. To be sitting in the top 4 halfway through his second season is mind boggling. It's not like he has a superstar roster. The spine consists of an aging HB and basically nothing else. He has got these guys motivated again and it certainly shows defensively and the numbers prove it. Offensively, they have at times rivalled that of the 90's teams with the way they can turn it on and score quick points and totally blowing away the opposition. Eg. Cant, GC and Newc. Like Kevie said in his presser last night "There is still plenty of work to be done." They certainly aren't there yet as far as premierships go but with the rate of improvement as of late, title contention may only be 2-3 years away. And that would be an incredible feat as will a playoff berth this year if it happens. It would be amazing to see Kevie win a comp as a coach. The same team he won 5 with as a player. It would be an incredible chapter for one of Rugby League's "good guys". [/QUOTE]
