Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3186373, member: 1769"] Karl Morris (yeah I Know) talks about the Kevolution “We went with Kevin because he represents the heart and soul of the Broncos and what we aspire to achieve,” Morris said. “The magic of the Broncos has been lost. “Coming last, to be at the bottom of the table is not a good look for this great club and Kevin Walters is a proven winner. “Times have changed from 2006 when the Broncos last won the premiership. It should always be a privilege to play for the Broncos. There is no question we have the resources to be winning premierships. “I believe Kevin will bring a new edge on what it means to play for the Broncos. “He is what rugby league is all about. You will see the winning attitude that Kevin brings to the Broncos. “It’s time that people started to value the Broncos again.” “Kevin will be taking the selfishness out of the playing group,” Morris said. “His focus will be on the team collective, rather than individuals worrying about personal performances. “If you are a player and your manager is in your ear saying keep your stats up, because that’s how you are valued ... well at the Broncos (next year), I couldn’t care less about a player’s personal stats. “I was really impressed with (prop) Payne Haas’ comments at our recent presentation day. He said he only cares about winning for the team and that’s the attitude we want. “Under Kevin, we don’t want selfish players at the Broncos.” “Kevin was a lot more professional this time around (in his job interview),” Morris said. “He gave a presentation that contained a lot more thought around strategy and what the structure of the club would like look. “I must say Paul Green was very impressive as well, but Kevin’s presentation was much more detailed compared to a few years ago.” “I don’t think it’s a risk,” he said. “Kevin will be surrounded by good people. John Cartwright (former Titans head coach) will be coming on board and there will be other assistant coaches around him (including Terry Matterson and possibly Bellamy as coaching director in 2022). “There is no doubt that Kevvie’s experience previously as an assistant at several clubs and having coached the Queensland Origin team will put him in good stead. “It is certainly a new challenge for Kevvie. It’s week to week and Kevin will have to make a lot of important decisions and there will be scrutiny, but he will be well supported. “Kevin will have the instant respect of the players because of his status as a Broncos legend. No-one can sit back and say to Kevvie, ‘You don’t know what you are talking about’. “Kevin knows what the Broncos stand for and he has always been a team person. He will bring that to our club. “I expect us to be back in finals contention next year. That’s our aim every year. It won’t be easy to turn things around quickly but Kevin will get the best out of the players that he has got. “Kevin’s attitude is, ‘Get on the bus or you won’t be on it’. He will be very tough on individual performances.” [/QUOTE]
