Broncos sack coach Kevin Walters just 12 months after reaching grand final
The Broncos held an end-of-season review and decided to terminate the contract of Walters effective immediately.
Walters Sacked

- Start date
As big as their downfall was this year, can’t say I saw this coming, he kept talking in the last presser about doing reviews in the off season, I was expecting players to get the heat… but instead Reece Walsh and Ezra maam are in Bali. I think one of the only blokes who would be stoked about this is Mozer so he can finally have some hope of getting picked before the coaches son or ex coaches son should I say now…
Trent Barrett….the grim reaper of NRL coaches. He’s better than, " the board is fully behind you going forward ".
If your club tells you they’re hiring TB as an assistant coach for next year, you best start clearing out your desk asap.
Get that wooden spoon ready
Karma is a bitch. It will be interesting to hear what the Bronco's old boys say about this....
Thought they might of given him the first 5 games of next season to prove himself. But hey, he's no NRL coach, SOO coach is his go, just need to motivate them before and at half-time and a slap on the back When they made it to the GF it was Reynolds who was running the Broncs. I really doubt Kevvie will find a other suitor, he's just not that kind of coach.
Speaking about desks, Trent will want to have up market furniture befitting a coach of his stature.

Surprised?? I think not.
For mine, Walters lost his dressing room, simple as that. He challenged his players with his "We will play Finals" statement after their Round 25 win over Parramatta ... and the very next week they responded by losing 6–40 to the Dolphins which ended all hopes of playing Finals.

Ballin and Cartty might of heard something and got out early...lol.
If they miss there maybe Madge for the gig
It must’ve been a hell of a job to move the Easter Island statue all the way to Hull.
Any word on where Matty Ballin has gone? I’d love him back at Manly.

At the very least he could teach Froggy how to pass from dummy half without screwing up the momentum of the team.....

Bulldogs tragic living in heart of Manly-Warringah
Reckon he has the experience to go for a whole season? He showed good potential in origin, but could be a gamble, for the massive roster the Broncos have it’s hard to understand how the wheels fell off so hard
