Not sure I agree Mark. I think def tapped before being cut. The GF last year aside missed finals routinely. Broncs had a purple patch run in 23. This year imo was a more true reflection of where they are at. They whinge about players being out this year, but in reality this is every club.
I reckon the Broncs have assessed he’s not the coach going forward and rather than drag it into next year and sack him mid season, they’ve said let’s make the change now. They’ve then given him the word, step down or be sacked.
I think there are clear issues within their list and have thought that for a while. Too many egos there. As someone else said, this club is arguably the most underperforming club in the nrl over the past 20years, given the advantage they have over many clubs.
