Kevvie opens up on baffling coach sledge; Cleary nears GOAT status — Extra Time
Walters’ ability has been questioned since he took the reins in 2020 from Anthony Seibold, who had just overseen Brisbane’s only wooden spoon in club history.
If Walters’ men can stop the Panthers’ threepeat on Sunday night then he’ll become the first person to win an NRL title as both a player and coach. “I’m not out to prove people wrong, I want this club to be successful and not just this year but for many years to come.”The criticism of Walters infuriates his son Billy, who has been Bisbane’s most improved player in 2023, but that didn’t surprise the old man.“People will always criticise, regardless of results or whatever so we just block it out and get on with things and I’m really happy for Bill that he’s in a position now to play in a grand final which is a really special thing for him.
The Broncos are facing their own cap squeeze with several young guns, including Reece Walsh and Ezra Mam, tripling their value this season. “If you look across all the clubs you can see how many quality Brisbane players there are at other clubs. Cleary is on the cusp of leading his side to a once-in-a-generation feat, with Penrith just 80 minutes away from three straight premierships.If Cleary can replicate that feat in the salary-cap era, then few will dispute his name becoming a permanent fixture in the GOAT conversation.
“People only remember Johns and Thurston at the back end of their career… nobody remembers where they started,” Broncos great Parker told“Cooper Cronk was a 14 coming off the bench just doing a job… Nathan Cleary is the only exception and he will surpass every one of those players, he’ll be the greatest No. 7 the game has ever seen if he’s able to continue on the trajectory he’s on right now.
