Kevin Walters won five premierships as a player at the Broncos when Wayne Bennett was coach, and now the duo go head-to-head in a local Brisbane derby for the first time. Read more from Walters here:
Brisbane coach Kevin Walters has been cracking jokes, talking down the rivalry with the Dolphins, and making comments that could be interpreted in a variety of ways as he prepares to do battle with his old mentor, Wayne Bennett.
Walters has his own wry brand of humour, forged in the working-class city of Ipswich, west of Brisbane, where he grew up. Cryptic and mysterious, full of fun, but also street smart.The first question about next week’s blockbuster drew this response with a grin: “That’s for next week. We are still in this week.”
“We are not rivals of the Dolphins. We are the Broncos. That is our club. That is who we are, and that’s where our mindset is. We are the Broncos.”
