NRL: Sacked Broncos coach Kevin Walters has fought back tears as he bid farewell to the club.
Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy has addressed the decision to part ways with Kevin Walters and explained why the playing group were left blindsided by the call.
The Broncos said in a statement on Thursday evening that the decision was made via a mutual agreement between club and coach, something which Donaghy maintained on Friday. “I think the reality is for us that we acknowledge that as an organisation and as a club, we can be better. We can do better. We’ll have those discussions first internally and then put the pieces in place to ensure that we continue to spring off the pieces that Kev’s put in place here over the past four years to next year.”Donaghy was pressed by The Courier Mail’s Peter Badel on the claim that it was a “mutual” agreement, having reported that Walters was instead sacked by the club.
“At a football club you’re trying to create that environment where there’s some real raw honesty and we’ve been able to have that. Everyone in the organisation loves Kev. Broncos legend Shane Webcke said if that was true, “that is the most unprofessional thing I reckon I’ve ever heard that club come up with”.
