We’re not going to fire Anthony Seibold as Broncos chairman Karl Morris is assisting the coach to fix problems from the Wayne Bennett era

If so, where is it from here for Brisbane and Seibold, who are in the second season of a five-year contract? They have a friendly tie, but there is an urge for the coach to get Broncos great, and Queensland coach Walters, the man he beat for the role at Red Hill to support him.

Walters is ready to put aside the disappointment of having missed the Brisbane job to do what he can, and there is support in the Broncos administration for Seibold, whose assistant coach is Peter Gentle, to the club legend to bring on board.

It would be an element to swallow the pride Seibold needs to bring Walters, and on Sunday he said, “I didn’t think about it.”

“I have a really good relationship with Kevvie,” said Seibold. “I worked with Kevvie in Melbourne and was his assistant at Queensland Origin.

“He is a fantastic guy and a legend of our club, but I didn’t think about it in the here and now. Today was about knocking over the rating from last night and talking to the other coaches to discuss their thoughts like we do Attack week. “

When asked about his future, Seibold added: “I know where I am with the organization. We have some work to do in the field at the moment. We have not had the new rules and changes in interpretation since the COVID break treated by far as well as we wanted. “

The school of thought at Walters is that it could create a connection to the culture of the old Broncos boys, a victorious mentality and a certain star power.

“Kevin had a role when Wayne Bennett was a coach,” said Morris. “When he had this role, we thought he did a good job and is one of the club’s most successful old boys. Ultimately, Anthony is the head coach and it is up to him to decide on the composition of his coaching team.”

Brisbane has lost to eels, roosters, sea eagles, knights and titans in the last five rounds, striking a total of 170-42 during this period.

On Sunday, Paul White, CEO of Broncos, defended Seibold’s signing for five years. It is a decision that Brisbane faces a high payout if they part with him early, even though the coach’s contract includes a performance-based termination clause that limits the amount of compensation.

“It was on purpose,” White said of the length of the deal. “His presentation to get the job was against some quality applicants and he was clearly the standout.” He identified a long-term plan and had determined that there would be work to do with the roster.

“You can’t ask a man to make a long-term plan and then put pressure on him almost immediately [with] her contract expires next year. It was one to get the job done after he made the call, but two to give him time and space to do it. As simple as that.”

The Broncos were not only booed from the field at Suncorp Stadium when they stayed 22-0 at half-time on Saturday night, but some fans were upset by the vision of players who smiled and laughed after full time.

“I understand why fans would be disappointed to be honest,” said White. “I don’t like losing and I understand why that would cause a reaction.”
