Kevin Walters, coach of the Brisbane Broncos, delivers a scathing criticism to players and exits abruptly following the team’s sixth consecutive loss.
Brisbane’s hopes for reaching the finals are in ruins after St George Illawarra held on for a 30-26 victory, marking the Broncos’ sixth consecutive loss, a record no team in NRL history has overcome to win the championship.
The Dragons’ forwards dominated the Broncos in the first half, particularly second-rower Jaydn Su’A, who delivered an exceptional performance against his former team at Suncorp Stadium, having been omitted from the Queensland side.
St George Illawarra capitalized on Brisbane’s errors, scoring three of their four first-half tries within nine minutes to establish a commanding 22-6 lead by halftime, leaving the crowd of 34,224 stunned.
Following the match, Broncos coach Kevin Walters expressed frustration and vented his disappointment at his players before leaving the locker room in a visibly agitated state.
“He’s clearly unhappy because of the losses,” remarked Mal Meninga as the footage aired.
