The Broncos have rewarded coach Kevin Walters for Brisbane’s superb start to the 2023 season with a two year contract extension through until 2025.
Walters is in his third year as Broncos coach with 25 wins and 28 losses for a win percentage of 47.17, but is yet to return the club to the finals.
However, their impressive start to 2023 on the back of making the top four by Round 19 before a late season fade out last year was enough to convince the club to reinvest in his services.

The Broncos are blessed to have Patrick Carrigan acting as a second fullback and pointing out weaknesses in the defence in the latest display of his superb communication skills and footy nous.
Carrigan was mic’d up in the Broncos 46-12 win over the Tigers to secure their fifth straight victory, with the representative forward twice making the right call that Adam Doueihi was out of position and Brisbane scored off kicks in behind the opposition line.

Let’s compare the pair - the Raiders and last year’s wooden spoon club.
The Wests Tigers are currently in the midst of the NRL’s longest finals drought having failed to make it past August dating all the way back to 2012.
That’s 12 seasons and counting as some of the protesters are preparing to tell club management at the Easter Monday match against Parramatta.
In contrast, Stuart piloted the Green Machine to an unlikely grand final appearance in 2019 and then backed it up in 2020 when the Raiders made it to within 80 minutes of another grand final in a prelim final.
