It has been revealed that Broncos stars are “dirty” on senior club management after the officials blamed the players for the sacking of Kevin Walters.
Back in October, the club pushed the narrative that Walters was axed for premiership winner Michael Maguire following player review.
But Brisbane legend Gorden Tallis called out the club for not owning the decision to fire the coach who led them to a grand final just 12 months earlier.
“That was reverse engineered. The club didn’t want to make the decision and the players are dirty about that,” Tallis said on NRL 360.
“The players that I’ve spoken to are dirty that they got blamed for it. The club should have come out and owned that decision, they shouldn’t have put that on the players.
“That was unfair to put that on the players. There was no meeting, they weren’t sitting around, they weren’t face to face. And that’s the coach’s job.
“Wayne Bennett gets asked who does the reviews and Wayne says ‘I do it’.
“He goes and talks to the players and they have a chat and that’s how you fix things. That’s what men generally do, winners get in groups and talk about it.
