Badel & Meyn in the Courier Mail enlist various household names to sink the boot into the current Broncos coach:
Steve Renouf:
“It’s on the coach now to fix this – the buck stops with him. He wouldn’t like what he is seeing but something needs to be done – that’s an understatement. There is a lot of inexperience and what they don’t do well in big games is respond well to a setback. In the dressing room, what is Seibold saying to them? Who is getting the players up for the game?”
Seibold: fans demand his instant dismissal
Chris Johns:
“It’s time for Anthony Seibold and the squad to stop making excuses. When Wayne Bennett started this club with John Ribot, the first thing they jammed down our throats was this club will never make excuses. We don’t care if the ref rips us off, we don’t care if the league changes the rules to affect us. We don’t blame anyone. We take ownership. We fix our problems."
"I am sick to death of hearing Seibold talk about this young football team. Stop whingeing about it. Anthony, if you don’t want a young football team, flog them off to the other clubs and get an older football team. The first thing the board should do is stop giving coaches five-year contracts and hold people accountable. Their corporate side is outstanding but their football team is a mess and the coach has to fix it. Seibold and everybody at that club is under pressure right now. They all have to aim up."
“It’s not all over. The squad can bounce back. But they should get some desire back and have a crack for the jumper. And there should be a fine system at the club for mentioning the word young. “If you are good enough, you are old enough.”
Kevin Walters: waiting by the phone.
Shane Webke:
“It’s going to be a tough year – they’re not going to win anything this year and we all know that. What this is about is the foundation for the future. If you get through these tough years, the advantage you get is that this team will be formidable in four-five years if they keep it together.
“If they go out next week and defend and don’t get blown away on the scoreboard ... it’s incremental improvement you’re looking for. If they take a step forward every week, people will leave them alone. People understand they’re young but they must show they’re learning from that and don’t put their heads in the sand.
“I really don’t want to hear any of these players come out this week and say there were some positives because there was nothing positive about that game. Don’t sugar-coat it. Call it for what it is. It was a disgraceful, inept performance which can happen. I can be forgiving because we’re all part of something like that in our careers. Just don’t replicate it, because if they do that they will lose people.”
Or sack him. Today. Or sooner, if you can find a time machine.
