The Broncos' woes continued to plague them this season, with Kevin Walters, at the helm, struggling to instill the necessary discipline in his players.
Despite his efforts to rally the team and address their shortcomings, it seems his words have fallen on deaf ears.
This week at Broncos training, assistant coach Lee Briers delivered a blistering rebuke to the squad for their repeated errors during practice, highlighting a glaring issue that has been hindering their progress.
Walters has been vocal about the team's struggles in 2024, with the Broncos posting the second-worst completion rate (77%) in the NRL this season, trailing only behind the Eels.
The recurring mistakes on the field have cast a shadow over the club, drawing attention to the lack of precision and cohesion among the players.
The recent incident involving Reece Walsh calling out Corey Oates for a dropped ball has further emphasized the team's struggle with maintaining control and focus on the field.
While Walsh faced criticism for his outburst, his teammates have stood by him, acknowledging his commitment to raising the standards at the club.
This incident has shed light on a broader issue of ball-handling and discipline that has plagued the Broncos throughout the season.
Reporter Joel Gould, a regular presence at Broncos training sessions, has observed a troubling trend in the team's performance, noting a lack of accountability among players for their mistakes.
The absence of internal accountability has manifested in a string of losses for the team, marked by sloppy handling and a disjointed team dynamic.
As the Broncos continue to grapple with their on-field challenges, it remains to be seen whether they can rally together and turn their season around.
The pressure is on for Walters and his players to dig deep, find their rhythm, and deliver the kind of performance that fans and critics alike expect from a team with such a storied history in the sport.
