The recent axing of Kevin Walters has left a stalwart Brisbane Broncos figure absolutely gutted and contemplating his future at the club.
Reports from news.com.au suggest that the legendary Allan 'Alfie' Langer's future with the Broncos is now uncertain in the wake of Walters' shock dismissal.
Walters, who was shown the door last week in what the Broncos are calling a mutual parting of ways, reportedly had his contract ripped up unceremoniously.
This unexpected turn of events marks a dismal end to the club's tumultuous 2024 season, following a year in which they fell short of securing a spot in the finals - a stark contrast to their near-victory over Penrith in the 2023 NRL Grand Final.
The 56-year-old coach had recently signed an extension that would have kept him at the helm until the end of 2026, making his sudden departure all the more surprising.
The Broncos now face the daunting task of moving forward without their coach, and the potential loss of Langer could further compound their woes.
