"The Brisbane Broncos have dropped a bombshell on the NRL, giving coach Kevin Walters the boot just 12 months after leading the team to the Grand Final," Walters said, speaking out for the first time since his shock sacking.
The Broncos have pulled the trigger on head coach Kevin Walters, cutting ties with him immediately after a disappointing season end.
The team missed out on the finals after coming so close to glory in the previous season.
Speculation had been swirling around how long Walters would last in the top job, and now the NRL has made its decision.
"It's the biggest rollercoaster ride of my life," Walters said, reflecting on his time with the Broncos.
The announcement came after an extensive club-wide review, with Broncos chairman Karl Morris confirming the news to News Corp.
As Walters faces an uncertain future, one thing is for certain - he will always cherish the memories of coaching one of the most iconic teams in Rugby League history.
