"Oi, it's not a pretty sight," Lockyer talks about the tough choice to say goodbye to Kevin Walters.
Brisbane Broncos icon and board member Darren Lockyer has opened up about the recent exit of former coach Kevin Walters.
Lockyer has thrown his weight behind Michael Maguire, the new Broncos coach who will kick off his duties in the upcoming pre-season.
Maguire brings plenty of know-how to the Broncos, with a premiership under his belt and recent coaching success with the NSW Blues.
Lockyer, a key figure in the Broncos set-up, was part of the group that deliberated Walters' fate, ultimately leading to the coach's departure after steering the team to a crunch match last season.
The call to part with Walters hit Lockyer hard, given their longstanding connection and three premiership wins together.
