Kevin Walters' future at the Brisbane Broncos is now hanging by a thread as the club faces tough decisions in the wake of a disastrous season.
The Broncos hierarchy has remained strangely quiet as pressure mounts on Walters, with his coaching reputation taking a serious hit after a humiliating defeat to the Dolphins over the weekend.
After being handed a brutal 40-6 thrashing by their rivals in what was supposed to be a fierce contest known as the Battle of Brisbane, the Broncos were swiftly knocked out of the finals race, marking a swift and ignominious end to their 2023 campaign.
The once-promising team, who finished as runners up in the previous season, have suffered a spectacular fall from grace, epitomized by their string of underwhelming performances and lackluster results.
Sitting comfortably at fifth on the ladder after round 11, the Broncos' season took a sharp nosedive, with a dismal record of three wins and nine losses, including a demoralizing seven-game losing streak in the middle of the season.
As speculation swirls around Walters' future at the club, the Broncos have been issued a stark warning to make a definitive decision swiftly, as the harsh reality of their situation looms large.
With the spotlight firmly on Walters and his coaching staff, the Broncos must now confront the uncomfortable truth of their glaring shortcomings and face some tough choices ahead.
