On the cusp of a five-year first, Kevin Walters is confident some old-school Brisbane loyalty has returned to assist the NRL club's retention efforts. A win against Manly on Friday at Suncorp Stadium will give the Broncos their first four-game unbeaten run since winning six-straight games in 2017. The six-time premiers have fallen badly away since then, collecting a maiden wooden spoon in 2020 and then finishing 14th last season. "I've thought that from the get go; we just need to keep playing well, consistently, like all the good teams do," he said. "I didn't know that it's been five years since their last four-game winning streak, but it doesn't surprise me either. "It's just about winning tomorrow night and doing the things we've been doing for the last month; working hard from marker, kick chase, pressure, all the little things." "He's got himself back on track off the field, he's made some good improvements in his life, so it's a step back for him but he's handled it well," Walters said. "He's owned up to his mistakes and is getting on with his life."
