Brisbane chairman Karl Morris insists Kevin Walters will be the NRL club's head coach next year but says any future contract extensions will likely be on a one-year basis.The Broncos have conducted an end-of-season review into their year.Morris said Walters, under contract until the end of 2023 after signing a one-year extension in March, was the right man to lead the club forward after taking the side from bottom of the ladder two years ago to ninth this season.Brisbane won 13 games under Walters' stewardship this year, their most since 2018, but lost five of their last six games to slip from fourth to ninth and miss the finals.The Broncos paid a hefty termination settlement to former coach Anthony Seibold when they parted ways in 2020 in the second year of a five-year deal, a scenario the club does not want to revisit.Morris said he was not concerned about any perceptions of instability from not extending Walters' contract beyond next season."The way I view it is that he has a contract until the end of next year and at some stage during the year we will have a conversation with him about going onto a normal employee contract or extending his current contract," Morris told AAP.
