Whatever message Kevin Walters has been trying to send his players about fixing up their errors clearly isn't getting through. And the situation has come to a head at Broncos training this week, with details emerging about a fierce spray from assistant coach Lee Briers over the team's repeated mistakes during practice. Walters has regularly bemoaned his side's errors in 2024, with the Broncos having the second-worst completion rate (77%) in the NRL this season, according to Fox League statistics. The only team to make more mistakes on average per game than the Broncos this season is the Eels (76%), who sit below the Broncos in second-last spot on the ladder. The Broncos problems have been thrust into the spotlight due to Reece Walsh's spray for Corey Oates, after his teammate dropped a ball during last week's loss to the Titans. Walsh has faced backlash over the incident but Broncos teammates have defended the livewire fullback and said it just highlights his passion and the incredibly high standards he's trying to set at the club. And the incident has perhaps shone the spotlight on a bigger issue around ball-handling and discipline at Brisbane this season.
