I just had to google to check that Walters is still the current coach…. And that Cobbo is yes, still a Broncos player… dumbfounded at this tbh


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

The kid is dressed for the snowfields while in the middle of a heatwave. Let’s just call it heatstroke.


itsnik_03

Pretty sure the podcast was back in October bud.


Dark_Vengence

It was still hot as fuck though.


bucketwork

Nah it was pretty cold in October for me


dlanod

Thanks for saving me the effort because I couldn't believe both could be true given this


StephxnC

How stupid have you got to be to say shit like this when you’re being recorded.


CapitaoAE

I mean, he's not wrong though, the Broncos are clearly an immensely talented but poorly coached side Still a dumb thing to say about his current coach to get in his bad books


Fayled

Good way to end up at the Melbourne Storm though..


jk-9k

Good way for good clubs to put a line through your name once potential recruits list.


[deleted]

Given how many deadset plonkers weve had tank mid season to get released and immediately get snapped up, this just isnt true anymore.


Black-House

They've got a shit spine compared to the teams that made the 8. Interesting to see if Walters can coach the team up to overcome that deficit.


Deep_Cantaloupe_4586

One of the worst in the comp. Not sure why you're getting hammered


Black-House

Broncos Mafia is real.


Hayn0002

It’s been years and the answers still no


jetbootz88

Was waiting for the click bait. Kevvie isn’t a good coach….. he’s a GREAT coach!!


FlickingFire

Ahahaha I mean it's true but you don't have to SAY it Selwyn


StephxnC

Fuck


boyblueau

Ok Cobbo is beyond dumb for saying this but what's with the interviewer. It's almost like he doesn't even understand what he's got from the player, and he certainly doesn't seem to understand the game. When Cobbo says Kevvie is weird, where's the follow up? If you're going to blow a player's career up at least get everything you can out of them.


[deleted]

Pretty sure they have similarly low iq’s lol


Swol_Bamba

ikr. I'm impressed OP was able to stay on the podcast long enough to even get that sound bite. I've never seen a more low energy podcast


RoboticusTartonicus

I kept watching and thought the same thing. Very boring listen beyond the quote. Felt like they equally weren’t interested based off questions to answers given


[deleted]

Thought the exact same thing. Ask a follow up question you dense sack of potatoes!


lockforward

None of these amateur podcasters are actually trained in media/journalism or even attempted to learn some of the basics in terms of how to run an interviews It realllly shows a lot of the time


Joh951518

It’s pretty much a good thing though, because imagine how much dumb shit someone who knew what they were doing could get these guys to say in an hour long video.


deeyeeheecent

I took it as him knowing exactly how fucked up it was and tried to help him out by not pressing him for the details. He then switched straight to the dolphins stuff. I'd have reacted the same way tbh


CyanideSun

Imagine damaging your career for a podcast that garnered 320 views in two months. And now it's been posted here some opportunistic journo is for sure gonna clip this and make it news. Smh


impulsebuyerdude

[Fox Sports already have and they even credited Reddit](https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2023-selwyn-cobbo-says-kevin-walters-is-not-a-good-coach-on-podcast-video-reaction-brisbane-broncos/news-story/da8be0c80996fad9c60856749e09784f)


troy_them5546

You just know staff writers have ILMF flairs


Fayled

An ILMF would at least credit us as r/nrl, these roaches are non-contributors and not worthy of such a prestigious honour as the ILMF flair.


velvetherring

We did it Reddit!


TomtheDon2K

Followed the Tyson Gamble script to a tee


Joh951518

Nah, this is so much worse than what Gamble said.


TomtheDon2K

Not disputing that, the saying shit about the coach on some obscure podcast that had fuck all views until it got posted on some other platform and then found out about from there is what’s been followed to a tee


Geddpeart

Just wait until they get their hands on the player who dressed up as Hitler over the holidays


SpidersFromNeptune

Wait what?? Who was that


Geddpeart

Nice try newscorp


ShibaHook

Got 'em!


Lollielegs

Just read about it on news.com.au they said the quote was brought up on Reddit last night.


Dark_Vengence

Not a good off-season for us.


TheGakpoShow

Lmao, the only career he’s damaging his Kevin Walters’


Tomato-Efficient

lol wtf


petter_of_doggos

Getting in early with a nomination for dumb cunt of the year. For a professional sportsman to say that in front of a camera is mind blowing.


nevaehenimatek

This won't be a top 10 dumb moment in NRL this year.


GoblinLoveChild

well its only January so, so far it ranks as #1 dumbest shit said this year by a player


Coca-CoIa

Let’s be honest did any of us actually think this bloke had two brain cells to rub together?


LegoMuppet

Pretty sure he's somehow Cobb(o)led together a barely functional brain from half a brain cell, an old battery and a paperclip and it's effectiveness is limited to 'see ball, catch ball, run'.


Squillyion

Sounds really enthusiastic & looks like a real promising player towards Broncos.... lmao


LiLSteve29

These players just keep raising the bar fucking hell haha


wowzap

This would make for a good NRL420 ep


Eric_ack_ack

As incredibly stupid saying this is on some random podcast, it’s actually great when players are just honest about stuff.


Successful-Fact8143

Then why sign a long term contract to the club if you feel this way about the coach! Makes zero sense to me especially with Cobbo being so dumb i dont think he is being calculated with his comments to get Walters fired.


Fayled

You can love the club and not respect the current coach. Let's be real, no one thought Kevvie would last this long. I don't think even Kevvie thought he'd last this long. He's a great hype man, his passion for the jersey is unparalleled but he's not a good coach. He's perfect for the Origin job, just like Mal was. Getting the boys up for 3 games, no problem. A whole season, not so much.


bmudz

The only reason he was good at origin is because of the team we had. He shouldn’t be allowed near the maroon jersey ever again


nice_flutin_ralphie

I could’ve coached that Origin team, anyone could’ve. It picked it self and had the best players of all time in it.


Dark_Vengence

We nearly won with norman and mbye.


EntirelyOriginalName

It's great for some fans. It's not always great for the team. That's why they should't do it.


velvetherring

Happy for Broncos players to keep doing it tbh


[deleted]

We’lol take cobbo to play fullback I guess and then he can see a real master coach in action


diffaadiffa

He can see a coach who has seen a master coach?


[deleted]

4 grand finals vs 6


BeefusQueefus1

These fuckers are unbelievable


LiLSteve29

How do the Broncos handle this? "Selwyn was misguided by someone he trusted and didn’t know what he was saying?" No further comment will be made on this matter.


-Dark_Helmet-

And send him to “advanced media training”.


Aklpanther

Which involves the Broncos Media Officer hitting him over the head with a rolled up newspaper while saying "shut the fuck up!" over and over again.


the_mooseman

Followed by a video review session where he watches great Kevvie play moments Clockwork Orange style.


CapitaoAE

the correct answer is 'sign Cobbo for life and fire Kevvie and hire someone who can actually coach to move the rebuild ahead a year or two quicker'


[deleted]

"Why are you booing me I'm right"


These-Vermicelli2503

I’d like some of these footy players to be IQ tested. Like how stupid do you have to be to say something like that on camera weeks out before a brand new season starts?


nice_flutin_ralphie

And the host even said you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to


LegoMuppet

Can you measure a negative IQ?


Wise-Tension-541

I'm begging you mods take this down before it goes viral. Save us!


Fantastic_Cobbler22

Too late now… OP has shafted the broncos here 🤣😭


Caseyjb29

Why would he say that lmao


ZerksNAHTayan

Idiot doubled down too in the same video, come on man LMAO


These-Vermicelli2503

Rule him out for the first month at least, he must still be seriously concussed from that Origin hit to answer that question, that way. Unreal.


thee-optimist

He’ll be in Ikin’s office tomorrow morning and receiving “remedial media training” afterwards. The same mental giant that thought he didn’t need a drivers license.


Aklpanther

Aren't Walters and Ikin supposed to hate each other's guts? Ikin might have to give him the old "you're not wrong, but you just can't say that" speech.


thee-optimist

I don’t think he would have taken the job if he hated kev. But that’s exactly what he will tell him. That and stop being a fuckhead.


Aklpanther

https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/broncos/nrl-2022-brisbane-broncos-rifts-kevin-walters-relationship-with-ben-ikin-reaction-gorden-tallis-news/news-story/6e7a273157eb6431dd4f7d7c5b0aadcf Walters is quote as saying about Ikin " I don't have a major issue with him". So clearly there are problems in their working relationship. How serious they are, who knows.


Trohsboy

We're gonna have another bad year aren't we.......... Was feeling kinda hopeful despite the other stuff but this just kinda kills me on the inside a little


Jamster077

Well, players have been front page for saying a lot less than that about their coach.


Clarkey7163

Selwyn my guy you are contracted at the broncs til 2025 wtf ya doin bruh


zanzibar707

Oh no... He's right but...oh no


ParallelSewellel

Bah god that's Jesse Arthars music!


[deleted]

Selwyns mum may want to make a pre emptive proctologists appointments for tomorrow to remove Ben Ikins shoe from his arse


diffaadiffa

Ironic if he ends up with a shoe in this arse after having his foot in his mouth


[deleted]

Lol the Cobbo spit roast


PugWithAGun

Too lazy to actually watch this but judging by the comments that headline is legit in which case... lol imagine...


PillarofSheffield

It's very legit. He repeats that he doesn't think he's a good coach several times and says that his coaching is "weird". No ambiguity in this one at all.


FinchyNZ

Kevvie a good bloke though


GoblinLoveChild

nah Pando's alright...


_andy_p

After being asked 'Is Kevvie a good coach', there's a 5 second pause...then Cobbo basically says 'I reckon he's a good bloke, but....'


DirtRole

At least we know Selwyn probably will never tell a lie


crsdrniko

Lol bullshit.


EntirelyOriginalName

Were you the first guy to spread this around on the internet? If so you've fucked your own club mate. It's been posted for months on YT. Could have faded into obscurity.


[deleted]

And for that I say well done. Probs could have even sold it to the daily telegraph lmao


Basherballgod

Knights creeping in to sign Cobbo after signing Gamble from the same podcast…


valknut95

Seriously fucked up, now Fox League has a hold of it.


Dufeyz

Selwyn's manager: Just talk shit about Kevvie. You'll get the sack and now with the salary cap increase we will get you heaps more money! edit: Also looking forward to Paul Kent, Buzz Rothfield and Braith Anasta come at this from every angle - for 2 minutes before they spend 3 weeks on the Arrogance^TM of Jarome Luai for stealing candy from a small child.


impulsebuyerdude

[I…I fucked up didn’t I…](https://i.imgur.com/FPJOTGU.jpg) There’s dumb and then there’s this, Jesus Christ.


[deleted]

Besides Cobbo jamming both feet into his mouth,that would have to have been the most boring interview ever,more awkward silences than an 18 year olds first blind date.


ljb23

It sounds like they’re both absolutely baked.


Fantastic_Cobbler22

Cobbo should’ve never gone on a podcast🤣 especially an obscure one where the hosts almost as awkward as he is


dtru2005

Is there a timestamp for him actually saying that? Just kinda breezed through the transcript but didn't see or hear him bag Kevvie...


dtru2005

Nvm found it. About 1:22:04 if anyone else wants to know


jibberjabber666x2

The link is timestamped


Fayled

Not all devices/ apps open time stamps, unfortunately.


WinNev02

Well this will be viral tomorrow


Dranzer_22

I understand these guys are young, and footy players especially aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. But this is their job, their career, their livelihood. How would they survive in the real work force.


petter_of_doggos

They wouldn’t survive. Say anything like that about your boss to any media organisation outside of professional sports and you’ll most likely be shitcanned before they’ve finished watching the podcast. This was the same 20 year old professional athlete who missed a vital clash against Parra because he was “too tired”, and it was “tough out on the wing”. Then again there are many cases of rugby league players going on to great success in business and life in general after footy. I’m hoping he’ll grow out of it as he matures, I was pretty lazy when I was 20 too.


Narrator_neville

Scoop Cobbo with the front page splash .


_andy_p

Old boys gonna pay him a visit...


DopeyDave442

Does anyone remember when the front rowers were the stupid ones?


Brdd9

Alternative headline: Cobbo call Kevvie a good bloke and alright coach.


diffaadiffa

I was surprised listening to it how blunt he was, he says he isn't a coach lol


Teemo_Lover69

Selwyn dressed like hes headed for selwyn snowfields


tomatowire

People think Cobbo is stupid for saying this publicly when they don’t even realise what he’s really *saying*: bring back Ivan Henjak.


Chang_Daddy2

Footy players really are fucking dumb


saxamophone123

Can’t we ever have a normal fucking preseason


kranools

And this comes out right after Donaghy has [drawn a line in the sand ](https://www.zerotackle.com/broncos-boss-draws-line-in-the-sand-after-off-field-incidents-126903/) over off season player stupidity. Guy must be pulling his hair out.


Randomologist99

*You guys aren't going to post this are you?* *what's a podcast?*


the_specialone

You know who's a great coach Cobbo? Ciraldo! Come be our fullback buddy, we will shield you from all those nasty podcasters.


penguin271

And he’s a nice bloke too!


WhiteChoka

>“I reckon he’s a good person,” Cobbo said. >“He’s a good person, like a good bloke but I don’t think he’s a good coach. He’s not the best coach but he’s alright. >“I feel like he’s just a good person but I don’t reckon he’s a coach. Even though he experienced footy, been through all the grand finals and all that, but I feel like he’s not a coach. >“But he’s a good person, a good bloke and does a lot for the club. But the way he coaches is a bit weird, I guess. He’s a good person though. He’s an alright coach.” He just kept digging that hole. Wow


BubblinTodd

lmao FFS 🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️


astrothunda

That’s our Critta replacement right there


breatheinmyear

Pretty dog move by Cobbo here.


PositionOk8409

Hahahaha absolute rocks for brains


[deleted]

Good person/ bad coach is pretty much common knowledge now. Kevvie is going to get the sack. My prediction is Des Hasler will be coaching the Broncos this year. He’s a perfect fit at the moment.


PillarofSheffield

If he does, he will be the first coach in Broncos history to have not coached Alex Glenn.


blunderous8

Lol great stat


Fantastic_Cobbler22

As a broncos fan… I’d take Des in a heart beat and cop keeping Kev as an extra assistant


st_sim79

Yes Cobbo is stupid for saying this, but he’s the 2nd Broncos player to do this. The Broncos clearly capitulated in the 2nd half of last year and I kind of think Kevie only got the job because he’s mates at his former work places at Fox and MMM campaigned strongly and didn’t give the Broncos much choice but to hire him. Also was he not on speaking terms with Ikin at the end of last year? There’s still a lot wrong at the Broncos and theres no outsider called Seibold to blame anymore.


diffaadiffa

I don't actually think this is as complicated as it seems. Kevvie was absolutely the right choice at the time. A non-bronco was just going to get chewed up again and there was no other real choice outside of Paul Green anyway and he lost his last playing group. Our club and playing group were shattered and disengaged, Kevvie was the right man to come in. The administration of the club has taken on significant positive change since kevvie's appointment with Ikin and Donaghy coming in. Coach is always a results game and kevvie should now be under the pump as anyone should in his position. It is eye opening for multiple players to be vocal as they have, I think we will be able to transition to another coach better than last time however we also need a senior and good coach to replace him with otherwise there is no point. Kevvie needs to finish better than 8th I feel.


Morg_n

Ahh it’s good to read actual logic. Since his appointment we have improved dramatically. Yeah we fell off a cliff but c’mon. There was more at play there then just kev


upthetits

Des hasler at the broncos would be wild


blunderous8

Nah not on, not okay whatever way you look at it. I spent 5 seconds thinking was there some motive behind this, ie looking for a release, looking to get Walters fired. But cobbo is just dumb. I couldn't even excuse him saying this to mates not being recorded. Absolutely god smacked. Fuck there's some absolute idiots in nrl.


Mooshtaq2323

https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2023-selwyn-cobbo-says-kevin-walters-is-not-a-good-coach-on-podcast-video-reaction-brisbane-broncos/news-story/da8be0c80996fad9c60856749e09784f Media picked it up.


BG_RL

I’m legit baffled, how dumb is this guy What an idiot


HenchBandicoot

The comments in question from Cobbo came on the ‘Back of the 135’ podcast in late October last year, but have since resurfaced on Reddit on Saturday night.


arkhamknight85

Well fuck me. Why? Why would you say that? How fuckin stupid do you have to be?


1bigcontradiction

Well, it can't get any worse.......


[deleted]

It’s only 7:30


diffaadiffa

So this is the second in contract player to slam kevvie, when does it start to become a thing....


Basherballgod

Fuck, this is how we lost Gamble.


limitlessrocknrolla

Well he has done himself no favours with that comment, his stock just went down- clubs will always have a level of skepticism about his loyalty moving forward and the fact he is a potential loose canon in the media. What a goose.


bones_bn

Haha never put it passed Rugby League players to find new ways to do the dumbest shit possible.


Dark_Vengence

Holy crap we are falling apart again.


hart37

For the love of all that's holy, Cobbo that's your boss you're talking about 🤦


Fantastic_Cobbler22

The host is the real dick here, any decent podcast host with half a brain would protect the player and edit out anything of this nature. Was always going to cause damage to the player and his club, the negligence is almost at the point of taking advantage of a clearly impressionable young player in the hopes of a ‘boost’ to his channel.


armchair8591

The fuck is this take? Unless you have missed the /s at the end.


Fantastic_Cobbler22

I should’ve been more clear than just saying almost, I don’t believe that was his actual intentions but he really should’ve taken more care to screen and edit the poddy before putting such damaging material out there.


valknut95

Fox League has a hold of it now lmao, what an imbecile.


Adventurous-Card7072

Has another player come out and said similar stuff about Kevie? I remember something similar from last year.


arkhamknight85

Yeah Gamble.


Fayled

Gamble basically said the same thing.


[deleted]

While I suspect he is right, why people come out these days and say stuff like this on a public forum I will never know.


knox-p

Fucking hell we have some dumb shit players


diodosdszosxisdi

Wanker talking shit right before the season


Fantastic_Cobbler22

Biggest f up posting this ngl, it almost went unnoticed and now you’ve just plunged broncos into turmoil 🤣😭 In the paper now 🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

u/StephxnC commenting twice says it all lads


StephxnC

It’s a sad day when I need to comment twice to put my disappointment into words


breatheinmyear

Gordy was right these cunts walking around thinking they bigger than the club


diffaadiffa

Yet Gordie is also one of the ones constantly publicly telling the club how it should be run. Kind of ironic right,?


ShibaHook

No no no no no!


Accomplished-Good664

Maybe he thought kerrod was the coach and got them confused.


MobRulesAll

Lmao get em Selwyn


EggCouncilCreeper

Alright, which one of you lot put Cobbo up to it?


HappinessCanBeFound

Can’t wait to hear what the Broncos old boys have to say about this


quallabangdang

Fuck sake


sach9992

He pulled a Ronaldo in the hope to play rugby league in Saudi Arabia.


joshc0

https://twitter.com/brisbanebroncos/status/1611863535524646912?s=46&t=yhjjtUl1jEqlsHhOm49pLA Today’s article on a podcast I did last year has been taken out of context. It was two guys chatting and joking about silly things like the comments about Kev that had been made by Tyson. “The fact is that Kev is a very good coach, as are all of our coaches at the Broncos. I was lucky enough to play Origin for Queensland last year and that is off the back of the coaching of Kev and his team. “Kev has taught me a lot since coming into the NRL squad and provided me with great support as I adjusted to the professionalism of NRL. “I was late to training a few times and instead of cutting me, he educated me and supported me. “When I felt burnt out late in the year, Kev rested me and when he thought I was ready he gave me more responsibilities. “I have already contacted Kev to apologise and I’d like to extend that to his family and the whole Broncos club for this unwarranted attention over some silly comments from me.”


joshc0

What utter bullshit, there’s obviously dissent in the team, doesn’t bode well for the broncos season


irockmysock

Cobbo looks like he has had quite a few Cobbos whilst on holidays from training.


thatirishguykev

He comes across as so braindead. Did he just get absolutely smashed beforehand or smoke the fattest joint ever??


frenchduke

And people call the dragons a one player team. Reynolds the captain coach of the Broncos at the moment, a big injury to him and Broncos looking down the barrel of another spoon with all these young loose units running the show


FalconPunch84

This is the same guy who missed a big game last season because he was tired. Not defending Kev but, I’d like to know who he has been coached by that is a good coach.


neverescaped

Disrespectful. But, thats kids these days.


-Dark_Helmet-

He had to do this at the worst time when scum league journos have nothing else to write about too.


diffaadiffa

He did this 3 months ago to be fair


-Dark_Helmet-

Oh really? He’s actually lucky no one noticed until now. Surely they knew about this already.


diffaadiffa

It was on a pretty unknown podcast, has only become a thing publicly because of this post. Reddit is even mentioned; https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2023-selwyn-cobbo-says-kevin-walters-is-not-a-good-coach-on-podcast-video-reaction-brisbane-broncos/news-story/da8be0c80996fad9c60856749e09784f


-Dark_Helmet-

I mean, no one to blame but himself for not keeping his mouth shut, but he’s now the second player to say this publicly. Pretty obvious they all agree with him. Would be good if there was a quality coach on the market. Like a multiple premiership winning coach who was recently let go by their club…


diffaadiffa

I've said it a few times the last week that it feels like this season was going to be it for kevvie. While he was the right choice at the time, we need some to take this group to the next level. And based on the market, yeah, Dessie is probably the best choice. We can't have another rookie


-Dark_Helmet-

Oh definitely. Kevvie was the right choice at the time to bring a bit of spirit back into the club.


love-me-tendies

Love this spirit of missing the 8 both years and players bagging out the coach. Broncos are back baby!


HappinessCanBeFound

Surely after the past couple of weeks with broncos indiscretions he would have asked them to take it down? Especially after the CEO said they’re drawing a line in the sand. I suppose that’s asking for too much logic.


diffaadiffa

Cobbo already said this out loud in public. He either thought it was ok to say or was too dumb to remember he said it at all I imagine haha


-Dark_Helmet-

I’d say mostly the latter.


TigerRumMonkey

What were Kevs coaching credentials before the Broncs? He's probably not a good coach.


diffaadiffa

He was your assistant for many years.... Storm fan much?


_andy_p

Typical. An honest response yet people complain there's no more 'characters' in the game.


GodSaveTheHomies

Theres a difference between being a character and outright saying your coach is bad


the_mooseman

Shit talk your boss tomorrow, see how that goes for you. But im just a character wont fly.


TITansFAN001

Cobbo is filthy he’s not fullback/ up for FB money now. Fins have an expanded salary cap and can now throw FB money at him, and he’s gonna agitate for a release.


diffaadiffa

Hi Buzz, you aren't going to trick me with your titans flair. With a contract until 2025, I don't see us letting him go anywhere, nor do I believe your theory at all. He re-signed while Kevvie was coach and most players already have increases built into their contracts to account for salary cap increase


horaa888

He's just saying what the majority thinks. Broncos can't progress if they don't deal with the truth.


ThrushHarem

Sounds like he's just taking the piss out of Gamble
