Departing Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters is speaking to the media after the announcement that he and the club are parting ways.

Walters is expected to address the media at 9:30am AEST.

We’re going live shortly on this story.

Walters, who guided the Broncos to a grand final appearance in 2023, struggled with is side this season.

The Broncos finished a lowly 12th and out of the finals, a very disappointing result for a team many believed could have won the premiership in 2024.

Media reports last night announced Brisbane and Walters were parting ways after a review of the season, later confirmed by both the club and now former coach.

Walters took over the role as Brisbane coach in 2021, after the Broncos had finished last during the COVID-interrupted 2020 season.

Brisbane made improvements up the premiership table in 2021 and 2022, but did not make the NRL finals series. 

In 2023, Brisbane finished second after the regular season and held a 24-8 lead over the Penrith Panthers in the second half of their grand final.

But Brisbane were chased down by a brilliant Panthers team, led by Nathan Cleary, to win their third consecutive title.
