Vow to rebuild damaged Broncs
been tainted by the Tevita Pangai Jr bikie barber-shop saga and there has been incessant speculation over the future of Anthony Seibold amid a shock slide to 15th place.
The Broncos have also been under investigation by the NRL for a possible biosecurity protocol breach after 10 players attended a Brisbane pub earlier this month. The Broncos are hurtling toward the darkest season in their history and Morris promised he was listening to fans as he moved to haul the club out of mediocrity.
“A significant amount of the criticism is well deserved. We have to do better and that is from the board right down to the players and I will make sure this is addressed,” Morris said. “I understand the fallout is significant because we know we are letting a lot of people down. Of course we are thinking about this. The board communicates regularly on an almost weekly basis. We are putting the building blocks in place to make sure the club gets back to where it should be.
“I don’t think there is a culture problem, it is not as deepseated as that.” Morris has come under fire from Broncos greats who have slammed the club’s plight and questioned why Seibold is still at the helm. Chief executive Paul White will depart in October and the Broncos have been accused of stalling key decisions after Morris announced a review would be held at the season’s end.
Former Broncos captain Gorden Tallis said: “The time for talking from Karl is over. The fans, members and players need action now.”
