That pisses us off’: Kevvie’s emotional response after Broncos’ devastating grand final loss

 An emotional Broncos coach Kevin Walters said his men are “pissed off” after letting slip the club’s first premiership in 17 years on Sunday night.

The Broncos were charging towards the title when they led the Panthers 24-8 after 60 minutes following a second hat-trick from Ezra Mam.

But Penrith halfback Nathan simply refused to lose and rewrote the script as he orchestrated three late tries to win it 26-24.

Walters was asked to describe the emotion inside the Broncos sheds after the devastating loss.

“There’s no emotion in there, it’s very quiet. It’s just hard to get your head around what actually happened. It’s very disappointing,” Walters said.

“I feel for all the players in there who gave so much, but it wasn’t enough in the end.

“I think the whole stadium thought we’d done enough, except for a few people. It’s something we can get better at next year, certainly. But right now it’s a pretty empty feeling.

“I just feel for the boys in there that gave so much, not just tonight but all season and then to finish like that.

“I watched the AFL grand final yesterday and I thought that’s not a nice way to lose, the Lions, and here we are sitting here in the same situation.

“We should have won that game, but we didn’t and hats off to Penrith, they played some good football at the back end and that’s where we’ve got to get better, our starts and our finish.

“That second half in that period there for 20 minutes, that’s the Broncos I know and we’ll get there, doing that for 80 (minutes).
