Determined to play on beyond next season, Brisbane captain Alex Glenn would appreciate a voice as the club selects its next coach.
And he may have already let slip who he prefers, as the backrower prepares to come back from another frustrating injury against Gold Coast on Saturday.
The 32-year-old has only played five games in his debut season at the helm due to a variety of injuries including a nasty leg laceration.
It’s meant he’s mostly watched the carnage from the sidelines, the Broncos winning just once since round three and dealing with a multitude of off-field dramas as coach Anthony Seibold fell on his sword.
A loss to the Titans on Saturday would be a club-record ninth consecutive defeat.
And it would also mark the first time their “little brother” has beaten them twice in the same season.
Denying the side had “lost its identity”, Glenn admitted his teammates had lost their focus during the Broncos’ worst-ever season.
And Glenn had plenty when asked for his thoughts on who should replace Seibold next season to remedy that.
“You’ve got Paul Green and Kevvy Walters as the two frontrunners,” he volunteered.
“Kevvy’s (as a five-time premiership player) laid the foundations… you look at those two and they know what this club is all about.
“When I came through I had the Darren Lockyers and the Sammys (Thaiday), who taught me everything about this club and it’s why I have so much passion for this club.
“And I feel like we need a coach like that.”
Asked to clarify if that meant he backed Walters for the gig, Glenn backtracked and said both had been capable assistants during his time at Red Hill.
But he does hope he gets some input in the decision as a representative of the players despite enduring a “mentally challenging” season mostly from the sideline.
“That’s what I struggle with, when I see our boys out there under the posts (after conceding a try) doing it tough,” he said.
“That’s where my leadership kicks in and I felt like I was letting the team down.
“I shouldn’t take it personally, but I do.”
He said an experienced forward would be welcomed next season but was otherwise confident the squad could be competitive.
“I have so much belief in the team … it’s (being injured) fuelled the flame inside me to want to play longer,” he said.
