·27 min·1 clip

Scott Prince says Benji Marshall tried the Grand Final flick pass because Tim Sheens made it a training habit.

1. The Kayo Sports NRL Podcast episode centres on Scott Prince, a former 300-game NRL halfback and current Broncos NRLW coach, talking about his path through rugby league. 2. Darcy MacDonald hosts Prince and uses his 2005 premiership, five Queensland Origin caps, and Kangaroos background to frame why his view matters. 3. The episode asks how Prince moved from player to coach and what he sees in Queensland rugby league heading into the NRLW season and the Origin decider. 4. Prince says coaching was not always the plan after he retired in 2013, but he grew into it after helping Hodgo with the Queensland under-20s attack. 5. He says taking over the Broncos NRLW job is a long-term move and describes coaching as a working progress where mistakes are part of development. 6. Prince says the Broncos’ NRLW pre-season lasts about eight weeks, which is shorter than the men’s program, so the club has focused on fitness and defence. 7. He says Brisbane’s attack ranked in the top three last year, but the defence was poor, and that imbalance shaped the 2024 preparation. 8. Prince says the squad has just finished week six, played a trial against the Tigers, and now has three sessions before a weekend off ahead of Round 1 against Parramatta. 9. He says the Broncos are aiming for a nine-round competition and wants the league to grow into an 11-week comp. 10. Prince praises Ali Brigginshaw for her work ethic, leadership, and the way she leads by example rather than saying much. 11. He says Brigginshaw won the Dally M halfback of the year last season and still has more to give as a halfback and a mentor to younger players. 12. Prince says Keely Joseph is a workhorse with a big motor, and he wanted her at Brisbane because she is a Queenslander who can bring consistency. 13. He says Stacey Walker adds world-class competition, may play wing or centre, and joins the Broncos while also balancing Olympic commitments. 14. Prince says Mele Hufanga hit a personal-best fitness test and that the Broncos want more line breaks, better attack, and sharper footy IQ from her. 15. The Tigers section begins with Prince recalling Mount Isa, the Cowboys scholarship, and the injuries and family loss that shaped his early years at the Broncos. 16. He says Tim Sheens backed him at Wests Tigers, where he worked with Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah, Bryce Gibbs, Liam Fulton, Scotty Sattler, Todd Payten, Brett Hodgson, Paddy Richards and others. 17. Prince says he and Benji formed an immediate connection at Concord Oval and spent time on kicking game work, lunches, and defensive sessions together. 18. He says the 2005 Grand Final flick pass did not surprise the Tigers because Benji had already done it at training, and he credits Tim Sheens for encouraging that style. 19. Prince describes Suncorp Stadium as a coliseum where the crowd is so loud that players rely on body language, instinct, and preparation rather than hearing calls. 20. The episode suits listeners who follow the Broncos NRLW, Wests Tigers history, or Queensland Origin, and it may skip people wanting only modern NRL highlights.
