Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters has denied that his team needs to make amends after its grand final collapse against the Panthers.
Walters touched down in Australia on Tuesday after a trip to both the US, where he toured the Las Vegas facilities his team will use next year, and the UK.
While in the UK, Walters checked in with Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, who he called an old friend.

Postecoglou has enjoyed a solid start to his tenure at the English Premier League club, and Walters admitted he spelt some time picking the former Socceroos manager's brain.
"He's been very successful in his early days at Tottenham so it was just nice to link back up with him again and just have a good conversation about not only footy, but just life in general," Walters told 9News Queensland.
"He's a great fella and obviously a very good coach as well.
"When I was at the Storm working there as an assistant and he was coaching the [Melbourne] Victory and they were quite successful there.
"We were just re-linking old friendships."
Walters hit back at suggestions the Broncos needed to make mass changes after their grand final loss.
"It's not really about making amends," Walters said of the team's off-season.
"I thought we had a terrific season, a very competitive season, the first in a long time for the Broncos.
"We just want to get better as a club and certainly myself as a coach as well.
"If I can get better that means the club will get better and our players will keep improving, which is what we need to do."
