JD was never going to be kept as a coach, because he's not a boys club person. Once Mary goes , Hornby or Dean Young will have done their apprenticeship on the water bottles and sitting on Mary's knee in the box so they will know every thing. Then you have Matt Head in charge of Reggies , so we are pretty well of for the coaching future. As for super coach Wayne , he is only good when the team goes good, look at 2011 leading the comp by streets then shit hit the fan and he could not get them back, look what happened at Newcastle , he was shit, left them tottering on oblivion. Only thing he done in Newcastle was get his rocks of with his new girl friend.

It's a simple equation.

Steelers: strong juniors.

Dragons: the complete opposite.

As Saintisified said. Easts don't need any juniors, they have money and they have been one of the most successful clubs over the last 10 years. You need money.

Melbourne too don't have a junior nursery and they have been the most successful clubs in the NRL over the last 10 years.

If any of our juniors are any good, then we still have to pay them market value or we will lose them to other clubs.

Junior nursery is just that, a nursery for the entire league, the money clubs buy who they want, it would only be good to us if as a club we sold the players and got richer as a result, but League does not work that way unfortunately....if they ever change the rules on that we would become the richest club from selling players alone.

Ohhh yes.
That big bad grim reaper Wayne, who "stole" our squad to make a new team in Newcastle...who endorsed Price....who's won 7 comps all from teams "going good".
I mean, even Mal Meninga could have coached those premierships with the talent at his disposal.
Yeah, Bennetts garbage. Why did we even sign him anyway?? I'd rather be trophyless...............

Wayne Bennett’s Broncos successor unclear after Paul Green commits to Cowboys

Finding the successor to Wayne Bennett as coach of the Broncos shapes as one of the club’s toughest challenges in the next 18 months. Photo: Glenn HuntSource: AAP
IT shapes as the most critical decision facing Broncos hierarchy.

How do you replace the greatest coach the game has ever known?

When Wayne Bennett left to join first St George Illawarra and then Newcastle in 2009 the Broncos first turned to Ivan Henjak and then 12 months later Anthony Griffin.

Griffin blooded many of the young players that now form the nucleus of the Broncos squad in 2018 and in his first year in charge took Brisbane all the way to the preliminary final.



Bennett’s return in 2015 resulted in the club’s first grand final appearance since their 2006 premiership and with a year to run on his current deal, the question as to who comes next has arisen again.

Reports that a third party had inquired as to Paul Green’s potential interest in succeeding Bennett clouded his future at the Cowboys but now that he has inked a new three-year deal Brisbane’s ‘Plan B’ must now be explored.


According to former Broncos prop Ben Hannant, the solution is staring them in the face.

Hannant was at the Cowboys when Jason Demetriou was recruited to Green’s coaching staff in 2015 and given his success since and current post with the Broncos, Hannant is in no doubt that he should be given a chance to prove himself at the NRL level.

“Jason Demetriou is the man,” Hannant emphatically told foxsports.com.au.

“Jason Demetriou will get an NRL gig and when he does he will kill it.

“His track record speaks for itself and after taking over the attack from ‘Kevvie’ (Kevin Walters) I could notice a change even against Newcastle with how the forwards were using the ball and playing to their strengths.

“I have nothing but massive raps on Jason Demetriou as not only a man manager but as a tactician as well.

“Blokes want to play for him and tactically he knows rugby league so well.

“I wish I could have been coached by him in first grade.

“Whoever gets him, they’ll win comps. He’s the real deal.”

Like batting after Bradman or following ‘The King’ at karaoke, coaching the Broncos in the post-Bennett era is viewed by some as an unwinnable assignment.


The biggest brand in the NRL demands a head coach with a high profile and the gravitas to match, an argument that falls on deaf ears when put to Hannant.

“You need whoever the best man for the job is,” said Hannant, who spent three seasons under Bennett in his 245-game career.

“Would you have been happy at the Roosters when they got Trent Robinson from Super League? First year, won a comp. What more can you ask for?

“The game changes and evolves.

“There’s a reason why Wayne has been involved in this game for more than 30 years. He’s an outstanding man manager and he gets good people around him.

“He gets smart people around him who are experts in their field and that’s what the Broncos need.”

I reckon my "humble" opinion is best illustrated in the following manner.

Hasler > Demetriou > Humphrey B. Bear > Anyone else > McGregor'.

I would never want Hasler near us. He was once ok, but the game has well and truly passed him by. He is an old style gruff knock em down sort of coach.

But with no plan or strategy.

He Had no plan B.

And His plan A stunk.

Signs $ millions of dollars back ended, doesn't know a junior if he ran over one, zero youth development.

Stuffed the grubs well and truly.

Nope, not for us, not anyone.

He can go coach Cromer
under 7s

And he coached grubs like kasiano.....no need to say more.

Officially banned are
Hasler, Maguire, Jason Taylor,
Neil Henry, Robinson the Rorters coach, Trent Barrett, Ricky Stuart.

Cannot ban Neil Henry, real good guy and a respected coach.
Applied for the Dragons job and wanted it when Mary beat him.
FACT
Agree with the rest.

Who cares now - JD is with Broncos and may be the next in line, but last 3 of Bennett’s assistant coaches were all shown the door...it’s some type of curse ...run JD run....

That's due to the above article.
Wayne dosnt like it when anyone but him gets the credit for his teams success.

Ever wonder why Bennett anointed Price as his successor?
Cause he knew he'd be rubbish and make his achievements all the more special.
