NRL gossip: Parramatta target Wayne Bennett with Craig Bellamy poised to reject Broncos

THE Wayne Bennett-Craig Bellamy saga has taken a fascinating twist with Bellamy tipped to stay loyal to Melbourne … and Bennett being linked with a big-money move to the Eels.

The whispers about Parramatta’s interest in Bennett won’t go away.

Bennett is adamant he has not been approached by the Eels but well-placed Parramatta sources have told Blindside the super coach is their No. 1 target if the blue-and-gold’s dismal season eventually costs besieged Brad Arthur his job.

A move to Sydney would not deter Bennett. He will never move overseas because of his disabled son Justin but Bennett will consider the interstate relocation that saw him coach the Dragons for three seasons between 2009-11.

Bennett revealed to The Courier-Mail last month that he had received interest from two NRL clubs, including one based in Sydney.

The 68-year-old is keen for another term at Red Hill in 2020 but the Broncos are likely to push on with their succession plan, with or without Bellamy.

Even Bennett was privately convinced Bellamy would accept a four-year offer from the Broncos, but the pendulum is swinging towards Melbourne.

Storm multi-millionaire co-owner Matt Tripp had dinner with Bellamy earlier this week and is confident of keeping him in Melbourne.

Should Bellamy commit to the Storm, the Broncos’ succession plan will be in tatters, with Maroons coach and Brisbane legend Kevin Walters one option for the post-Wayne era.

If Wayne is not offered an extension I can see Bennett up and leaving the Broncos like he did the last time when he was pressured at the club.

Agreed. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had already made up his mind to move on after his contract expires.

The thought of taking over Parra wouldn’t scare him. Imagine him strolling around the ground on GF day 2020 with his fur coat telling everyone “Ding dong the witch is dead”.

Yeah it would be fairly ironic if he pulled it off!!!
