Bennett announcement today: quitting Knights

[_Johnsy]

if you knew the poster, you'd be quietly confident

Considering the person in question I am more confident than not. Has good form.

I'm told it's a 2 horse race. Broncos and Dragons.

If that is the case then The Broncos must be favourites .......Suncorp Stadium must be due for another bronze statue out the front .....

My thoughts exactly, I would not be surprised if he retires.

Bennett has stated that he still has that burning desire to coach.

a very reliable poster on jubilee avenue says Bennett is a done deal at Saints

Why is the house at Blakehurst up for rent again.....

So has his wallet......:sarcasm:

One thing if Wayne does come at least we would attract those big props we crave for......but wait there's more......do we play Boyd at fullback and leave Duges in the centres...stay tuned :crazy:

I would bet my house on him going back to Brisbane. I also think the deal has probably already been done behind closed doors.

If you look at Brisbane's line up, they have a crop of fantastic young players, and by their own standards have under performed for the last 8 years. Even this year, Griffin has them playing well one week, and horrible the next. I don't think the Bronco's are satisfied with the inconsistencies, so not sure why some are suggesting they aren't interested in Bennett.
My guess is coaching guys like Milford, Barba, Hunt, McCulloch, McGuire, and co. would be a pretty fair carrot to dangle in front of Wayne, not to mention they have the money, and it's his spiritual home (as much as we like to think he is a Dragon).

The lure of returning to his favourite club with an established roster, prospective success on the horizon, and the opportunity to return the club to the winners circle will be too good to refuse IMO.

The only people I have heard talk up Bennett to Broncos are people like you in the public, using their own gut feeling. Otherwise, he's heavily favoured to join the Dragons in the media. There's been a lot more indications of him coming to us than them.

I really hope he does come to the RedV.

Good on him. Will be good to see the Dragons back in contention.

Rumours are getting stronger by the hour mate.
Fingers crossed.
