A question to Dragons fans.

Has Bennett changed the culture of success enough for it to stay once he leaves?

 

[Big Pete]

I think Price can do a reasonable job. Has been with the club for awhile has achieved some reasonable results in the NYC and Samoa. (I think...)

People will be quick to point to Henjak but I thought Ivan was pushed to make way for Bennett. He was doing well given he was trying to rebuild the squad within 2 years.

We'll have to wait and see.

He wasn't at the WCC match and Pricey did well.

 

[BunniesMan]

I'm telling you now there is zero chance Bennett goes to Brisbane. It will be either Souths or Newcastle.

there will be no comeback to that line. they're still trying to wipe away the sh*t from the penalty spot.
