So it looks like Bennett is looking for a Club for 2019. I hope we are his first choice Club and that our club sacks Mary and hires Bennett ASAP.

I hope you're wrong. If so, let's sign Maquire.
Souths - Bennett, Brisbane - Seibold, Manly - Des, Tigers - Maguire, Penrith - Cleary. Amazing result but reckon everyone walks away pretty happy except Dragons left w no one except maybe Demetriou!!!!

All that disruption for the other clubs and meanwhile we will have the ever reliable Captain Mc Fookknuckle at the helm of the most stable ship in the ocean.
FMD what was that noise and who spilt the ice bucket all over the deck?

The board think they already have the right man in the job
There is no scouting going on
We are locked into another mediocre 2019 season
7th to 12th

NRL: South Sydney Rabbitohs sign Wayne Bennett on two-year deal

South Sydney Rabbitohs have signed NRL super-coach Wayne Bennett from the Brisbane Broncos as head coach for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

The Rabbits pounced on Bennett on Thursday afternoon after reports their breakout coach of last season Anthony Seibold had been linked with a move to Brisbane in what may shape to be a shock swap deal between the two clubs.

It is understood the Rabbitohs rescinded an offer to Seibold after growing tired of waiting for a response amid his interest to move elsewhere.


The Courier Mail reported Seibold had emerged as the Broncos preferred pick ahead of Kevin Walters, Jason Demetriou and Michael Maguire and is close to signing a three-year $3 million deal from 2020.

“Wayne is one of the best, if the not the best, Rugby League coaches of all time and we are excited to see what he can bring to our Club,” Rabbitohs General Manager of Football, Shane Richardson said.

“His football record is second-to-none and his reputation as a leader is also of the highest order.

“Here he will have the opportunity to work with some of the best senior and up-and-coming talent in the game, which from our discussions over the past few weeks I know he is excited about.

Brisbane's Bennett appears to have been involved in the potential direct swap with Seibold, though the Broncos have yet to confirm that move.

Souths confirmed Bennett's appointment was for the 2020 and 2021 seasons with no mention as to whether the door was open for him to make the move for 2019.

Bennett is the only man to have won 500 games from the coach's box with seven titles to his name.

The 68-year-old already has a close relationship with the Burgess brothers through his time with England, and will have all the resources he will require at the Rabbitohs.

"I'm truly humbled by the opportunity to coach the South Sydney Rabbitohs," Bennett said.

"Souths is one of the iconic clubs in the game. I didn't think I would get this opportunity, but that opportunity has now come for 2020 and 2021."

The veteran coach had been told by his former club that his contract would not be extended beyond the 2019 season.

He assumed control of the Brisbane Broncos in 1988 and coached until 2008, before returning in 2015.
