As the saying goes, Bennett definitely marches to the beat of his own drum and all of us are really clutching at straws trying to guess what he'll do.
He is one of the few figures in the game who is genuinely above it all. He could pretty much ride out anything, or anyone, and still come up a true gentleman and champion (in that order).
On the one hand he has a ruthless take no prisoners attitude. On the other he talks of "the game" like it is one of his own children.
And for mine after any family considerations he may have, I think any decision he makes will be in keeping with the spirit of what he thinks is in the best interests of the game.
For the Dragons we were a joint venture looking for a first premiership, one part of which is a proud club steeped in rugby league history. A wide spread, large and loyal supporter base who love the game and their team. Our win last year was not only good for the us, but good for the game.
I know Souths get a hammering from us but they are a foundation club with arguably the most supporters in Sydney. Is that enough to tempt him? Who knows?
All I hope is the day he coaches his last game for us he does a lap of honour so we can give him a standing ovation and show our appreciation for what he has done.
