I know some club officials at the Dragons.
Sources?
The ESL halfback i mentioned that we were chasing is not going ahead. My source got a stern talking to from Wayne for suggesting it. He did however confirm Pearce is being seriously discussed. Jennings as well. Nothing in concrete yet but we are aiming for a world class spine at 1, 6,7 and 9.

Tactically he just does not seem up to date with the modern day coaches. Look at the structure set by hasler, bellamy etc.. Lots of bodies in motion, guys running on angles, halves that have a plethora of options, it looks beautiful to watch. Our attack has none of that at all. I love watching teams like the dogs, broncos, storm, cowboys because they all have similar attacking structures. You dont need to have a brilliant team to pull it off either, you just need guys that know their place.
Coaching the Knights is the true test of Bennett's abilities. If he f**ks it then it will be exactly as I suspected - it ain't hard to coach sides to premierships when you have the majority of the australian team at your disposal.
I don't see Maguire and Hasler who have both implemented new playing structures into their teams which both finished outside the 8 last year requiring any transition period in improving their teams.
To expect that our team would at least be in the 8 should be a given considering where we were last year, and the players Bennett brought to the club.
Transition periods, needing time to implement new structures are all cop outs in professional sport for people who are seeking breathing space for not performing
Bennet doesn't believe in your roster and the players can sense it. When he gets the chance he will not renew contracts.
Whether this results in Tinkler spitting the dummy and sacking him in the meantime remains to be seen.
This was always going to happen. If you thought Bennet was going to keep the current roster and build them up you were kidding yourselves.
In a months time Yosh you will realise that making eighth spot is a dream.
It is well known Pearce is dirty on Carney's sacking and the recent poor treatment of Anasta by Brian Smith. Essentially his two closest mates. He is a very real target if we are serious. I honestly think he will leave the Roosters. Origin form aside he is a superb club halfback.
He didn't have superstars when he started at the Dragons.
