Bennetts Broncos in GF

Honestly, I don't think we were that f**ked under Bennett attitude wise; it wasn't a player problem despite how much the media tries to spin it and will probably spin it this week. 2012 was never going to be a success, 2014 was never going to be a success with the financial drama going on at the club. We look back at it and think "well no premiership under the best coach in the game so obviously the club is f**ked". Stone's poor coaching stance probably makes the player's attitude look worse than it actually was.

It's great that Bennett took the Broncos to the grand final, but that side was always going to have a good season with Milford and Boyd in the side. It's a hell of a lot more talented than any 17 that ran out under Bennett and it was a miracle 2013 was the season it was. I still feel 2014 could have been anything without Alex's injury and the payment issue but it is what it is.

f**k Bennett. He destroyed our club. We were average when he took over and he managed to turn us to full blown shit. He did nothing to mend the club in the long term he just looked for a quick term solution and a one off premiership and he ruined us. He did not give a single solitary shit about our club he just took his money and left.
I hope the Cowboys flog Brisbane and I hope he attracts a serious illness and has a shit life.

Not trying to troll, I honestly think Bennett should get Dally M coach of the year this year. That Broncos squad is a strong one but it's not over the top ridiculous. He's got them defending for their lives and those halves are playing out of their skins.

It bothers me that he's gotten the Broncos to the grand final. They're my most hated team and it's like, why couldn't he do it for us?

Because you weren't good enough to beat a Roosters side containing SBW, Jennings, Pearce, Maloney, SKD, RTS, JWH, etc etc.

And more to the point, under the current player payment system We will NEVER have a side like that.

Best we can hope for under the current system is a NSW cup premiership. Should play reserve grade after first grade in Newcastle.

I hate him too. Broncos were going so well before he came back and started making other fans hate us even more..

Old man Bennett basically ripped the carpet from under Peter Griffin and sent him to the unemployment office. Whilst leaving Newcastle with no desire to play at all.

Sux for all of us really...

He goes on to win the comp while we get the spoon... You can think of all the excuses you want, there is something really wrong with the club (maybe was wrong because we seem to be going in the right direction).

Club management accepted mediocrity for too long, so did Rick Stone. With his job on the line, still kept selecting the same players who were not up to first-grade standard, sealed his fate.

So you think that we improved in our time under Bennett?
Pre Bennett we had probably the worst roster in the competition yet held our own despite serious deficiencies. Never a contender but always punching above our weight and having a genuine crack.
He arrived bought a bunch of players and let go of even more and we are now requiring a total cleanout to start afresh. Our football under Bennett was outdated and uninspiring. He did absolutely nothing positive for us.
