I think we will see plenty of switches in play.
On the whole, I’d rather be going into a gf with Bennett than Cleary.
Cleary is a good coach, but maybe Benny is the better psychologist.
The players look up to him. I remember the Brisbane bbq gate episode where most of the side spurned an official function to have a beer with him. They put their income at risk. So he must make players feel good about themselves.
And at press conferences, he is totally dominant.
Also the Souths team seems a lot tighter.
