If we don't sign him it becomes never .. And there's 2 St.George kids in the under 16's SOO as well. I do expect us to do something about it, as we are a local juniors club.

yeah agree with that, the point i was making was that if Bennett didnt think he could get the job done as he put it, he wouldnt have signed for three years..
he wouldnt set himself up to fail so he obviously thought a three year plan to success was still achievable...
at the knights he knows it will need 4 years because they are a lot worse off then we were when he came to the club

I will officially go on record here and say, in my opinion, Bennett will not win a premiership with the knights!

When he came to the Dragons the club did not have any major problems and had a good playing roster, he said so himself. With the addition of a few new players and staff things were ready to go.

The Knights had just gone through a major financial upheaval. Their officials could not run a chook raffle. In steps Mr Moneybags and everyone was happy. Now, with a run of bad form and injuries, everything has slowed down. Bennett has blamed his players which will lead to tension.

They will likely go into the player market and bring in new players, who will take time to fit together. Tinkler will get impatient and try to stick his nose in like he always does, and goodbye Wayne.

This is just a scenario that could happen. We will wait and see.

We have Kemp playing in the Cutters. Let's do a deal with Penrith for Jennings; Kemp plus some cash for Jennings. Why is that so hard. He could be our Inu.

Who's to say that Tinkler isn't already sticking his nose in and having a go?
I reckon as a player and coach to have a guy like that where you know he can implode at any minute is simply no good for morale and team unity. He would give you a pat on the back for good performance and just as easily send you packing your bags if you fail with no regard for what happens to you after you lose that job. Fact is the Knights were doing just as good if not better last season under Rick Stone and without all the additional recruits too.

Oh of course, working on the next generation of Dragons is an ongoing job, but in the short term 0-3yrs, were still going to need someone else to play in our 1st grade squad.

Doesn't work that way.....we have a salary cap to ensure that it doesn't. Bulldogs try your line of thinking every year.....what success has it brought them lately?

The Dogs will get him. They are working on a different cap to everyone else. 600k is nothing to them. It's only a 10th of the money they have left over from the Sonny Bill Williams cash he freed up. Apparently he was on a hundred year contract.
