Lol, OV vs Val. Wait till Val rips into the vodka tonight.
P.S. I dont think Bennett has ever lost a GF as first grade coach. 7 out of 7. Whatever you think about the man, that in itself is an amazing stat.
Co-Coach Canberra 1987?
7 from 8 ...

And look what he did to Newcastle....... Just unreal.
Oh, if only the Dragons could get a player like Milford for (apparently:shockhalf the money Canberra offered him to stay. And then be able to afford Boyd while still paying a large % the salary for Barba and Josh Hoffman:sarcasm:. Oh, if only......
To be honest, posts like that make you come across as a flippant idiot, not the genius you claim to be. Just unreal.....
The guy is the greatest coach of all time (and I'm most certainly not one for hyperbole) yet we have some dopes question his credentials.

He was one game off a grand final in his first year then poor Alex went down and so did the whole club. Bennett has side nowhere near the roosters or dogs on paper but because he is top shelf he gets players to play to there best. Yes he has Milford and Boyd and we have Dugan and Benji. If you can't see that Bennett is a super coach well your the flippant idiot.
I've been found out big time. Bennett is not a top shelf coach (and by extension recruit players for less).
Vasilevsky is actually the smartest on this forum. :roll:

If Mullholland leaves, I believe he should be immortalised as a gold statue outside Dragons HQ; he did after all opt not to re-sign Nathan Green. This could prove to be one of, if not the most shrewd pieces of sporting administration ever witnessed in the NRL.
Apparently prior to signing with the Broncos, Bennett was as good as a done deal to come back to the Dragons. Mullholland was to be part of his team however by the time Bennett was signed by the Broncos at the 11th hour, Mullholland had already put pen to paper with us. He has possibly reluctantly honoured his contract to date. Just hope he continues to.

Bennett inherited a side that was ready to win a premiership with a bit of tweaking. He credited Browny for leaving the squad he inherited in good shape.
He has also said the same about Griffin on the weekend.
Bennett is a super coach and although he did not achieve anything at the Knights, he did get them to the Finals in 2013 where they lost to the Roosters in the Grand Final Qualifier. 1 win away from a GF ain't bad. As for 2014, he did have a player suffer a serious injury which rocked not only the club but all of the NRL. There was a fair distraction there. Seeing your player/team mate go through what McKinnon went through would have been difficult,
So we ignore his efforts in 2013 then do we? Knocking out Dogs and Storm in the Finals and then losing to the Roosters in the 3rd finals game.
He had a point to prove at the Bronco's after he left Newcastle and looks like he has shown he still has it. The Bronco's are not only in the GF but playing very good footy. Hunt has gone to a new level this year. Milford is playing 5/8 for his first full year. Those 2 have a lot more years to come and will only get better which is scary.
So your think his stint at Newcastle was successful? Missed the finals in 2 of 3 years there......
Also do like the way Blair is playing ? what about Thiaday how is he going and Ben Hunt going? its because Bennett has the magic touch. Roosters and Dogs on paper should be in the GF but this Man can make good footballs into super footballers.FACT.
Now, FFS get your tongue out of Bennetts ass. He is an enemy coach. Even if this were a Broncos forum the fawning would be embarrassing.
