Actually Bennett takes a keen interest in other sports. In his book he talks about Lombardi and about what he learned from great quarterback John Elway. There is an excellent anecdote about how Elway instantly identified Lewis as the dominant force in the game having watched only one rugby league match.
Broncos are no different to the rest of Australian population in not knowing much about baseball. It's actually a game played in the US, we don't follow it much here. Do Parra fans know a lot about it though?
LOL @ all the Wayne bennet crap. When Wayne talked about "Lombardi" did he mention that it it wasn't for Jack Gibson and Paul Broughton, Bennet would think Lombardi was a cheap Italian plonk? Did Lombardi teach him to run from the press when he pioneered the first series loss in 25 years? did Lombardi advise Wayne to buy a comp rather than try and beat Norths in a semi final?
Wayne knows about other sports, namely diving. Ennis is a classic example.
Wayne also knows about plumbing too. he saw plenty of leaks last week at Parramatta!
Wayne is a senile old knob that hasn't smiled since Nellie Melba got her first push up bra. All he has is the stupid
premierships argument - which is largely false, as he includes 1997 in it, when I distincly recall Malcom Reilly coaching the premiers.
Take away the 2006 Simpkins premiership, and it's back to 4. Pretty piss poor for a mob that not only picked and chose froman entire state, they had a sugar daddy media mogul buy the comp for them!
Big Pete, if you knobs are going to talk premierships to clubs, lets talk premierships! If Brisbane, the mob scared that any club within 500K will bring mortal doom to them, is a CLUB, it would run and field more than one collection of hit up men and a coach whose only gameplan this century has been to give it to Heather.
A CLUB consistes of awhole range of teams. A CLUB is as concerned with the lower grades as it is the first grade. The last time Wayne Bennet saw a lower grade side was when his mum dropped himoff at one some Saturday morning when Benny Waring was his hero.
And finally, quotes. There's only one I need. Peter Sterling: "How well would he have done had he coached Wests?"
