Rumours and Stuff

There might be some pressure put on him by the Board to shape up, you'd think.

Maybe, but we don't know the dynamics of the recruitment process only the outcomes. For all we know O'Neill has been pushing for younger, faster players and more outside backs and BA has been saying No.

Bennet wont talk to a club that has a coach in place... right?

That's what they say ...

I know it's not Bennett....it can't be....surely?

I mean, he'd make the most sense - sack a coach who has been at the helm for 11 years, it wouldn't make sense to do it for someone like Adam O'Brien, or Todd Payten - but it would for Wayne Bennett...

Now I'm just dreaming...

The timing makes me suspicious that we have now at least approached Wayne Bennett.

I sort of have a hunch as well.

Wayne has been too open about souths before signing off on it.

It's almost very Bennett like to put the media off the scent thinking souths is a done deal while we lurk in the shadows.

But I think we're too late in all seriousness.

Very true.

I hope we see some change - we need it.

Time to get rid of that signature block.

they say rugby league is a soap opera…. Well here’s a script for you -
the Wayne Bennett cup -
South’s vs parramatta this weekend with the winner taking his signature as head coach from 2025 onwards

.... we're boned.

Ha! As if Bennett would sign with Souths just because they beat Parra.

 

[Zoso]

I hope they at least know who they’re getting.

Lomax still happy to come ?

He'll probably come on a discount contract now.

There's something askew with this. If Bennett rejected the Eels offer then why punt BA the next day?

 

[Soren Lorenson]

While I agree that BA had to go, if he is the only one who pays the price for our predicament, it will be a travesty.

Mark O’Neil should’ve gone first

The other blokes aren't going to sack themselves.

Darwin game was April 19 surely that was the last straw.

Why wait to May 2nd.

Seems like we were too little too late.

True, but it's not beyond the realms of possibilities.

True they could get rid of him. But beyond that good luck.
