If I was any coach who got fined this year, next year my press conferences would have one answer and one answer only.

Bennett tried that
Press made him out to be a serial killer for it

Cool. I'd be very interested to see it.

Very few have your access to coaches, we generally only see what the media show us. IMO, he's made a huge mistake not fessing up to how badly they played up front, that ruined his credibility from the start. Then he went on about 50/50s, tough luck, tell us about the ones they got wrong and leave it at that. Or mention that they were 50/50s and that the other mob copped a few as well. Get the details right and don't lie (Holmes had the ball before Maloney interfered with Lowe), that hurts your cred as well.

And suck it up petal, if you're happy to cop the 7th tackle try as "these things happen" when it's in your favour, it's hard to sympathise when decisions go against you.

How has he made a huge mistake? Cause he's getting hammered in the media? He felt it was a better strategy to stand up for the supporters and judging by the response of Sharks fans, some of who are setting up gofund me pages (ludicrous IMO) he's hit a home run.

He made a phone call to both Lyall Gorman and Brian Canavan and told them what he was going to do. He was green lighted. The club pays the fine.

With regards to not blaming the players I know someone who was at yesterdays video session (you are just going to have to believe me, or not). Privately he very much blames the players and did not talk about the refereeing at all.

You'd get find for that. The media would hammer you. In no way would that be good for your club.

I put it to him he was perceived as a sore loser. He then went on about how he has refrained from criticising referees on many occasions etc etc etc.
The first time as head coach he's ranted about the referees ever. Quite hilarious that this is the one that everyone has a bee in their bonnet about.

The money had nothing to do with it Shorty.

Bird couldnt give a rats about being offered more than he knows he is worth or that creeping Jesus says he can play how he wants etc. no he just left because his morals / ethics are way above those you mention

Truth hurts.
Club has no integrity and neither does the coach, say what you will about the Broncos/Bennett but they're far more classy than your mob.
I'd be seriously embarrassed as a supporter.

So be honest - fined
Say nothing - fined

So what they want is lies, bullshit and fluffy ducks.

No wonder I never watch them in the first place.

It doesn't really matter about that because in the media it's looked like anything but, not to mention Gallen doing exactly the same thing.
These are two leaders at the club.

For all the complaining about the referee if Gallen or Fafita or Maloney doesn't do their trademark brain explosions they've done all year Cronulla win the game easily.
Where's the discipline?

Flanno has embarrassed himself even more than Thurston did after the 7 tackle debacle in 2013.

Largely because he's doubling down on his sooking rather than taking a step back.

To be honest, I see the hick/two heads term thrown around often but really the only place in Aus that isn't bogan is probably Melbourne.
