Time to make a stand

[Legal Eel]

Sounds like fake news.

Sorry I meant bennet

 

[Legal Eel]

O

When was that?

meant Bennett - sorry about that

 

[Twizzle]

On what planet is Martina the GOAT?? One club coach whose success was built off systematic cheating. What’s he won since Cam Smith left???? That scummy merkin is the GOAT. Martina is a great coach but the GOAT call is laughable.

For the record, the best I've seen would be Jack Gibson.

With regard to comparing Bellyache over Bennett, here are the facts

When Bellamy leaves the safety of Melbun and all their advantages I’ll rate him higher.

He’s behind Jack and then Bennett if you ask me. The Wok was criminally underrated.

 

[Gary Gutful]

BA would be there somewhere.

I reckon Benny had a greater advantage at the Bronco with regard to players and resources than Bellyache has had at Melbourne, and as I've stated many times, Benny should have done better than he did with the resources he had available imo.

next postcode maybe

Benny’s Bentley probably needs a new bald hood ornament.

I don’t think any clubs has been favoured more the last 25 years than Melbun, hit with a wet lettuce leaf after being caught systematic cheating. Propped up by News limited for almost 20 years with an extra 8 million a season. The rub of the field constantly and had the GOAT captaining his side for 17 seasons. He’s won zero without him and look at what a dud he was at origin level.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I can't say for sure.

But I don't think we are any closer to winning a Premiership.

I think we’re always getting closer because our next premiership is (obviously) in the future. But I don’t think it’ll be this year or next. 2019-23 was our window.

And how has Bennett gone since leaving Brisbane? The Dragons premiership was impressive, but he also had Melbourne out of the way.

How many more comps should Bennett have won in Brisbane during his 1st stint.

He won 6 in 21 years thats on average one premiership every 3 and half years.

You can't win it every year. I think thats a good enough strike rate.

Bellamy has never won B2B titles including the years they cheated the cap.

Robbo & Ivan have even managed to do that in recent years. Bennett did so in the 90s.

If you compare Bellamy & Bennett - Bennett has gone to different places and had success.

Bennett also won Origin series including 2020 with deadset the worst QLD side i have seen they had Corey Allan at FB, Edrick & Brenko Lee in the centres, Phil Sami on the wing ffs.

Bellamy also lost 3 series at origin level with a side better then what Bennett had at his disposal in 2020.

He must still be going pretty good, as you've been advocating it would be OK to sack the current bloke for him.

 

[Wally21]

They won two games in the second half of the season. Tell me again about the triumph of Wayne over adversity!

Mate, so you would keep BA. That’s fine and your opinion is as valid as the next person on this forum. I would like to see our club be driven by accountability and a singular focus on winning a title. Not be satisfied with making the finals for a few years and then falling off the pace. I’m sure you have the same respect for my opinion.

Bellamy had the best resources. He was cheating the salary cap and had the greatest player of all time when he won most of his premierships.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't think he is going that well, to be honest. My confidence in Bennett is based on his vast experience and his exploits from long ago.

If Bennett is not going well, the current bloke must not be going as well as Bennett.

Like I said, if I was going to sign Bennett it wouldn't be for how well he's been going. I think our team has been good under Arthur's since 2019, including last year. This year we're in a bit of a hole but I don't think coaching is the problem.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

IF the club decides not to take Bennet up on his offer, which I believe is genuine, when and whete will the absolute DOGS BREAKFAST STOP, these fks in the boardroom treat the fans like idiots, with absolutely no regard, everyone puts shot on Pou , deservedly so …… he is an antagonist prick

This is the only stand I'm interested in making: https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/satsumas-plant-stand-bamboo-white-80294961/

I think every coach who has coached in the NRL since 2019 would've achieved at minimum the same with the same players. I suspect most would've achieved more.
