Wayne Bennett agrees to coach Knights for four years

[Rusty]

Aren't you the guy who broke the news first (on the Knights forum?)

Yes. But there has been no official announcement yet. Announcement at 1pm.

What's with JD trolling?

 

[Jobdog]

Oh and yes, perhaps I got a little over-excited with the Lang comment. Forgot he wouldn't be around next year

 

[Jobdog]

Yes. But there has been no official announcement yet. Announcement at 1pm.

JD just hates Souffs tbph ...

 

[Noa]

Blessing in disguise for the Bunnies. Waynes a great coach but only a rental, in 2 years they would have missed out on Madge and have to settle for Jon Cartwright or Matt Elliot.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

You can have Boyd if we can have Beau Henry back.

Good on the Knights. If he were to head anywhere, Newie would be my choice. Big day for RL in general.

Now. Lets get on with this sh*t and win another comp to cement the great mans & the Dragons legacy.

Very good point Noa.

Maguire can to the job. He's sensational and still very young. Souths won't lose much.

ABC grandstand reporting that Wayne has agreed to terms with Newcastle for a 4 year deal, announcement at 1pm. JD doing his best to look the twat...

This ^ Or maybe he is turning the clock back to his primary school days...

Yes...but it does look rather official, doesn't it? Especially given the media needs to be given a heads up on the press conference and everything so they can attend.

You've got Soward and Hornby. You don't need Henry

Haven't you got an injury thread to start? ;-)

Looks like romance is dead, eh Bunniesman??

We've got Stanley too.

The Boyd thing is interesting in this case. Gidley is not a long term 6 and he sure as f**k won't be getting moved.

If Boyd goes as a 6, then Henry will be squeezed out.

And where that leaves the great Ben Rogers is anyones guess.

Who are you blokes gonna shed for Darbs if it were to happen? Its not like you've got top shelf players on massive coin (no offence), so whilst its handy in one regard, you're going to have to move a stack of players on that may be on contract.


Or does Tinkler just give Darbs a coal mine and a share in patinack Farms?:lol:

You have too much time on your hands.

Pretty scummy of the Knights to shaft a loyal local like Stone for an import like Bennett... kinda runs counter to Tinkler's promise to bring the locals back to the club.

They are a scummy club though, so nothing surprises.

Skeepe, how do you know the Knights are going to "shaft Stone"? Who's to say he won't be assistant - which I think he will be ...

That's still getting shafted. Unless you think being an assistant coach is equally as prestigious as being head coach.
