Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

[Rod]

Of course there's going to be rumours about him going to other clubs. Honestly with the changes going on at our club and the league world's obsession with Bennett I would find it weirder if there WASN"T twitter dribble about him going to the Dragons, Titans, Broncos, Warriors........

 

[grandorient]

Dragons fans are pretty much sold that he is going there. Believing a bunch of twitter rumours.

My friend, I think there is more chance of hell freezing over, than Bennett coming back to the Saints. Would be surprised if he left you guys.

Can't believe what is happening at the Knights, pretty good team, excellent coach. Surely must be severe issues behind the scenes; more so than we read about.

What do you guys really think are the issues ?

GO

When is this meeting ment to take place?... And when should we hear the results from said meeting

Boyd has been playing like he hasn't been paid, maybe other players are in the same boat? Even Bennett would find it hard to motivate a squad where some players aren't at all committed. A few bad apples drags the whole team down.

From what I understand this is mostly a media beat up. The Knights have paid their players what is owed them by the club. The 3rd party deals are another thing all together and from what Ive read in the past not totally unheard of from players at quite a few clubs.

3rd party deals are not from clubs and do not count in the salary cap

Boyd's actually looked very happy to me the past few weeks and has had a real go, coincidentally since Tinks left. Not sure if there's anything in that.

After the Tigers game and the Cowboys game, Boyd leaves me confused. Angry and confused. If he continues to put in the same effort he has been putting in, then I'd like for him to stay at the club for next year and perhaps even beyond. I thought he played a pivotal role in the back half of last year and I think at this point where mathematically and perhaps even logically we're able to snag 8th, we need him to be happy and confident at the club.

 

[Yosh]

Thought Boyd was pretty quality last weekend. Just his support play. We've been missing a outside man running onto catch offloads all season. I think Mamo would be great to have sniffing around the forwards.

 

[Knight Vision]

Trying to get him for a long term deal....god I hope so

[The Showstopper]

The speculation is Wayne wants to stay and see his career out here if i read that right. We would be insane to let him walk. I have faith he will either allow a wrestling coach or compromise to enough of a degree that we can cope without needing to twist and turn opposing players in a tackle. There has to be middle ground for that. Surely.

Reading Cuthbo's numbers there makes it all the harder to watch him leave. Leeds have bought a player who will own the Superleague in the middle both with and without ball. He will be Man Of Steel material. Our best forward overall. To think some thought he was a token dud at the start.

 

[Noname36]

^ we do coach wrestling. The insinuation we don't is a myth. We're just no good at it and need to bring in someone more qualified to do it.

 

[slotmachine]

Bennett gone.

 

[Mr48Volts]

Yep just heard on Ray Hadley he finishes up this year, announcement later this morning

 

[Nuffy]

So that's a kick in the guts.

So we need a coach and fullback.

More dark days ahead......

 

[Burns]

So that means Boyd is gone as well?

 

[Frederick]

So guess that means our chances of signing Quayle to the board are next to nil now

 

[Haffa]

Appoint someone who wants to be here for the full rebuilding required.

The Wayne speculation would have continued year by year if he'd have stayed anyway.

 

[slotmachine]

Cya Darius.

Get on the phone to David mead.

 

[Frederick]

Also, I don't see the point in announcing that he's leaving at the end if the year. What incentive does he and the players have to put in for the rest of the season?

I reckon sack him now and bring up stone or crawley. No point in keeping someone around when theyve already quit on us

 

[Noname36]

Knew it.

More dark days ahead ya'll. Let's see who follows him.
