Wayne Bennett quitting the Knights

[insert.pause]

I didnt realise that Tallis and Bennets relationship was so sour. Over this Bennet saga, he has put the knights in the too hard basket lol that takes him down a spot or two in the all time coaching ranks imo.

When he first left brisbane he wanted to go to the cowboys and had a handshake deal with Parr but tallis shut it down on the board and said he was past it.

Yeah they were talking about it(their relationship) on NRL360 last night. They read a part Tallis' book where he basically says he told Wayne he wanted to retire and Wayne called him selfish, Tallis said he felt Wayne just used him up and he didnt hae mch respect for him. Ikin did say he has never heard Wayne say a bad word about Tallis though.

Donks players are backing Griffin.

The rest of the league applauds.

So Wayne announces to the League World "Come and get me".

Touché

I don't know why it's not working. It was there this morning and I read it. Conspiracy !

THE Broncos have got their man if they want him, with Wayne Bennett informing club directors he is ready to come home to rebuild the Brisbane empire he created.

He may very well be walking into a shit storm up there if this probe into the Broncs salary cap issue hits the fan.

Doubt it, it's never had the feel of a scandal that some have talked it up as.

Really? Rumoured to be more $'s involved than the storm rort.

Haha no there isn't, it's a few hundred grand over at least 3 years and apparently was never actually paid to players. The storm breached the cap by close to 4 million over 5 years.

Certainly is taking some time to be sorted for a minor issue. Seems to be complicated from what I've read.

Complicated because they don't have any evidence of it, they could still fine or take points on the balance of probabilities that it occurred but even if they do it's still unlikely to be anything substantial or long lasting.

Yes, the entire fabric of the game has changed in the past 3 years.

I've heard Bennett continues to drive a car, refusing to get into the 21st century teleportation devices.

See today's game? If that's what he's coaching I'd be pretty happy to see him turn either the Broncos or the Dragons into that rabble.

It was quite obvious watching today that they were not playing to a Bennett game plan, I think it was a sign that he's lost the dressing room and he can't do much if the players aren't buying into what he's telling them.

 

[nick87]

Again, is it not possible that Wayne Bennett can be both:

a) one of the greatest coaches of all time
and
b) a guy who's not done a great job at the knights


Isn't that possible?
Nay even likely. I dont see how you can argue against either of those two statements. His record in both instances speaks for itself.

Few nervous nellies putting their fear on display. As it should be.

Who and what are you talking about?
