Notice nobody dare pour the gatorade bucket of ice over him ?

He's that cool it would have frozen before it got to him

Let's see how he goes without a whole state to pick from.

This always comes up - he's only good because of the cattle he has. I say this: you don't leave the cattle in charge of the village idiot, you leave it to the guy in the village who knows how to get the best out of them. Enter Wayne Bennett.

Always said was good...confirmed now as a great...all doubt removed.

Champion coach

 

[Fast Eddie]

An absolute champion in my books for helping the Kiwis to the WC win.

 

[TheRev]

He is amazing, im only sad he is nearing the end of his run as a coach, and I hope he can keep influencing the game in some way.

[kickback]

I can see the headline:

GUILT NO MORE: Bennett lends Broncos' winning aura to Dragons.
Broncos taking it back for 2011

I thought as much even before tonight. It doesn't take Bennett moving to Saints and finally winning them a title to make him the greatest coach of my lifetime in my mind.

Same here, but alot of people thought that it was Brisbanes on field talent that made him successful, people said "how well will he do now that he doesn't have half of the QRL to pick talent from". Well, he has done it and done it well.

Supercoach - give that man a seat not only on the IC but on the RLIF.

It would be interesting to see what he could do at the helm of a PNG team for a year or two.

I think people are forgetting Jack Gibson

 

[Red Bear]

Not even a particularly tactically astute coach. In fact I'd say Smith is a better tactician than Bennett is. Bennett's ability is heavily motivational, he is able to get in the heads of players and get that improvement out of them in a way others arent able to.

Will be interesting to see how much longer he stays at the Dragons now its 'Mission Accomplished.'

Im not. Jack deserves his place as coach of the century. He pioneered the style that all coaches try to emulate. Wayne not only emulates it, but he has capitalised on it and now has 7 Premierships.

If I had $2million, id be throwing it at him to come to Parra for a couple of years.

 

[zombie jesus]

Greatest of his era, absolutely no doubt.

On par with Gibson, Gibson's influence on coaching is too big for him to ever be surpassed.

 

[Red Bear]

Gibson wins on influence.
Bennett wins on impact

Anyone notice the similarities between today's grand final and the 1998 GF?

In '98 Broncos were down 12-10 at halftime and went on to win 38-12 (28-0 second half). Today the Dragons were down 8-6 and won 32-8 (26-0 second half).

Wonder if he used the same speech? Must have been a good one...

Osbourne should of waited until da's contract was up then throw massive money at Bennett. Unfortunately will never happen but Bennett may be able to get some consistency from Hayne.
