Wayne Bennett

Bennetts key signing was andrew gee

Lol.. it's only the bitter Knights fans that seem to rate Anthony so highly and Bennett so poorly.
The same Anthony that thought Hoffman was a 5/8th?
The same Anthony that played Hunt as a hooker?
The same Anthony that played Norman as a fullback?
The same Anthony that thought Martin Kennedy was any good?
The same Anthony that had no idea where to play Barba?

Bennett walked into such a settle squad LOL
Where is Hoffman these days? If Anthony was still in charge he would still be the Broncos number 6 :lol:
Where is Barba?
Where is Kennedy?
Where is Vidot?
Where is Hannant?
Who wanted Adam Blair 2 years ago? No one did! Except for me and Bennett.

You need only look at the signings and resignings Bennett made at Newy to blow this post out of the water.

Let's begin with Dane Gagai and Aku Uate.

Not only that but Barba is killing it with Cronulla and Hannant won a comp last year.

Let's not forget Master Coach Bennett decided paying Tyrone Roberts $400k in 2015 was a good idea.

.... and now he is publicly asking Matt Gillett to forgo a couple hundred thousand year for the rest of his career to stay with Brisbane. ;-)

Is the NRL certain Andrew Gee is no longer associated with the Broncos????

Bennett inherited the majority of that team and put players in the right position. He didn't have that luxury here.

If he had to do the same in Brisbane that he had to do here, he would never have taken the job there. It would have screwed his legacy in the game.

Let's face it - he is a great coach when he has a couple of million in extra TPA's to spend on players, but the Knights found him out as a truly great man manager. He's a bit of a myth.

 

[The Showstopper]

His hypocrisy fools no one south of the border. I hope after this year Broncos players leave for big money elsewhere. Time is not on his side anymore. He knows it.

 

[Hauff]

The tears of a spurned lover. Haha, it's actually Hook that is the SuperCoach :roll: delusional.

 

[Spot On]

I doubt he'll be able to give you many, if any.

As others have already pointed out Bennett walked into a very solid and settled squad at Brisbane. Griffin went through the pain and hassle of developing them in FG but got sacked right before the rewards were ready to be reaped.

The most significant addition that's sparked them to the next level has been Milford but again it was Hook who went after that signing.

I know most Broncos fans have a very low opinion of Griffin but they should be extremely thankful to him - because it's his hard work that they're seeing the benefits of now. I'd be absolutely filthy if I were him - especially seeing Bennett pick up all the praise.

Correct.

How's SuperCoach going today champ?

Apparently broncos lost tonight because the Oz team was named early and they're mind wasn't on today's game

Bennett is the master at diverting blame.... Any money says this will be changed next year to be more suited to broncos schedule

 

[Alex28]

Does anybody genuinely give a shit about the Australian team?

(Other than league supporters going to the game in Newcastle - they might get to see a home team win a game...)

 

[Alex28]

The footage of Wayne bitching and making excuses with the Sharks belting out the team song was quite entertaining

No.

He's just pissed because he didn't get a look in for the gig. No better time to lay the boot in.

Its Wayne Bennett 101

When your team loses by being a bit shit, take the pressure off the players by making the lose about something else and taking the heat himself

He did the same thing last week by "not letting" Milf play for Samoa. It was Milfs decision not to cause he wanted to be available for Aust at the end of the year and play Origin in 2017. Now it just looks like Wayne is the bad guy

Say what you want, he is all about protecting his boys

 

[Mr Spock!]

It's good to see Darius has sorted himself out......

 

[AceAv]

Man you guys are so salty and bitter I ordered you on the side with my hot chips this avo.

 

[Noname36]

Bronco's fans are so weirdly obsessed with us.

I can only imagine they're upset because some comments have hit a truth nerve.

 

[Haffa]

They don't like a chink in the super coaches armour. Hagan was better, Brian Smith was hall of fame levels of better.

Bennett is a good coach but he's not on Gibbo's level.

You'll have to explain this to me. Didn't Josh McGuire play for Samoa last year and then for QLD?
