Wayne Bennett's secret Newcastle trip on eve of sudden death final

[Usain Bolt]

Mark Taufua really spat the dummy, what a sook. It's a professional game stop being a sook ya goose

 

[RHCP]

it's just a mistake all round..

the experts said that to beat the broncos, he'd need more speed out of dummy half..

someone told him he should ring gids and that he could help..

:lol::lol:

 

[Charles Bronson]

any truth to this? or is it more jelly from frothfield cause his team is garbage?

 

[Big Tim]

Astute coaching all around.

He has his current team ready for a big game, and in his spare team he drives up to Newie to meet with senior players to let them know what he expects from them in the off-season.

The funny thing is, now that the Knights season is over, I see him as our Coach, not the Dragons......

 

[Lego_Man]

Lol @ "anti Wayne Bennett boyz".

Also, what the hell is a 9ball?

 

[Big Pete]

Dragons fans won't be worried. Bennett doesn't spend every waking second in the 'Gong and is often up here in Brissie spending time with his wife and kids.

 

[Haffa]

Dragons fans won't be worried. Bennett doesn't spend every waking second in the 'Gong and is often up here in Brissie spending time with his wife and kids.

:shock::shock: I hope he doesn't do that during the finals!! He has football to think about.

 

[Saints fan]

Dragons fans won't be worried. Bennett doesn't spend every waking second in the 'Gong and is often up here in Brissie spending time with his wife and kids.

Exactly. This is nowhere near as bad as the situation between Mark Harvey and Ross Lyon.

On MMM Matty Johns said a 9ball is a d!ckhead in Newcastle vernacular, pretty poor form all round IMO, it was always going to be made out to be a big story when the vultures found out.

 

[Jason Maher]

If we win tomorrow night, no-one will give a shit. If we lose, it's a nice bit of fodder for those fans who like to look for excuses and someone to blame.

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

It's poor form from Bennett but I expect the players to put in for the club not the coach.

If you're lacking motivation come finals time you shouldn't be in the NRL.

Can anyone traslate into English what Mark Taufa actually said?

"i'm really bitter cause i'm a 2nd string player who wasn't good enough for bennett, so now i have to move clubs and probably end up playing NSW cup next year whilst the other boys go on to win a premiership"

who??

 

[jason taylor]

'I'm pissed that the only club to give me an offer was the Sharks' ?

I think that's the translation

 

[AuDragon]

I'm a big Benny fan, but this is unprofessional imo.

And comparing visits to your family hardly makes it any better. He was visitting his future employer at a time his focus and attention should be on the Dragons. Poor form...

 

[Loudstrat]

Exactly. This is nowhere near as bad as the situation between Mark Harvey and Ross Lyon.

Who?

Poor form. Sends a poor message to his players an their fans. Anyway, where was Tinklers jet? That a 4 hour drive from the Gong and back.

For the Dragons sake I hope they win.

[aqua_duck]

maybe players going to new clubs next year should go hang out on their days off with their new teamamtes as well

Ummm sorry to burst your bubble but this happens quite regularly. I've seen heaps of guys from rival teams socializing together on their days off, that's why it's called a day off. Besides most coaches will have all their work done early in the week, so Bennett can go up and have a chat to his future employer or sit at home and watch days of our lives
