Should Wayne Bennett's Contract be Extended?

This is the thing for me... I thought for sure Bennett would've grabbed the pick of the English halves to come over and lead the team around.

You'd probably get them on the cheaper side compared to aus halves and they're coming into a well established team. Pommy halves should be screaming out to come over here and you can't tell me there is no one over there that is NRL standard.

The brutal reality is that ESL is reserve grade/isc standard. There is probably 10 halves here in NSWISC that would make starting 13 in ESL.

I am holding my vote until the season is over. There are clearly problems, lets see if they are corrected and how. So far the decisions are baffling me, although we aren't privvy to players mentality and training efforts, what they dish up on field is inconsistent and not good enough for a club of this standard and facilities.

The reality must become that irrelevant of "we don't have a half", "half our pack is injured" the buck has to stop somewhere and like any other NRL club things cannot be predicted during the season but must be managed. Chopping and changing, making player promises is not the way to do this. Look at Sam Thaiday - the guy looks like hes been drinking schooners every night for the past 5 years - his fitness and condition isn't up to standard, yet he's allowed freedom? I do not care how well he has served the club, the older you get the more responsibility and example you hold - he should be the strongest and fittest he has ever been. Its a professional sport and success comes from discipline at the very basic level. If that standard is not set, the result is what we have now.

Can anyone here tell me why the Broncs agreed to allow their head coach to **** off and coach England anyway? Didn’t like it and couldn’t understand it at the time and havn’t changed my mind.
 
Dobbo saying that there players that have said if Wayne leaves they will walk and his saying that JD will leave as well!
 
Doesn't sound good... I'll agree that Wayne is getting on and the club needs to be looking towards the future but unless we have a coach of Wayne's caliber to fill his shoes then Wayne is the best option for the near future. If the club/board are ousting him over a clash of personalities or something stupid then they are playing with fire.
 
Wayne is gonna walk, it's gonna cost us TPJ and a couple of other quality players and I will be physically ill with anger.
 
I’ve heard Pangai lodge and Roberts will leave if Wayne is let go
 
@Brent81 Does the sound of this catastrophe make your fake fan dick hard?

Even angrier than you usually are? All jokes aside, there is always going to be some fallout when someone of his calibre is forced out. All this shit is affecting the club and even Bennett has the look of a guy who can't wait to get out of the place.
 
So potentially losing Jason Dem, TPJ, Lodge, Roberts and one of the most successful coaches of all time. All this to stroke some board egos. Pull your heads in White and Moriss.

Anyone who is cheering for WB to go, the fallout is going to last for years. Smarten up.
 
Who's going to walk, TPJ and? If we lose TPJ, which would make me beyond upset, we would be able to re-sign Oates to offset his loss somewhat. Everyone else is under contract aren't they?

This is a stupid argument anyway, just re-sign him. He has to wake up to his age and his faults though. He doesn't have long left, and I'm not talking about just his coaching career. The man is 70 years old.

EDIT: just listened to it and Dobbo reckons Walters is still a chance. If that happens...

TPJ has had a great year...will he be consistent? Who knows. Lodge will be a loss but he isint here long term anyway. We don't use Roberts properly so he is wasted here anyway.

What's the worst thing that would happen if we punt Bennett? We don't win the comp for a while? We are already ticking that box.

This club needs a change. $@#! the so called Fallout!!
 
Well no wonder the board doesn’t want the gig to go to JD, he has no loyalty to us only to WB
He can get fucked

Agreed. By tomorrow the media will have the entire team walking out and Brisbane forfeiting the competition.
 
Well if players want to leave with Wayne then that's fine, I don't care who it is they aren't bigger than the club and if they don't want to be here seeya later.

It will just get much worse if we start letting the inmates run the asylum.

It already feels a bit like that now with players not being held accountable for poor efforts on game day, if they really respected Wayne then we wouldn't serve up efforts like against the Warriors and Bulldogs.
