I think he did do an interview. There were plenty of quotes in the same article that contained the email.

Havent seen any interview where he has came out in public and called anyone out. This email until we get some real clarification isnt much proof imo.

As for Wayne being out Wayned, isnt this situation exactly what people said he was after all along? A huge payout, he hasnt had to quit and give up any money and he gets to coach a club with a great history and a very decent Roster. I'd say Wayne has probably come out of this very well. He has forced the hands of everyone he wanted to if we believe the media.
 
Not saying Bennett hasnt done anything wrong if we believe the media, but at the same time, Seibold has been equally as low if he has leaked emails and not just come out in public and said what he thinks. Its underhanded, i'd prefer it if he just came out, did an interview and said whats on his mind. He hasnt actually called BS on anything really as he hasnt said anything himself.

Big issue we have is we just dont know what the truth is from any side.
Lol “if we believe the media”... we dont need to “believe the media”, there was a press conference today and an email that has PROVED bennett was being a lot more underhanded and devious in his dealings with EVERYONE in this situation. Outside of bennett being hooked up to a lie detector and photo evidence what does the pro-bennett group want to show he was the one acting childishly and he did not give a shit about the club throughout this process? Honestly, what would prove it?

Seibold beat bennett. Simple, bennett wont get a payout as he breached his contract quite obviously, he got his job, he used the media. This is a massive win for seibold over bennett and if bennett did the same thing to seibold all the pro-bennett crowd on here would be screaming from the rafters about how bennett is such a genius with the media and is a cunning and smart operator. The hipocrisy is ridiculous...
 
Souths were definitely playing better football then us during the finals. The way we lost to the Dragons was disgraceful actually. I don't care who's coach, performances like that are simply unacceptable.

I just hope the players buy into what Seibold brings. It's well known the Broncos players love Wayne so I just hope they aren't bitter about Wayne's sacking and accept Seibold and we all move in the one direction. If the players don't buy into Seibolds way, it won't matter, nothing will matter and we won't even make the 8.

I think it’s time for Boyd to really step up and lead the boys. He has publicly backed seibold and needs to get all the players on board. We have the squad to go deep in 2019 and they need to make the most of it and not mourn over Wayne.

Also, he WONT get a huge payout. He breached his contract lol. If i was the ceo of coca cola and i was contacting employee at pepsi and setting out plans for the future you think i would get a cent if they sacked me lol. Im sure jason simmons can confirm/deny this but youd think this contract dispute would be a quick decision if it goes to court

Depends if Wayne gets his payout or not, which is being reported that he won’t.
 
Have to agree with what somebody has posted earlier, If indeed Seibold has leaked this email, its a pretty appaling thing to do and nobody who has bagged Bennett can have a good opinion of Seibold. This whole situation is a complete mess.

So Bennett has been manipulating everything behind the scenes to either force Brisbane to pay him out or shaft Seibold's season at the Rabbitohs so he looks good coming in as the savior of Souths.

He deserved to be hung out to dry. He was banking on no one releasing this stuff and it backfired. People want clarity in these situations, that email release gave it, it showed the person taking the highest road publicly to actually be the person being the most manipulative.
 
So true , I only watched about 5 full games last year. Definitely not going to come close this year either. All this has made me " meh" about the Broncos and aussie sport in general. Oh and the media can suck my balls.

I can’t even be arsed trying to forensically examine the bullshit to find out what actually happened and who’s to blame.

I missed most of this season being on Christmas Island and not even looking forward to this season
 
Lol at the White & Morris press conference, they confirm exactly what I suspected, it was all Bennett.

This quote from Morris says it all -

"I'm satisfied the board and particularly Paul and in our relationship and discussions with Souths we couldn't have done any more than we what we did. We've been very respectful not only to Wayne but to his legacy."

He is sympathizing with Souths, both clubs literally did everything they could do make this a peaceful transition and the old flog wouldn't have it. Good riddance. What a way to tarnish your reputation.

At least you'll be able to make Morkel's get together next season.
 
Wayne undoubtedly did the right thing signing Lodge but his handling of the media at the time was pretty poor. I wonder if his toxic relationship with them was the reason why the club started looking for someone else.
 
I am too poor to afford foxtel.

Anyone got a link to the presser or could they just post the video.

I havent seen any proof that email is legit or has come from Seibold. Genuinley, if there is a link to prove it i'd like to see it. All i've seen are some quotes to newscorp, and thats about it.

Regardless of anything though, if Bennett apparently has been underhanded, then so has Seibold. They have both been equally as bad imo and ive lost respect for how both have handled this as well as the Broncos as an organisation. Its obvious they didnt want him here for 2019, so they should have bitten the bullet and done this weeks ago and spared everyone this whole circus. Probably the reason they didnt do it is the fear of the backlash from the playing group.

I'm not pro Bennett or pro Seibold either, but you cant slate one bloke for being underhanded and praise the other for doing the same, surely thats hypocrisy? You cant have it both ways. Bennett has done what Bennett always does, he has played people to get his own way. I dont see Bennett as coming out of this a loser and i just dont see how he has been out wayned. If he wanted the sack ( which all the signs are pointing to ) then he has got what he wants.

That last parapraph should be read over and over again by the people supporting the way bennett has handled this situation.

I have long said and will continue to say bennett is THE greatest coach of all time, but the way he has acted during this has only highlighted it was time for change. We havent had bad results and we may not get better results (its a gamble) but bennett made it a choice between him (a coach with no premiership in 8 years) or paul white (a ceo who has made us stronger in every single component a ceo is responsible for-financial, facilities, development, community, members)and he rightfully lost. Bennett will have success at souths, but we needed a change...
 
Why are so many people making such a fuss about South's coach?
 
Also, he WONT get a huge payout. He breached his contract lol.

I honestly dont know the terms of his termination as i've been out a fair bit today. I dont think we are hearing anything as there will more than likely be a confidentiality clause, unless he has been sacked for a breach of contract. It wont be difficult to find out anyway if a big payout has been made in the future as we are a publicly listed company. Generally though, if there is any kind of confidentiality clause it indicates a pay out. If Wayne takes us to court, then i'd say hes got nothing.

There is a snippet of it on the Broncos website. As for the full thing someone else might know.

Lol wow... the media lie but what you are claiming they have done there they would get sued for.....and for a hell of a lot of money too! You are claiming that they have fabricated an email and made up false statements from seibold?

Also, bennett brought this on! Seibold was quiet on all fronts before bennett boxed him into a corner with his games. Seibold then showed up bennett...

Bennett wanted to get sacked, true.. WITH A PAYOUT! He wont get that. He lost...
