[QUOTE="Organix, post: 3292318, member: 8187"] I was saying that both ways of looking it are simply assumptions. In the same way that we assume that Wayne is correct in saying that it is a toxic environment looking from the outside in. Of course they were better off. They won a premiership. But that is relative. Brisbane had come close, but saying Bennett left Brisbane better off is very hard to say because Briabane remained essentially well off as Bennett left. In the time after, however, St. George has suffered in a similar way to the Broncos following Wayne's departure. Tailing off and now look at the state of the club today. In fact, my perspective of St. George is that they have, in effect, mirrored Brisbane to some extent. By that I mean they have, year by year slipped down the ladder as the Bennett-assembled team dissipated, they struggled to find form and new coaches came and went. They even hoped to get Benny back, like Brisbane. Newcastle was a different kettle of fish, but one could maybe say that where St. George may have had a better management team present capable of dealing with Benny leaving, Newcastle did not. It was also spoken about, at the time, that Bennett was to blame, but perhaps to some, Tinkler was less established (no Premierships) and therefore a more likely candidate. I would say, maybe both things are true...? I don't know. Bennett still wrangled them into some sort of order, but it was a tall order, as you say. Bennett is still at Souths, so he has the team in order. I actually only read the information about him being kept out of the other operations, so I don't know that for fact. That is hearsay. But yes, time will tell. I am not being petty, simply trying to be objective. I am not putting him above reproach or making him out to be infallible. Most of what I see from him are carefully worded excuses for why others are responsible and never him. This is often a trait exhibited by master manipulators, though I accept that Bennett is an excellent coach and his reasoning is acceptable to an extent. I don't believe it is asinine to say what I said. In fact, I think I gave rather reasonable logic towards my hypothesis. I suppose I could have given more justification as to why other coaches failed. Put simply, they were put into a system made for Bennett, by Bennett, but were not Bennett and the club hierarchy was lax in its support of new coaches. The current administration seems to be addressing that. Regarding Bellamy, yes, he is a similar personality. Perhaps they will experience lean times, though I believe a lot of their success is predicated by the need for a strong NRL club in AFL land, so they may have help in other areas. I would already accuse Bellamy of being a dictator, though I do not know their club structure and how much influence he has towards club decisions. DD is showing that he is extremely capable and perhaps Bellamy did not need to inject himself in this way. I do not know. It is all speculation, though I dare say that what Bellamy says goes, for the most part. I think Bellamy experienced similar during his apprenticeship under Bennett and there are news articles to this point. [/QUOTE]
