But Bennett gets what he wants?
He would have wanted those players at a cheaper price, so if he gets what he wants then wouldn't he then get those players? Wouldn't his aura have been enough to convince those players they would be better playing under him? He would have got Smith when he tried to sign him, before he became a Storm legend, he would have got Taylor to come to the Broncos at a cheaper price because it would have been better for him and his career especially being coached by the QLD coach and he would have managed to convince Carney to sign and abide by the rules set out for him.
It wouldn't be the first time he has done that..
But he couldn't do it this time.
Agree, however in times gone by during his former stint at coaching the Broncs we were not only winning premierships but doing it back to back. It was almost a given in those days “if you want to win a premiership go to Brisbane”- and they did and for unders.
Storm and Bellamy now have taken that mantle and will be hard to shake.
Yet to be seen if Wayne Bennett still has the full set of powers he had back then and I know we got Bird but just seems we are losing more players then we’re getting. Don’t forget he made a statement he didn’t want to lose Ese Ese, Moga etc which only complicates the situation. That said I continue to have faith and patiently wait.
