Coach Following

Well it does - he came out and said that he will tell his players to take a dive. That's low.

It is a terrible rule, but a coach shouldn't be taking advantage of it if he is against it.

He's against wrestling, but has a wrestling coach.

Coaches have to do what the others are doing, so they all have the same advantage.

Nothing the NRL can do about diving.

They can't prove a player isn't hurt.

Unless that bring in a rule, that states if a player is down & requires 'medical' attention, (or they can't get up within a certain amount of time) they have to be replaced for 10 mins.

The nrl can do something - take away the "any contact with the head is a penalty" rule that is ruining the game.

The nfl iirc has a rule where if a player is attended to by a trainer/doctor, they cannot take part in the next few plays. The nrl should bring something like that in, only make it the whole set of 6 or so.

And anyway, it doesn't matter why Bennett is doing it - he is saying he will coach his players to dive. If this was any other coach you'd be ripping them to shreds

If this was any other coach, you wouldn't have brought it up.

A coach encouraging diving? I sure would have. The fact that it's Bennett is just icing on the cake.

Oh please

I lost respect for WB, when he lied about the Roosters job.

At least WB is letting everyone know, what he will be doing.

Other coaches are already telling players to dive, but are too gutless to let the public know about it.

Parramatta's Denis Fitzgerald used to get up at every meeting of the NRL CEOs and introduce a motion that the conversion after a try be done away with.

If only Paul White had done the same

Yup, Dukey's example almost made me cry... :sigh:
