Bennett has denied signing SoS, says they haven't even had talks ... yet.
Bennett Says:
“I’m not going to lie about this - we haven’t signed Sean O’Sullivan,” Bennett said.
“We haven’t spoken to him, but that’s not to say we wouldn’t consider Sean down the track.
“I know who’s off-contract in the NRL and O’Sullivan is off-contract and he’s a player we may well want to talk to, but as of today, there’s been no conversations, no approach, nor have we tabled an offer.”
“If he signs it will be my call in conjunction with Terry Reader (Dolphins CEO),” Bennett said.
“His father (Peter O’Sullivan) won’t be allowed to be involved. I won’t have that.
“I don’t know where we are going yet with our depth in the halves.
“Sean has shown at Penrith how useful he can be, he did a good job filling in for Cleary, but we don’t know which playmakers we will have on our books.
“A lot will depend on whether we can get guys like Cameron Munster and Anthony Milford.
“We won’t be jumping at shadows now, we have to stay patient with our recruitment because there’s still another six months to go (before the Dolphins’ first pre-season) and a lot of football to be played.
“We already have one halfback in young Katoa, but he’s only 18 and we will need more experienced guys to support him.”
