The Wayne Bennett Super thread!

[Kimlo]

So if Bennett wanted to keep Hannant and Kennedy he couldn't have? They were already gone?

You can't blame Bennett for clearing players out to pay Boyd 1.5 million a year according to you then turn around and say that some of these players were gone anyway.

 

[Big Pete]

And he would have under griffin too had he not been stabbed in the back.

What did I just say about facts over opinions?

Ffs there were numerous articles before Bennett signed about how kennedys future with us was in jeopardy lol.

...got any of them handy?

With him, his manager or Griffin saying 100% that we'll be releasing him in 2015?

His future being in jeopardy doesn't necessarily mean he'll be released the next season, it could mean that he may not be offered another contract after 2016.

You guys are just ridiculous. Next you'll be saying that Bennett signed Milford.

Resorting to these sorts of comments just expose how weak your argument is.

You're better than this AP. You may try and stir the pot from time to time, but you've also showed the ability to compose a well though out post on occasion.

Stuff like this just hurts your credibility on here.

Remember, you're trying to convince us that the decision was made regardless of Bennett.

Resorting to these sort of jabs do nothing to win people over, if anything, it just positions people against you.

I'm more than willing to listen to another side of it. I mean, why would I even be passionate of Bennett releasing Kennedy? I don't even think it's a good move just yet, just an interesting one. So if you have something other than vague hearsay evidence, I'd be happy to hear it.

The Broncos are poised for a major strike at the player market with chief executive Paul White revealing they now have salary cap space to contend for the best off-contract players.

The Courier-Mail can reveal that by letting Martin Kennedy, Josh Hoffman and Dave Hala break their contracts early, the Broncos have significant cap space for the 2016 season.

The obvious target for their needs is off-contract North Queensland enforcer Jason Taumalolo but Israel Folau, Kieran Foran, Daly Cherry-Evans, Dane Gagai, Billy Slater and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves are also free agents for the 2016 season.

The club is also willing to let Ben Barba go early if the fullback can find a suitable club.

White stressed that recruitment of players would be coach Wayne Bennett’s decision and they hoped to find the players they needed in-house.

However, they now have cap flexibility to chase any talent they require.

“If needed, we will go to the market,” White told The Courier-Mail.

“We will be in a strong position.

“If we need to add to the roster, we will have the ability to be in the game for a player.

So much for all of our money going to Darius Boyd. We're in a really strong spot heading in to 2015, and if we fail, we have reasonable cap space to improve our roster where it needs improving, I'm actually really excited for the next 3 seasons.

That news has certainly brightened my day (though knowing Barba is gone was still great).

I don't really know how Taumaololo is our biggest need though. He's a very damaging runner but he's by no means a complete second rower. Would frankly be disappointed if he were our marquee signing.

Snap!!!

 

[Anonymous person]

I didn't say that griffin was getting rid of barba, which clears up space for Boyd.

For the record, one of many: Martin Kennedy fighting for career after being axed for the Broncos clash with Titans

 

[Big Pete]

Where does that feature any of this AP?

[I bleed Maroon]

If Hargreaves is available, we should definitely go for him. Taumalolo would also be a good option to replace Thaiday

I want to give this 10 thumbs up for having 1 Jikorima and 0 McCullough.

In the same place as griffin getting to finish the season before being fired.

Are you now gonna play the "unless it is 100% confirmed by all parties involved then it can not be speculated upon" card like the others? Do you still believe that Boyd isn't coming to the broncos because he himself and his manager haven't both issued press releases confirming it?

The writing was on the wall and everyone could see it. Had griffin not been given his marching orders and been allowed to do the player movements over the offseason, Kennedy and hannant were both as good as gone. Griffin had made his displeasure known and obvious, he had dropped both because of performance, and did not get along with hannant.

But sure, Boyd still isn't coming to us to play fullback so I guess Kennedy and hannant weren't going anywhere.

 

[zappa]

i'm happy with every decision since bennets inception except for him being boyds bum buddy, how does his wife and kids feel about this obvious love affair?

 

[Big Pete]

Are you now gonna play the "unless it is 100% confirmed by all parties involved then it can ot be speculated upon" card like the others?

No, but a quote from either those sources about Kennedy not being apart of Griffin's future plans would help you.

Do you still believe that Boyd isn't coming to the broncos because he himself and his manager haven't both issued press releases confirming it?

Do you have a quote of me saying that? Or are you just making stuff up again?

Had griffin not been given his marching orders and been allowed to do the player movements over the offseason, Kennedy and hannant were both as good as gone.

Facts AP, not long-bows or hearsay.

 

[Anonymous person]

Did you not read the article I just posted?

I see you are just going to join the "if its not confirmed and notorized by a JoP then its not true" crew. In that case, like I said, Boyd isn't coming to the Broncos either.

 

[Big Pete]

Clearly because no where in that article does it mention that Griffin is looking to release Kennedy for 2015.

It's clear this has dissolved into a game of who wants to have the last word because you simply don't have any proof beyond long bows and hearsay. I'll let you have it because it's clear you don't have much else.
