The Wayne Bennett Super thread!

[Foordy]

He's probably decided that Milford won't be allowed to play with us next season due to the cap investigation.

I reckon he is worse than the mole

 

[Bucking Beads]

I'd say left wing is more likely for Boyd.

1. Milf
2. Boyd
3. Copley
4. Hodges
5. Vidot
6. Barba
7. Hunt

 

[theshed]

No, those in the know already know that next season Hodges will wear Milford like a hat. That way he is exempt from the salary cap and will be on the books as headgear.

Apparently we've signed Travis Waddell

Nooooooooooo. No no noooooooooo

 

[Bucking Beads]

He confirmed on the Knights Insider which I gather is on the knights website

 

[noisetheory]

is he the person that andy raymond just tweeted about being an average player and an even worse bloke?

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

oh good. looks like wayne and his 2 hooker rotation policy is coming back.

the only time it works is when u have 2 great hookers with different skills. riddell and pj marsh (i think it was) was really the first 2 hooker rotation to succeed and ever since some (dumb) coaches have been trying to copy it.

the good teams know not to do this
Roosters -> Friend
Manly -> Baillin
Bulldogs -> Ennis
Storm -> Smith
Souths -> Luke (korisau played while luke was injured then eased him back into it, but is long gone now)
Wests -> Farah

Hell, even eels only used Peats til he was injured

if waddell is used in the top 17 ill be very annoyed. hopefully he is just depth

I'd say it is just a replacement for Granville, probably on low money and will only play if Macca gets injured.

 

[noisetheory]

i really cant see him playing dual hooker. bennett brought him down to the knights when waddell was just playing qcup.

anyway i just read he's related to hoffman and gagai (is a qlder) so if he's just signed on for the very base wage to be a backup then that should be ok.

Can you pose the article.

 

[noisetheory]

the other guys already posted the source. bennett said waddell was going with him on knights insider.

 

[Unbreakable]

Pretty rubbish signing tbh, even if he is on minimum wage, I'd rather us use Ash Taylor or even someone like Cameron Cullen off the bench next year.. not some 25 year old with minimal talent.

This is exactly what I was talking about earlier, expect many signings of average players who are past their prime (Or don't have a prime, in Waddell's case)

It's incredibly unlikely he will be coming off the bench, it's called depth.

But I guess the facts don't suit your agenda so it's understandable that you would ignore that

It might not be that unlikely. Bennett might want to use a bench hooker.

 

[noisetheory]

macca probably needs some pressure to keep him on his toes.

It worked with the Cameron Smith rumour

 

[vertigo]

Granville is gone next year, you need one or two specialist depth hookers to fill in if Macca gets injured.

Gonna be interesting to see if Bennett thinks he's up to 80 mins or not, that's one thing I'm glad Griffin finally did for most of this year.
