Wayne and Trish Bennett Split

[Nashy]

Brisbane Broncos coach Wayne Bennett has released a statement to announce he has split from his long-term wife Trish.
"As an NRL head coach and thereby a public figure I today inform you about a personal matter and the fact I have separated from my wife and the family home some time ago," Bennett said on Saturday morning.

Hopefully they can sort it all out.

I read some Fox Sports article that he's done this to pre-empt an article that'll be published in the next week or so.

I really don't care though, this is none of my business.

Benny getting in before something juicy comes out later no doubt.

I guess this is partially why we badly under performed this year. Coaches mind has been elsewhere. All the best to them

It also takes focus off his players. Classic Bennett.

Don't think Bennett wants his personal life talked about.

His personal life has nothing to do with anyone except his immediate family & friends.

IMO: It's gutter journalism.

Sad news for the Bennett family, particularly with his special needs son.
Hopefully they can patch things up.

This is something no one should be reporting on
its a private matter and that's that

I hope this is the end of this story. It's none of the medias fucking business.

In saying that i wish Bennett all the best and hope he can sort it out with his family.

Some news article stating that Wayne is dating some 50 year old woman he met in Newcastle.

Surprised it wasn't a Womans Weekly scoop.

The depths some "journos" sink to is pathetic.
I could guess right off the bat a couple who might have wrote such a story.

Jebus. Bennett must have been going through emotional hell. There's no way he could have focussed 100% on coaching and you can't blame him. Nothing worse than a relationship break down and at his age too. Just wasn't the Broncos year.

On a slightly less serious topic but somewhat relevant, does anyone else get sick of the Channel 9 commentary team making fun of Bennett's appearance during games?
