Wayne Bennett confirmed as 2015 coach of Brisbane Broncos

[Cult]

He 'agreed' on Sunday.

Because clubs can only do one thing a day, right?

 

[Huge]

I would if Hook became the Knights coach & won the GF before WB did.

You could catch up with AP....party on that Newcastle won and the Broncos didn't.....hell of a supporter, rather be right about something than celebrate your teams success

 

[Foordy]

When did you hear WB say he was going to the Dragons ?
Common sense dictates that when looking for a job you keep your options open !
Amazing how you have such detailed knowledge of the timing and when the coaching issue was resolved...source ?
Tea leaves,medium or talk back radio perhaps ? Tarot cards ? WB rang you perhaps, White maybe or you probably are close mates with Murdoch. Poor simple thing.

He never officially signed ... but if reports are true he was talking to the Dragons about their 2015 recruitment and retention

Will do.

Just practicing my chant.

New cast le, New cast le, New cast le

or how it sounds at the game.

New Car Sell, New Car Sell, New Car Sell

 

[Foordy]

It's done now, nothing we can do about it whether we agree or not.

It's time to move on a get behind the we love for the rest of the season and into the future

If reports are true....well we all know how reliable that is !

So he never said he was going there so he didn't say one thing and did something else. He kept discussing the future plans for St George, sounds like he was weighing his options as any intelligent person would. Like a player meeting three club CEOs to see what their future plans were before deciding. It's only an offence when WB does it, hey Kaz ? Such petty hatred. Funny thing is, you probably think you're the smart one

Griffin made 1 position change a year.

 

[Porthoz]

Okay people, the discussion has been heated and there are obviously some pretty divided views here, but let's not carry on with personal attacks or this bullshit about supporting other clubs.

Some of us are not happy with how things developed, others couldn't give a ****, others are in between. That is exactly why this board exists, to discuss and give our opinions based on events at the club we love and support.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and the way they support the Broncos!

 

[Super Freak]

Let's just all be happy that Griffin is finally gone.

Don't get me wrong, he was a great bloke, but he isn't head coach material. Not yet, anyway.

Hopefully Bennett can bring us a premiership, and in the process, groom someone to take over when he retires. While I've made my negative thoughts about Walters known on here, I think he could turn into a good coach if he had someone like Bennett to mentor him.

 

[Splinter]

At the end of the day Hook's results over the last two years have not helped him and he has been replaced by whatever means.

In Hooks defence i think he could make quite a reasonable coach but he was thrown in before he was ready. I bet if he was to do it over again he would make different decisions on recruiting but once you make a mistake in this part of planning it takes a long time to get it readjusted. I think he was almost there but will never get the reward for his effort.

I wish him well

 

[vertigo]

Does $4Million over 3 years seem ridiculous??

No, Bellamy is on more and I bet senile Furner is paying Stuart similarly.

 

[CaptainHook]

Like you say Porthoz, it's time to move on and wish Griffin all the very best now and into the future. He has my support for the remaining time and I think sadly for him he has realised too late the failure of the 5/8 role. Had it been changed after 5/6 rounds when it was very obvious I'd dare say we'd have at least two more games to our total and maybe he'd still have the role for 2015.

I like this point, Huge. I think if we were running first or firmly entrenched in the top 4 he would have probably still been the coach next season. Even putting the positional switch to the side, I think the turning point was the Sharks game. Rightly or wrongly, there are some games a team has to win and there are absolutely no excuses. That was one of them. If we had of got the points there, I have no doubt Griffin would still be the coach.

He's being paid handsomely :laugh:

But the people "in the know" are saying the boards have been meeting him and begging for him to come back since at least may, long before that game.

Whenever Bennett leaves a club, Manly wins the competition. '87, '08, '11.

That is an unbelievable stat.

Time to get the bets in then.
