I think that with pretty much any coach bar Henjak, we would've had Inglis.For some reason I don't think Bennett is the type of man who will put up with players bitching that their "best mate" has been fucked off. The great thing about Bennett is, despite what some posters are saying, that he is a draw card for talent. If he were coach instead of Henjack we would have had Inglis, which would have probably translated into a premiership in 2011.
@rnabokov
I sent a PM to a member here stating that when we win our next GF with Bennett in charge, people here will say I told you so.
But they have forgotten Henjak & Hook blooding the kids.
"This is a guy that ran with stagg in the centres"
We won a premiership with Stagg in the centres. What would you prefer Bennett do? Not win premierships?
Don't let logic get in the road of you thinking...
That's certainly an interesting stand point from you being a storm fan.
All I'm saying is it's a bit rich for certain posters to whinge because the pro WB people are 'gloating', after a week where any one that was for the WB signing had their ethics questioned.
Basically you treat people like arseholes and are then surprised when they behave like arseholes
But who questioned anyone other than Bennetts ethics? I sure didn't.
This "gloating" is the very thing that the staunchly pro-Bennett people do that makes everyone else think theyre stupid - Bennetts team wins a single game and all of a sudden the only reason they won is because of Bennett. He kicked the balls, he made the tackles, he scored the tries. Then when they lose the next week - or in this case pretty much every other week this entire season, Bennetts not the one missing the tackles or bombing the tries, the loss had nothing to do with him and is no reflection on him. They want to eat their cake and have it too. If they win its because of Bennett, if they lose its because of the players.
FFS they had 1 win while sitting 14th on the ladder and the Bennett supporters are gloating! Do you see how ridiculous that I. The broncos are higher on the ladder, have been all season, yet somehow this win means Bennett is the best?
Its like arguing with religious zealots.
So giving up your morals and ethics is ok if you win, is that what you're saying?
I seriously fail to see how our ethics and morals are even being questioned. We did nothing. We are just happy with the fact that he will no longer be fucking up our club.
i really dont understan why you lot seem to think bennett will clean out the rubbish from our squad?
He kept players like carlaw, meyers and stu fucking kelly around WAYYYYY longer than he should have while at the broncos, while in his team at the knights he has left boyd at fullback when he was in the worst form i have ever seen a player in (first half of year) while he had players in the reserves team killing it. Have a long think about what you are expecting. A guy that has a history of NOT culling crap from teams is not going to just change his way when he gets here.
Also dont know why you think he will start playing people in their right positions all the time
This is a guy that ran with stagg in the centres, stagg in the halves, carroll in the halves just to name a few.
He also will probably bring his own fitness and conditioning staff.
That doesn't mean Wayne won't bring his own blokes. I've seen talk he might get Dean Benton back.Not necessary, we have the best in the business.
