Wayne Bennett confirmed as 2015 coach of Brisbane Broncos

[Allo]

Is there any news filtering out on Stephen Kearney's position in the club?

Personally, he should have been punted before Griffin and now that he hasn't, I'm a bit worried Bennett will keep him around too.

Didn't Bennett and Kearney work together in winning the Kiwis the 4 nations a few years back?

That's not good.

2008 World Cup. Which has me worried he won't get cut along with Hook. I hope Corvo stays. Purely for the fact that he's only been with us for one half-pre-season and one full season. While Benton has been Bennett's go-to man, and thus rumoured to come with, I think's it a bit rough to get rid of Corvo already

I thought when you signed Bennett you also gave him licence to bring along his entourage ??

"I think's it a bit rough to get rid of Corvo already"

His mandate was to make sure we finish games stronger and fitter than the opposition. How's that working out? How many preseasons does he need to get it right?

Look how fit he's got Reed or Hannant or Barba.

Ok, I know he was told to beef Barba up, but that doesn't mean fatten him up and lose all his speed.

Ok, I know Barba had an injury 6000 years ago and will never be as fast, but that doesn't mean he has to be as slow as Alex Glenn.

Oh and lol at someone saying if we had Bennett we get inglis and that would mean we wouldve won in 2011. Without lockyer we were never going to win, Inglis or no Inglis. I think if lockyer didn't go down we wouldve just sacked a premiership winning coach.

Pretty sure Kevy said this week Bennett does very little if any video, he is just a man manager and does not know how to turn on a computer

Perhaps I should apply for that job..

 

[Cult]

But who questioned anyone other than Bennetts ethics? I sure didn't.

And I'm sorry I'm too ethically bound for you, and wanting my club to be the same. It certainly must be bliss to have little or no conscience. :takdir:

 

[vertigo]

So Corvo is a myth after being the Kangaroos & Storm performance coach for years?

Righto, show him the door.

@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.

Which is any different to if we struggle for a few games next season the end of world brigade come out all guns blazing? Seriously it goes both ways here so lets cut the crap.

Both also benefited with a roster of players Bennett blooded, hell Griffin's only season you could say was a success was largely off the back of a player Bennett blooded back in the mid 90's, but hey Bennett would be the only one to benefit right?

I'd rather win premierships than keep missing the 8, and, still be deluded that I had something as meaningless as "ethics".

Regardless, Hook playing Reed the week after he breaks protocol shows how much spine and ethics that clown has.

Don't believe that for a second.

See that guy that sits to Benny's left in the box every week at every club he's been to- that's his video analysis man.

You do, they're his staff too. Employed by him.

Hickmans etc will be back.

 

[1910]

That doesn't mean Wayne won't bring his own blokes. I've seen talk he might get Dean Benton back.

Dean isn't with anyone now, finished up with the Brumbies 12 months ago. Lives in Melbourne.

And Bennett kept playing Boyd after all the off field drama he as been involved in over the years.

Yes Boyd has been in trouble for drinking etc.

Could we see some proof?

He's actually with the Japanese 7's side.

Wow, Machiavelli has joined the Forum!

One thing I was thinking of today is the captaincy. Is Bennett a fan of co-captains, I wonder. I can't stand it, personally. Will he continue with Parker and Hodges in the role? Will be interesting to see.
