Is this a scare tactic the anti-Bennett mob are going to use?

I swear I will never be on his bandwagon. Loyalty is number 1 in my book. I guess I have more morals then others. Id rather lose and be proud then win and be a hypocritical money taking tool And where the fk else can Hoffman go when Gee and other Muppets buy Barba? Not Hooks fault. I stand by what I said. #FuckWayne #Broncos4Life

Wayne Bennett is the Broncos.

Daniel Stanton is all about loyalty. He's probably still angry about they got rid of Peter Wallace.

You're not successful because you are bitter. For all you know Bennett may have been given a deadline by Murdoch or simply returned Murdochs call. Try and understand that not everything you read is true, in fact less than 50% of what is written is true. You wanted it out in the open when adults deciding their future do so behind closed doors because it's their fucking private affairs. If it were cloak and dagger stuff we wouldn't know about it, that's the point of clandestine events, secrecy. How the hell would you know Bennett has lost his integrity and morals, you don't know the man.

I rarely agree with you AP (great for good debate, hey) but on this I do.
For mine, the Broncos have spent years and years trapped in the boring Bennetball legacy which was then inherited and morphed into Griffinball Mark 1 which we have seen too often this year.
At the same time, where are we on the ladder? How many times have we been thrashed this year?
I have been one of Hook's greatest critics however I for one was prepared to give him a chance - as I posted before - for this season. The positional switch last game and the changes that wrought made me optimistic for a finals berth.
I am still hoping to see Barba live up to his hype in the halves and am now hoping that there will be minimal psychological damage to the team with this news of Bennett returning.
Personally, I hope Barba tears it up in the halves and we make the final 4 which for mine, is on the cards.
Nevertheless, Hook still ought to be kicked up the arse (he's already been sacked) if he plays Reed at left centre - stupidity in the face of what this side can do with a true strike centre despite his shortcomings, mainly ball security.
I am also disgusted at how this signing came about, particularly its timing. Last week, I believe there was a media piece on how the team was solidly behind Hook (or was that all just BS, a media beat up by the club or whoever?).
In truth, I wouldn't be surprised if this team falls apart given this news. I hope it doesn't, and it isn't just about playing for the coach, it's about playing for each other, for the proud Broncos tradition, and for the fans.

This is a momentous day in the history of the Broncos, our messiah is coming back home, where he belongs. IMO, he should never of left but that's an entirely different argument.
Look, how anyone can be unhappy at Wayne coming back to us is beyond me. The man made us. He built our culture which we have happened to lose since he departed, no one can deny that. We just don't have that aura anymore where other teams fear us, and we certainly don't seem to entice the top players to come and play for us. This all used to happen under Bennett's watch, will that all magically happen again? I have faith it will. Truth is, Griffin is a good coach, he is definitely better than most in the NRL, but the fact is we are under performing. We have a great squad, yes we can tweak it here & there but we should definitely be firmly entrenched in the top 4, this is not the case. The past 3 seasons have been below ordinary. This is a results driven business, and Griffin hasn't gotten us to where we need to be, it's that simple. I feel for him, I like the guy, he always has his emotions in check, his temperament is cool, calm and level headed and you can see that the players like him, but can he get the best out of this squad? No he can't. He hasn't been able to for the past 3 seasons. How many more years of mediocrity would we like to see until we God forbid end up like Cronulla?
Bringing Bennett back is the absolute perfect move. Alot of people say Wayne is past his use by date, he's lost the feel for the game etc. All this rubbish. Maybe that's true, maybe it isn't, but what he does bring is an aura with him, he brings experience, he brings cohesion and what he is best at doing is getting the best out of each and every player. I have no doubt about that. He will get this squad where we should be and that is firmly in the top 4, year in, year out, being premiership contenders every season. Tactically, the players know the set plays and know what they need to do to score tries, they know what they need to do to stop tries, but they aren't mentally up to do that like the other top 4 teams. Bennett will instil a supreme confidence in them to believe in themselves completely. He will bring alot of positives, and if people can't see that they must be blind, or crazy.
It's sad that we hooked 'Hook' but he has been given 4 seasons to get us where we need to go, and has failed. Bennett has to be held accountable too though, if within his 3 seasons we have under performed, he must go too. But Bennett coming back is all about setting us up within 3-5 years to be the club we once were - the powerhouse we once were. I for one am extremely happy about him coming home and cannot bloody wait!
Thanks for all your efforts Hook, and let's celebrate this day!
WELCOME HOME WB!

I don't know. There's this pretty cool position that some people play. Some of the greatest Broncos have played there too. What's it called? The ping, hing? Oh thats right, the wing.

Well I guess that would further reinforce the decision to replace Hook and bring in Bennett who's bound to fire a rocket up some of the players.
I mean, if they can't even play for their dearly-beloved-and-soon-to-be-departed-mentor, then clearly a shake up is required.

You would rather lose and be proud than win?
Well that is the attitude of a loser, my friend.
Morals have no place in business, they are mere cold comfort for when others are taken over by winners.
Nobody cares about your morals if you're a winner, there are umpteen examples of this in not only the business, but also sporting world.

LOL....
C'mon mate.........be happy for the club, give it a chance. On the bright side, if he fails you can bask in the sunshine of a massive told you so. Get together with Kaz and party hard about how correct you were......we should have listened to you, all that jazz etc etc..then you'll be happy.

I'll give Daniel Stanton a B- on the trolling. Was a pretty good effect but in confident that if you really put ur mind to it u can do much better next time.
