I feel like this has been repeated again and again and again on here to the same people. He hasnt signed yet because of manager issues. What has changed? He has known bennett wasnt going to be the coach in 2020 for about a month, or more if you include the broncos initial knock back of bennetts plan. Since then he has mocked a journalist for talking about him signing for another club, he has went on channel 7 news saying he is commited to the broncos, he has knocked back a huge offer from the knights, and he has stated he is grateful to bennett but is loyal to the broncos...

I get the anxiety about him signing, ive got it too and have fallen into the trap too- i just want him to sign already also, but this constant “hes gone” every time he doesnt deny it is over the top. Lets just wait and see...

Some people here are adamant Bennett won’t even coach us in 2019. And there’s a really good chance tpj won’t sign with us at all if this is true.
 
Any more whispers mate about our guy? You and Joe have been a bit quiet on the scoops front lately..guess we will all be a bit wiser come next Tuesday.

Come on I corrected Wally and told you Kevvie had already had his interview! That’s high treason.

Lol, that you did mate, can't deny it. Even the King gets it wrong from time to time!

ON WEDNESDAY night, Wests Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe returned from an overseas business trip which is expected to expedite Ivan Cleary’s immediate release to Penrith.
The NRL’s complicated coaching merry-go-round could be finalised within five days as four clubs potentially name new coaches.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal:
• ⁠Pascoe returned from the US to reignite his chase for a new coach;
• ⁠Penrith privately hope Cleary could be free to join the club as early as Friday;
• ⁠Brisbane are expected to name their coach for the 2020 season by Tuesday; and
• ⁠South Sydney coach Anthony Seibold will return from a development trip to the UK next week.
Pascoe continues to pursue Wayne Bennett as the club’s first choice with current New Zealand Test coach Michael Maguire another strong candidate.
It is unknown whether Pascoe has formally offered a contract to Bennett, who appears determined to complete his final season at Brisbane, despite that possibly affecting his chances of finding another club in 2020.
Despite Cleary still being contracted at the Tigers, The Daily Telegraph understands Pascoe is chasing a coach for next season — not 2020.
Cleary has already agreed to a deal at Penrith for three seasons from 2021 and, if a compensation package can be reached with the Tigers, could get their man two years early.
In the mean time, Penrith are prepared to put their faith in caretaker coach Cameron Ciraldo, who is already preparing for his squad’s return to training on November 12.
Bennett has told friends he would prefer to join a club with deep resources like South Sydney, but could see out his Brisbane deal before offering himself to Parramatta or St George Illawarra when Brad Arthur and Paul McGregor come off contract.
Seibold, Maguire and Queensland coach Kevin Walters are candidates for the Broncos job when Bennett leaves.
Walters was interviewed last Tuesday but is believed to be the outsider for the position, which could be announced after this Tuesday’s Broncos board meeting.
Seibold, still under contract at Redfern next season, remains favourite for the Red Hill position as he holds off on a contract extension at South Sydney.
The question remains whether Souths would keep Seibold next season if he committed to Brisbane in 2020.
Should Seibold leave, Bennett and Melbourne assistant coach Adam O’Brien have been mentioned.

O'Brien has gone to the Roosters.

**** yeah! Looks like we got our man boys. Was hoping for Madge, but excited at the same time to see what Seibs can bring to the table next year. Highly regarded, did amazing in his first year at Souths and is gonna be a breath of fresh air around Red Hill in my opinion.

Bring on 2019!

I wouldn't have told the Rabbitohs shit until I had the Broncos job.

Preferred candidate is not the same as having the job. If for some reason he doesn't get it, he may have also burnt his bridges at Souths

He wouldn't have, this is already done. He would have been offered and accepted the job at the Broncos, this is trying to put things delicately to the Rabbitohs.
