MELTDOWN Wayne Bennett - Moves to Souths

[broncsgoat]

Man I've seen some serious journalist bashing on here.

Turns out it was all true.

So how does that feel. You know who you are.

They’re still all **** wits

Would be intersting to see who leaked this email from Seibold..?
Smart play on Seibold and his mangers side, and also may work out well for the Broncos if they’re now able to terminate due to a breach of contract.

Absolutely disgusted with the Brisbane Broncos right now. I have been a supporter for over 20 years and never once have I not been proud of us as a club and team, until today. We have succumb to media pressure like simple weak minded fools. Sacking Wayne Bennett is a decision that many fans won't like. I'm all for planning for the future but Wayne built the Broncos and deserved to see out his contract. This is not the way you send off the greatest coach of all time. This is a sad and dark day in Brisbane Bronco history.

Wayne is not the club. He’s just a growth that started turning into cancer.

Are you serious! How much of this did Wayne bring on himself, ask yourself that!

I'm glad Seibs has taken a back seat to all of this whole sorry saga and only spoken out at the 11th hour when he felt compelled to do so. He has never been caught up in the will he won't he storyline. Benny however, like his tired old on field tactics has finally succumbed to the drama of the NRL and the media will have a field day. In fact they will dine on this all next season.

At least we're garunteed to have League news dominate all other sports for headlines.

 

[Dash]

Yeah that’s how I read it. I didn’t even notice until Smith pointed it out.

It does say a fair bit. Sam got articles dedicated to him and a video montage of his off field stuff while Bennett gets 19 words..

Yep, we went from a year long farewell tour and celebration of Wayne's career to k thanks bye very quickly.

 

[holdzy]

Can’t wait for Wayne’s next book!

I respect everyone's opinion that is different to mine but I'll just say this - I can guarantee most of us wouldn't even be supportering the Broncos if it wasn't for the success Wayne Bennett built.

Completely and comprehensively disagree with this. WB had the chance to have it end that way but chose a different path.

Yeah “All About Wayne” is a striking title...

Wayne deserves credit for making the broncos competitive again, finals regulars again, and it’s a shame his final game was a dragons thrashing, but the summation of his last stint will be disappointing finals losses. Nothing can take away his broncos legacy though, even this sorry saga.

 

[Accept]

If I ever get cancer (touch wood that I don't), I hope it is made up of six titles and a .640 winning pctg in the last four years. He brought a grace and eloquence to this club and a brilliant football brain that will never be rivalled. And now we have some guy named Seibs, a pot bellied bogan type dude who has as much grace as a Logan strip club. A very sad day.

Good point. Yeah, nothing can take away what Wayne Bennett means to our club. I still can't believe they've sacked him like this, shown him the door.

The amount of pressure on Seibold now is incredible.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Round 8, 2019 just got a whole lot spicier.

 

[pagey]

Bennett was never returning until tomorrow, if he's fired this arvo there'll be virtually zero disruption, maybe factor in 1 week down time for Seibold & the staff he's bringing with him to get settled up here.

The proper pre-season doesn't start until post-Christmas anyway.

Zero disruption?? Jd has been running things, a complete overhaul will happen. Doubt we'll make the 8

 

[Morepudding]

Yeah you need to feel for Seibold through all this. Bennett has been on $1m+ a year for over a decade, and has been one of the best paid coaches for the past 20 years. He is very safe financially yet it was him who was trying to con the Broncos out of money to get a double pay packet. Seibold has been an a teacher, an assistant and one year as a head coach on what one would assume was not a huge salary. He has had to figure out living situations with a young family which wouldn't be easy.

From the get go he basically said he was happy to do whatever. He said he was happy to coach us, and was happy to coach them and that he would leave it to the clubs to decide. From reports, it appears publicly Bennett was always saying he was staying, but behind the scenes said other things to other players and clubs.

I'm glad this is over, and I hope Seibold and his family can settle back in to Queensland nicely before the start of the school year in 2019.

For $900k a year for the next four years I'm sure he'll manage.
