MELTDOWN Wayne Bennett - Moves to Souths

[Battler]

Wayne is going to have to have some Cowboys like luck to do well with Souths next season if you believe that leaked email. If he plays GI at the back it will be a Christmas miracle if he lasts 10 rounds, let alone the entire season.

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.

Wayne is about as gracious as a featherless swan taking a dump.

Mmmmm, I thought I was pretty consistent throughout in saying 'wait and see' and 'maybe don't buy in to the hype'. I just would like to see the posters who stated without equivocation that WB was gone, he'd be gone before Christmas, it's a done deal, he won't be here in 2019, good riddance you old ****, can't wait till he's gone, I know the future and what everyone's motivations are and I know exactly what everyone's thinking, perhaps put their hands up and say, I got that wrong.

Not much to ask, is it?

Did we?

 

[Battler]

Then gone in 2020 ha ha !

At least Seibold has a chance to coach them and maybe get them on board. If they intended to leave with Wayne at the end of 2019 then they were 100% gone anyway.

 

[The Strapper]

A couple of things come to mind here.

1. Given O'sullivan came across because he thought Bennett would be the coach will the club offer him a release if he wants it? (He may not want it but I think he should be given the option)

2. Whether this is the right move or not for the club will be very simple to work out, it just needs some time.
Siebold is now on a 5 year deal. Bennetts record for the previous 4 years with the Broncos is:

2015 Grand Finalists
2016 Finals Week 2
2017 Finals Week 3
2018 Finals Week 1

By any measure this has to be the bench mark Siebold should to be measured against in the coming seasons. Naturally if he can deliver a premiership at any time in the next 4 years that will mean he has surpassed the bench mark but as ever time will tell but it may need a few seasons to be clear.

Conversely should we miss the top eight in any season his position should become very tenuous.

I think we should all watch with interest.

Who are you supporting next year?

Whoever the **** I like.

 

[Fozz]

Pretty disappointed with all sides here TBH. Both boards and WB really fucked this whole situation up.

 

[Jedhead]

What are you basing your confidence off? Seibold has only coached in the NRL for one season and did really well.

I'm not saying he won't continue his success from Souths but we all better hope he isn't the next Griffin and Henjak.

His first year at Souths. His willingness to adopt new techniques proved invaluable and within one season he had turned an otherwise floundering club back into potential champions. I have to say Souths looked far stronger than the Broncs come semi time. I also think that Cooks' rise to prominence in 2018 had a lot to do with Seibs coaching. How Souths were coached to play off their fast moving hooker was quite obvious. After watching a number of video interviews as well I'm more than confident he has the smarts and the wherewithal to thrive as our new coach. Welcome back to the Broncos Anthony, I wish you all the success possible during your stay as our new coach (Hope you packed your BBQ).

Looks like the sentiments on the Broncos Facebook page are pretty much anti Broncos management. There are some ill informed and ignorant people on there making comments and one or two disgusting comments about Seibold and his family.

Souths were definitely playing better football then us during the finals. The way we lost to the Dragons was disgraceful actually. I don't care who's coach, performances like that are simply unacceptable.

I just hope the players buy into what Seibold brings. It's well known the Broncos players love Wayne so I just hope they aren't bitter about Wayne's sacking and accept Seibold and we all move in the one direction. If the players don't buy into Seibolds way, it won't matter, nothing will matter and we won't even make the 8.

Sounds a lot like this joint. Its mostly a Bennett Circle jerk with the sprinkling of reality.

 

[Foordy]

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

Then you don't have any faith in our players

It is FB so to be expected unfortunately in regard to comments about Seibs and family. A lot of mouth breathers hang put on Broncs FB page.

Huge, where art thou emotional woman? Still on Wikipedia editing the meaning of untenable, pretty sure you will find a picture of WB there ;)

Wheres the leaked email? i cant find the article

 

[Foordy]

All I'm saying is, many people on here seem to despise and hate Wayne for whatever reason when we should simply respect the man who made us what we are. We should be grateful for the success he's given us and now, we move on a year sooner.

The majority have nothing but respect for Wayne for what he has helped build and what he has done in the past ...

But, Wayne Bennett is in a results orientated business... He can't keep living on his past results. Wayne has been around long enough to know this.

 

[M.B.88]

What absolute amateur hour.

Disgraceful way to sack him. The club better actually communicate their reasons because so far, this has proven they've been nothing but fucking liars the whole way through.

Also if Seibold is the person who leaked the email to ensure he gets sacked, I've lost a lot of respect for him already. He better know how to fucking coach and not be a dud, because he's essentially got the man who built this club sacked and is walking into a 5 year big money contract. The pressure is fucking on him, and anything less than a premiership in the next 2-3 years, with very obvious signs of improvement will be a huge let down.

About to happen right now

 

[Morepudding]

So White has come out and said exactly what the Media said. He bamboozled us and lied and then backflipped. So glad he got sacked.
