I agree that Kemp was completely dudded by the Broncos when we signe Issy. However instead of sucking it up and proving to the club and the rest of the NRL that we made a massive mistake, his attitude has been extraordinarily poor since then. I can understand that during his time at the...
Maybe he did see if Canberra were interested and they said "actually Furner is contracted and we aren't prepared to consider breaking that, thanks"
Plus my comment wasn't just directed at the discussion on here, but pretty much every article I read anywhere has people saying "oh this club or...
The arguement about Canberra, the Sharks or any other team being a greater challenge really is a moot point. Fact is Brisbane, Souths, Newcastle and Dragons were the only clubs that tabled offers or entered into discussions with Bennett. Pretty difficult for him to choose a club that didn't...
I would rather we just stick without our current roster and let them develop rather than buying more players - unless there is a really really decent 5/8 on the market and TBH there actually aren't that many really really decent 5/8s in the game currently, let alone on the market.
In AP's defence (I seem to be doing a bit of that lately) he hasn't changed his tune on Gidley - his post here doesn't say he rates Gidley. Oxy asked someone to list Newcastle's rep players an AP did that - without comment, just stating his is a NSW, Aust and Bennett-chosen All Stars rep.
Re: Bennett not to return
I actually don't think Bennett will ever be back on the Broncos payroll. IMO when he decides to step away from hands-on full time head coaching, the NRL (independant commission) will create a role for him to nurture/develop other coaches and setting up nation-wide...
Yep - we've always had our best success when we've used our "home-grown" talent and only signed someone from elsewhere if they really were a proven game-winner/star
Re: Bennett not to return
Here! Here! Oxy and Schmix.
Bennett is the same towards the media whether they are dumping on him or praising him. People seem to forget that Bennett doesn't write the stories and a lot of the time "journalists" just make stuff up to sell papers.
Agree with...
Re: Bennett not to return
If you are intimating he might be coaching another Brisbane-based team - well the Broncos are currently the only team in Brisbane and even if approved a second team won't start until 2018 (I think that is the date for expansion but I could be wrong) and he has also...
Re: Bennett not to return
Ummmm - he's never been in Sydney. He's been living in Woolloongong these past 3 years and that is definitely different from Sydney and a seriously laid back place [icon_razz1
