Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3623669, member: 1769"] It's interesting the difference in reporting between the CM and SMH on the Wayne to Souths topic. the SMH have posted an article claiming that Wayne has agreed to return to Souths on a 3 year $3 million deal. with no quotes. the Courier Mail posted the headline "‘Look at what happened with Fifita’: Wayne’s warning to Souths". and have quoted Bennett. [B]Bennett said:[/B] “As it stands, I haven’t agreed to terms. I haven’t signed anything,” Bennett said. “I have met with Souths, we had some preliminary talks and we agreed to come back next Monday after Magic Round is over and finalise it. “One way or the other, we will finalise things after this weekend. “Either I will be going to Souths _ or I won’t be going.” [B][I]Asked if he had agreed terms to coach Souths until the end of 2027, Bennett said: “Right now, I haven’t agreed on anything.[/I][/B] “There’s been no handshakes. I haven’t signed any paperwork. I haven’t committed to any contract. “There’s still things to be discussed. “Look at what happened with David Fifita (Titans forward). People said he was done at the Roosters, but he is not going to the Roosters is he? “South Sydney are up here for Magic Round so they will stay back a day or two and we’ll meet again. “I’m not going anywhere until I sign a contract.” “Look, I would like to get something done, but I want to see what state the club is in and get some information about them before I finalise any contract,” he said. “I won’t be wasting anyone’s time, I’m interested in the job, no doubt about that. “I don’t have a club next year and we need to get on with our lives here. The Dolphins need to know what I’m doing, I recognise that and Souths are after a coach, but it’s only been a few weeks since Jason Demetriou left.” [B][I]Bennett has also been linked with the Eels, but he said:[/I][/B] “I know nothing about Parramatta, I haven’t heard from them.” [B]South Sydney boss Blake Solly said:[/B] “There’s no deal done at this stage,” “I am meeting Wayne this week and our preference is to sign Wayne, but nothing further has happened.” [/QUOTE]
