Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3038898, member: 8423"] Yes and that really is the big criticism of Bennett in my opinion. Bennett should get praise for all the young guns signed on, they look phenomenal and Bennett drove that. People need to give him credit for such an excellent job in identifying talent. Signing up Bird though was an error. Even without the injuries, he just wasn’t the right fit for the halves if that what he was signed on for. Bird is a right centre or fullback, two positions already filled at the time by high salaried players. That money could have been used to sign a Pearce or a Taylor (even though seem to have dodged a bullet here). Signing Gillett and Boyd to big money, long-term deals after some serious injuries or at their age was silly. Macca should also never have been given four years. That said, Haas in six years was a master stroke. Hence between all the praise and criticism of Bennett, the truth is most definitely somewhere in between. [/QUOTE]
