Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2943419, member: 8290"] 1 more thing that needs to be said, Bellamy & Bennett are incredibly intelligent businessmen, before anything else. I think the [I]most likely[/I] way this plays out is this - Bellamy signs a 4 year - $5.6m deal with the Broncos starting in 2020 (with a clause indicating that if Bennett decides to request a release that it becomes a 5 year - $7m deal starting in 2019) Bennett requests a release from his contract at the end of the 2018 season to sign with a rival NRL club on a long-term deal. This makes the most sense for both men, Bellamy either gets a year off, or gets an extra year of that [I]very[/I] handsome salary. The reasoning behind Bennett requesting a release is simple, he'll know that he has no long-term future at the club, and he feels that he's still capable of coaching an NRL team for the foreseeable future. He won't wait until the end of 2019 to make that call because he knows he gains absolutely nothing out of waiting and stands to lose a whole lot more. (Whether that be through opportunities at other clubs dissipating, or the Broncos under-performing even more in 2019 and making him look a lot less appealing as an ageing coach on a long-term deal off the back of 2 mediocre seasons.)
