Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2961644, member: 8215"] Because then you end up with the Bellaby saga. Had that played out behind closed doors, him re-signing with Melbourne would have been a non-event for the Broncos. Clubs have negotiations like this that go on behind the scenes all the time, clubs miss out on a coach all the time. Or tentatively sound out a coach or whatever, because doing so is being on the front foot and is good business. Right now, the media is trying to push us back to that same situation. Where even if the board comes out and says that no decision has been made at all, if Bennett somehow does end up finishing up after 2019, we'll be made to sound like we had that intention all along and were lying to the public. Or if he stays on, the media will say that public pressure resulted in him being re-signed and that Bennett should feel really aggrieved in not only being treated that way, but allowing the club to have it played out through the media. It's a lose-lose regardless. The media want us to come out and say something. Hopefully the club has learned that feeding the vultures is a bad idea even at the best of times, and stay silent until a decision has been made. At the moment, that seems to be what they are doing, ie, waiting until the end of the season to begin the process. [/QUOTE]
