Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3291101, member: 1769"] There has been some talk of Wayne Bennett's comments today, so I thought I'd post them here instead of clogging up other threads. I may be accused of bias here, but given some of the decisions Bennett himself has had a hand in over the last decade or so, these comments seem a bit hypocritical [B]Wayne Bennett Says:[/B] “Management of clubs has a huge result on performances at the moment. Clubs have got to take a hell of a lot more responsibility than they are taking for the way the game is being played. It’s as simple as that,” “I’m not going to name names and not going to name clubs but if you look at some of the decisions they’ve made, some of the things that have happened to players... I wouldn’t want to be at that club and I know if I was in that club I wouldn’t be playing very well. “Clubs and their management and things that are happening at clubs are absolutely adding to the scoreboards.” “I listen to you guys… you keep blaming the players. You’re so off the mark it doesn’t matter. You’re not in clubland, you don’t understand how it works,” he said. “Until the club itself gets their management in order, their whole ship, the club, the players will not be able to respond. But you keep blaming the players. “You’re saying ‘they get paid so they should go out there and play.’ Not one of you guys go to a toxic environment to work and do your best work. “You’re professional in your roles as journalists, it doesn’t happen for you. It’s no different in a football team. “But the easy blame is to put the blame on the player because he’s not playing well, or the team’s not playing well. You’ve got to look deeper than that guys, because that’s where the problem is. “It’s not the rules, rules may be part of it, you just look at some of the transfer and movement of players within clubs, in the last month even. It’s pretty ordinary stuff.” [/QUOTE]
