Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3292695, member: 1899"] As I said that's their side of the story and the ongoing narrative they've been peddling since Bennett joined Newcastle. If you ask the majority of Dragons fans what they think of Bennett the vast majority would be happy with him. There is a sentiment that he could have managed junior development better and annoited a better assistant coach than Steve Price but otherwise they were sick of constantly building and just wanted a premiership, they had been waiting since '76. Then just about everything that could go wrong did at Newcastle. Going in the perception was that Wayne would sprinkle the magic dust and deliver another premiership. However Newcastle was a different animal and I don't think Wayne got a clear picture until 2013, at which point things went belly-up for Tinkler and the whole situation became a farce. I can understand the bitterness from Newcastle supporters because if Wayne cared about the club, he would have stuck around and honoured the final year of his deal and helped them get through that difficult period. However he had a clause, he took it and as he said 'sacked himself.' Personally I think there's some valid criticism but when you're coaching you're never going to get it right 100% of the time. Especially when he cops the blame for things he didn't do (Pangai signed that deal when Seibs was the coach). [/QUOTE]
