Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2344089, member: 1808"] Meninga wasn't an icon from a coaching perspective that attracted players to the Raiders during his time there(hell even Hasler attracted more during his first few seasons in the NRL of note) and as the Raiders and previous coaches of theirs have shown in the past they can still achieve things with an average roster he showed no real evidence that he was upto the task of coaching an NRL side fulltime which is a far different and more difficult task then coaching for a few weeks of the season, especially when you have the balance of talent available at your disposal at that level in your favour, quite frankly I'm not convinced his upto the task of coaching an NRL side on a fulltime basis and his not even shown as much as an interest in doing so again.. As for Henjak I think you like a lot of Broncos fans are being far too harsh for a rookie coach entering a position to replace a coach of the calibre of Wayne Bennett at the Broncos. Bennett was given the resources and more importantly the time(Bennett himself didn't take the Broncos to the finals until 3 seasons in with a roster that Henjak certainly doesn't have at his disposal and didn't expect premiership results until roughly 5 years in, hell didn't the fans want Bennett gone for not getting the instant results expected as well as player dramas such as with Lewis, what if the club based their decisionmaking solely on that where would we have gone then?) to achieve his goals but during that time of getting there his seasons at the helm were patchy at best too considering what he had to work with from a player roster perspective. As for player retainment the club was already in a mess with Bennett there before Henjak took over the reins, the process of cleaning out the player squad was in motion because of Salary cap restraints, so regardless of the coach who entered the position the club was in that position and would continue to be so for coming seasons.
