Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3147492, member: 8215"] Yep, and the only reason he was white-anted was because people like Morris wanted to justify his position by making a power play. They can say what they want but it would appear they were jealous and felt threatened that their subordinate (Bennett) held such influence. I had little issue with Bennett holding such sway with the playing group. At the very least he should have been able to coach his final year, and i would have been happy with him coaching 2020 before moving to a coaching director's role. He knew the importance of the balance of having enough senior, battle-hardened players to balance out youth. He did it with players like Jeremy Smith at the Dragons and Knights and did the same with Blair with us. Those calling for the older players to be shuffled on and replaced with Shiny Young Talent are now seeing exactly what happens with a team with great talent but little experience or fortitude. Of the candidates, Seibold was my pick, slightly ahead of Maguire, which just shows how I too was suckered by media reports and hype, but then I wasn't being paid bulk money by a wealthy organisation to do due diligence.
