Message: [QUOTE="bianc, post: 2107339, member: 2048"] Without Bennett as our coach we would never have made the 8 last year with the players we had left to send on the paddock.The man has a special skill with players & people( barring the media) Bennett has made many great players.Renouf being one of many that Bennett worked on and never gave up on. Hodges and bringing him back from the Roosters and giving him the confidence that he needed.The list is long and for anyone to say that he is not the greatest coach around is ludicrous. Bellamy may be taking that mantle now but remember who Bellamy was taught by. Bennett was the man who bought Walters and most importantly Lazzo up to come into our team knowing what they would bring to the team. He has been the one who has made the hard choices and sacked his entire coaching staff and replaced them only to prove it to be a success.Not to mention letting Wally and many others over the years go for the better of the team and bringing through lesser known players.Tough calls that payed off. For those who say we could have won GF's without Wayne Bennett at the helm because of the players we had I disagree.Had those players been handled differantly they may have been a nothing team.He was the coach who had the players gell.He made the teams what they were through his knowledge and his people skills with the players .He made the Broncs a family. As for the comments by Broncospwn on Wayne not talking to the players after the game on Sunday.You may find he has never done this until the next day.Players have often talked of it and said it made them wait until the next training run to think about it and then Bennett says in his own way what he thought of them and where the errors lie.He doesn't go abusing& yelling at them in the sheds as many coaches do immediately following a game. Usaully he doesn't speak to them much about the game before they run on except to say go out and enjoy your game. I really don't know how much say WB has now in who we let go and who stays this year as it is his final year.I believe it is Bruno. I think also many are forgetting when Bennett had the kiwi side this year Henjak was the coach and he was queried by many as to the selection and position that some of our boys played in. I fear our club will go backwards as from next year and I do believe it will be because of no Wayne Bennett and one Bruno Cullen at the helm. Fans will always disagree on coaches selections.That is why we are the fans and they are the coach.It is very easy from the sideline to judge. [/QUOTE]
