Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 3637953, member: 2065"] Really disagree about Bellamy being the best coach. He has not coached at international level, Bennett has had success at international level. His record at State of Origin level is woeful. Bennett whilst a mixed bag, overall you would have to say he was successful as a State of Origin coach. His club success has only come at the one club, Melbourne. In my opinion, his record will always be tainted by the fact that several of the GF's Melbourne made and those they won were achieved with a squad that was created by deliberate cheating of the salary cap. They continued to benefit from that cheating in the years that followed. Melbourne continue to be successful because of the systems he has put in place and stuck to. It is noteworthy that since Cooper Cronk left at the end of 2017, Melbourne have made 2 GF's losing one. Since Billy retired at the end of 2018, 5 years, they have made one GF. Since Cameron retired they have not made a GF. By comparison, Bennett has taken 4 different clubs to GF's, and won at 2 of them. It very easily could have been 3. Would Bellamy's success transfer readily to another club without the systems he has built up over many years. His Origin record says that the answer is likely no. It would take quite some time. Bennett has a knack of quickly turning clubs around. Bennett is the best coach of the modern era by some distance in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
