Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2865033, member: 1899"] Wanted to retire after 2002 due to his serious neck injury but Bennett coaxed him into two more seasons. Then inexplicably in Gordie's last match, Bennett waited until after the team list had already been finalised to say he was actually starting off the bench. Brisbane had to scramble and make up some 'stomach bug' excuse to get away with the move. When he retired, Bennett wanted little to do with him and they've been trading barbs ever since. Gordie goes into detail in "Bennett's Broncos", Wayne also tells his side of the story in his second book. Bennett had a deal in place with the Cowboys, all that needed to happen was for the board to give the all clear which seemed likely. Gordie was a member of the Cowboys board at the time and suddenly things went really cold. He also had a rant about how Gordie should have remained a bench player, which was a bug bear of Gordie's.
