Message: [QUOTE="mrslong, post: 2199884, member: 1973"] Has anyone else noticed that when certain teams with new coaches are commented whether that be by the commentators, media or fans that there is a certain double standard on appraising how one coach or another is going. For example, Wayne Bennett has just taken over from Nathan Brown at the Dragons, the team is off to a flyer and the basic word around town is that Wayne Bennett has saved the club and the turn around is all his doing, in spite of Nathan Brown. On the other hand, you have a club like the Broncos (for example) that has a new coach in Ivan Henjak and they are off to a flyer too, however certain reports would have you believe that this could very well be a hang over from the Wayne Bennett era. I'm not saying Henjak isn't getting any credit, of course he is, but it's still out there...the fact that we'll know his true fruits in a few years once the WB factor is out of the way. So why isn't this the same for Nathan Brown & the Dragons? Obviously I can see that Wayne Bennett would have a greater impact, but it just annoys me a bit that these double standards are out there..... [icon_shru [/QUOTE]
