Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 3328322, member: 9424"] I don’t underestimate the pull he [B][U]had[/U][/B] and certainly agree that plenty of players [U][B]have[/B][/U] signed purely for Bennett in the past, but a lot has changed over the years. Now there is the lure of playing under Bellamy / at the super successful Storm, or Robinson at the Roosters. Even Penrith are forming quite an appealing destination if success is what you are after. For the first few years at least, which will also most likely coincide with Bennett retiring; at best Redcliffe will be like the early Broncos. They won’t have premiership history to lure players. They will be trying to forge their own identity and build some success. Honestly, if I’m a player in and around NRL teams right now, I’m not sure I would relocate my life just to play under Bennett for maybe a couple of years at a startup club. All things being equal, there are more appealing propositions, at least in my opinion. If you asked me the same question about the 90’s and early 00’s Broncos though, for sure I would. They had the best coach in the ARL / NRL, a lot of the best players and the most success. [/QUOTE]
