Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3347762, member: 8814"] Tinkler had a lot to do with it, for sure. Rot starts at the top. But it's obvious Bennett had more control of that side and roster then just about every other coach in the nrl had of theirs. He wants success while he is there and that's fair enough. But clubs need to protect themselves against the inevitable issues after he's gone. If Redcliffe think that they can copy a model used in the late 80s and it will have similar results they are kidding themselves. Bennett is the master coach, but let's not forget he hasn't won a premiership since 2010. That's 12 bloody years! So if they think that long term planning will be sacrificed for a quick premiership they are in for a shock... they don't want to come out of Bennett's stint with 6 or 7 35 year olds and no premiership. I'm sure he will still be I involved after. That'd uncharted territory for Bennett and any nrl club. Will he be able to keep out of the day to day running, will the club cope with the speculation if they start losing, will it delay the inevitable loss of Bennett and make it worse? Who knows, they shouldn't depend on that with their recruitment "no worries if we have an ageing roster, Bennett will still be around to help".... because his input should be far, far less into the team or its a recipe for disaster with the next coach, it'd be career suicide for any coach...
