How the 2015 loss affected Bennett... “I really struggled after that loss,” he says. “For three or four days, I was in a bad place. “I didn’t want to face the world. I didn’t want to leave the house. I couldn’t bring myself to go outside. “I felt I had let everybody down. “I found it really hard to move on from that game because we had such a good team, we played so well that night … and we had that premiership won.” “It was our game,” Bennett continues. “With two minutes to go, we were on the Cowboys’ 20-metre line and we gave a penalty away, then we couldn’t defend that set of six (tackles). “We had to make just one more f***ing tackle. “Forget about what happened in extra-time. We made ourselves vulnerable. We didn’t have to be there. We did enough on the night. We were in front. “That was a huge disappointment for me. The premiership slipped through our fingers. “It was very hard to accept. Bob Bax was a great coach and a great friend of mine and he once said, ‘Wayne, grand finals are never won, they are always lost’ and we lost that one in a big way.
