Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2393960, member: 2115"] i stand by what i said in another thread where this came up: IMO bennett goes about the season the wrong way. being number 1 from weeks 1-16 or so means nothing. like ive said before, the other teams all use the first half of the season to experiment with gameplans, tactics, player positions, interchanges, etc - but bennett always just sticks to his guns and plays how hes going to play his team in september in march-september. it makes his team predictable when it gets to the pointy end of the season, and it also puts so much unnecessary pressure on the players because they were number 1/2/3 for most of the season and all of a sudden theyre losing games and theyre copping criticism when it comes to the backend of the season. the other good teams 'time their run' in to the finals. they pick up the pace at crunch time. they fire on all cylinders. bennetts teams have never really done this. also, im not sure if you counted in your stats but for 4-5 of those years iirc we didnt win a single finals match either despite making the finals every year. having said that, im absolutely loving watching St George fall apart at the moment lol. its taking a lot of the sheen off their premiership last year if you ask me, as now its looking like they kinda won it 'by default' since melbourne were taken out of the running.
