Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2393961, member: 1764"] True. Look at the finals record in that time too: 2001 (Broncos) Won 1, lost 2 2002 (Broncos) Won 1, lost 1 2003 (Broncos) Lost 1 2004 (Broncos) Lost 2 2005 (Broncos) Lost 2 2006 (Broncos) Won 3, lost 1 2007 (Broncos) Lost 1 2008 (Broncos) Won 1, Lost 1 2009 (Dragons) Lost 2 2010 (Dragons) Won 3 So Bennett's finals record since 2001 is Won 9, lost 13. Agree with AP. I think Bennett's focus has been too much on getting a simple but necessarily intense game plan and stick to it. As a result Bennett teams rarely "easily" win games, they often graft them out. Late season, when players start feeling mental and physical fatigue, they can't keep up the effort required to stay in those grinding games, or find that bit extra to be the difference against teams peaking at this time of year. For Newcastle I'd be concerned. They have a bad history of players burning out and being injured late season. How on earth are they going to cope? [/QUOTE]
