Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2989101, member: 9424"] There’s no doubting that Bennett made sacrifices for this club, but more than some of his players? More than some of his staff? I guess none of us fans will ever really know. But I reckon it’s safe to say he didn’t break bones, destroy joints or shed blood for the club like some of the players he coldly and clinically pushed out the door did. In fact, one of the favourite BHQ punching bags, Gordon Tallis, broke his neck playing for the club and continued to give everything to the jersey when he could have walked away. That didn’t stop Bennett denying him the sendoff many thought he deserved. Bennett pushed Lazarus out the door too. The same with a raft of other players who put everything and more into the jersey over their careers. Hopefully, Bennett did what he did because he thought those players could no longer deliver. Now, the board thinks Bennett can no longer deliver. They may very well be right; Bennett hasn’t delivered since his return and even his biggest fan must seriously question if he still can. So why does he deserve something he denied so many of his players over their careers? I want to be clear, I’m not disagreeing with everything you’re saying. Indeed, some of what you’ve said is bang on, but to be honest, it seems you have gone to the extreme in both your support of Bennett and also justifying your view whilst criticising others for theirs. Bennett is not the Broncos. He didn’t invent sliced bread, part the sea or save the world. He coached an absolute star-studded team to success in the 90’s and 2000. The 2006 win was his best achievement, but let’s not forget he had the greatest player to lace a boot at his disposal then too. Great coach. Best record. No one can debate that. It’s fact. But he is not the only reason this club is what it is. Like I said in my previous post, so many others have helped make this club what it is, but people tend to forget that and let emotion get in the way of reason in their support of him whilst turning a blind eye to how he treated some of the clubs great players. That I can’t understand. [/QUOTE]
