Wayne Bennett

[Easts75]

I think he is a flog but to get that Souffs team to where he did and to win this series with that QLD team is unbelievable .

On the flip side. How bad is Freddy going?

Gutho, wighton and yeo in centres was the nail in coffin (as well as Keary of course).

And we can believe it or not, but the qld spirit, and Lang park, just does something to these guys, Edrick Lee, brenko Lee, Allen, capewell.

as DCE said, not bad for the worst QLD team ever.

I hate Bennett, but there's no doubt the bloke knows what's he's doing. sometimes I get the feeling the grumpy persona is all just an act , aanf he goes home every night and pisses himself.

To be doing what he is still doing now, at his age, and amount of time in the game is pretty bloody outstanding.

It’s the first time in about 8 months there was a full crowd at a game. Qlds 18th man. As soon as NSW lost the first neutral game, it was against them. Plus the bubble didn’t help in being able to pick who you wanted.

There’s hope for the Coat

When any teams fullback is ruled out in the first half - they’re in trouble. Should have had pap on the bench as utility - highlights Freddy’s coaching choices more than Bennett’s

[Headless Chook]

He didn't care one bit about the second game, hence why Papali only played 41 mins. Once that game was gone, he started preparing for the the third one. It's easy to blame Freddie, but losing Teddy was a bridge too far and not something you could really foresee

A part of me likes the old bugger...just wish he was at a different club to finish his career. I think he tries to be Jack in many ways.

Will he get them a Premiership Jack?

[Bruce Pickett]

RL will be worse for when he leaves.

[Noosa Rooster]

The thing about Bennett is that he makes it about himself and it takes the pressure off the players, individually and as a team. The journo's lap it up and forget about the real issues making all the news about 'grumpy Bennett'. He manipulates the press for his teams benefit - nothing wrong with that but when people hold him up as a great ambassador for the game, thats what is upsetting. Compare that to our own coach who wears his heart on his sleeve and I'll take that any day - regardless of the result.

Can't see it personally, mate.

The spine Lattrell, Walker, Reynolds and Cook have some great moments across a season esp with the new rules of quick play ons and keep it till you drop it etc.

But they can be poor when it matters pressure wise big game on game.

They were banking on Suaali as their next big thing and are downplaying this a bit I think. Was speculation he would go to 1 and push Lattrell into 6 or centres.
