As a player or coach. lol

It took 2 years for WB to fix the Dragons & they won a premiership, who was the coach there before Bennett, oh that's right Brown.

Did Brown praise his team after the win or did he just bag WB.

Bennet has always been a condescending prick, Good to see brownie knock the fucker right off his hi horse
No wonder he is condescending when people spell his name incorrectly. :p

WB doesn't have to jump to the media etc, he isn't a puppet to them or to anyone.

Don't like either of them but it is like comparing chalk and cheese.

Bennett had a twenty year head start on Brown and won majority of his premierships with the star studded Origin line up at the Broncos. Amazing what can be done when you have such a side.

Bennett never won a Grand final as a player playing most of his footy in the old Qld cup competition ( the equivalent of Reserve Grade.) but did get a run in the Australian team in 1972 plus some SOO when it was not in the same format as today.

St George, well with that club he relocated a lot of players whom he had coached previously at the Broncos.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Bennett_(rugby_league)

The Bennett era at St George Illawarra began with high turnover of staff and players. High performance director Jeremy Hickmans, conditioner Scott Campbell and manager/assistant Paul Massey were recruited to replace the existing staff, while the playing roster had recently lost high-profile stars Mark Gasnier and Jason Ryles. The club's player recruiting however was extensive: Jeremy Smith, Darius Boyd, Neville Costigan, Luke Priddis, Michael Weyman, Mathew Head and Mickey Paea.[31] At the Dragons Bennett was to be re-united with former Broncos Wendell Sailor and Luke Priddis, both of whom had won premierships with him at Brisbane. Neville Costigan, who also played under Bennett at the Broncos joined the Dragons that year in addition to Darius Boyd and Nick Emmett who also moved from Brisbane to St. George Illawarra at the same time as Bennett.

Remember the time he banned the media for twelve months after the infamous St George can't play video was leaked...lol then he went there less thasn 20 years years later to coach them. Remember the famous 'cheat sheet' which was actually the work of Bennett himself.


If Bennett can give it he has lo learn to take it. Yes, probably a bit in poor taste from Brown but nonetheless Wayne has been playing the blame game for decades and got owned on this occasion.

THE 1993 Grand Final was most famous for what happened after the game, certainly not during it.
And certainly not before.

Crowd surfing after the game, on stage in a beer can hat, Allan Langer sang “St George Can’t Play” in drunken, party tones.

It sparked a minor war with the Dragons that lasted the length of the decade, until the Dragons finally merged with Illawarra and the sting went out.

Langer’s serenade was seen as symbolic of the arrogant, upstart Broncos.

“We didn’t want to be seen as arrogant or big-headed,” said Kevin Walters, Langer’s partner in crime.

But nobody knew what provoked Langer’s ridiculing of the Dragons. That the Broncos had unwittingly been dragged into a slanging match, and were only responding in kind.

Days before the game, Broncos coach Wayne Bennett revealed to his team that St George’s tip sheet was leaked to him, with some pretty scathing criticisms.

One of the focal points of the tip sheet was Walters
.

“I can’t remember it word for word but it went along the lines of ‘the least potential of the Walters brothers, lives in Langer’s shadow’, all that sort of stuff,” Walters said.

“It probably wasn’t that far off the mark,” he laughed, “but still ... it rattled the cage a bit and got me a bit fired up. You like to prove people wrong.

“Lazzo [Glenn Lazarus], he was slow around the ruck. Gilly [Trevor Gillmeister], he was over-rated with his defence ... He put that to bed in the first couple of minutes.

“We took it pretty personal.”

All well and good, except the tip sheet was a con.

Bennett hadn’t been leaked it by a disloyal Dragons staffer. He got hold of St George stationery and made it up himself.

Yet it had the desired the effect, the Broncos taking their second premiership in a row over the Dragons, 14-6.

It took years for the truth to finally emerge.

In that time Walters, 45, won more premierships, took up a minor coaching job with the Broncos, won titles in the Queensland Cup, had a head coaching role with Catalans in the English Super League before resigning as Craig Bellamy’s assistant earlier this year to return to Brisbane.

Earlier this week he missed the North Queensland job, which went to Paul Green, after Walters was included in the final round of presentations.

It was a knockback, not a knockout.

Unlike many where the dream is alive but the reality dead, Walters is a first grade coach in waiting, and now merely awaits his opportunity.

It’s not like Newcastle have been relevant since before Shane Warne’s long lost brother pulled the pin - I think you all know who I’m referring to
