Old board and he agreed to Gus once before so why not again? Unless he kicks Kevvy out in Broncos which I doubt would happen, we are his best chance of one more premiership. Think of how attractive we would be to other players with the money we can spend and a power group of Gus/Bennett/Laundy/ Hansen/Khoury...
Baz secured Burton, who will potentially be our greatest signing in many years and the player we build around for next 10 years. Baz has had a season with a nsw cup squad. Give Baz at least one season with some talent and see how we go. People talking about sacking Baz to start again is madness.
Why would Bennett go to a club that is still building? We are a few years off a premiership shot and are far from his best chance for one more premiership
Yes he did and we should give him life membership and a well paid role in recruitment, but not head coach.
We should give him a year with a team that he had a say in putting together. If we are not sitting in or around the 8 next year Gus will remove him. He needs to have an opportunity with a team that has a chance to win. Our squad is made up of players who are either over the hill, over paid or NSW cup level.
As per your quote, Burton potentially is our greatest signing. In the past several teams that have won the spoon have come back and made a GF or won a comp within in a couple of years. We might not do it next year but if certain cards fell the right way there is no reason why we couldn't in 23 so why wouldn't Bennett see that?
I agree but you reckon Bennett will still be coaching in 23?
Cmon bro...name an NRL squad who has a playing list as bad as ours without a genuine spine player.
Perhaps. But this doesn’t address Barrett’s shortcomings as a coach.
One Hundred percent. The old fart is 71 and fitter than most 40 year olds. He is obsessed with the game and his place in it and would now be trying to figure out what the hell he is going to do. If he sat out a year or 2, I doubt anyone would think of hiring a 73 or 4 year old to start fresh. If they wanted to keep Barrett (fuck knows why..) they could make him 2IC to learn under Wayne and Gus for succession in a few years..
I see a more relevant question, how would Bennet handle having Gould as his boss
My comment was a response on why he was on upgrade on Pay. We have been poor this year, I would give Baz a season with a side with some quality before considering a new coach. 1 season with our NSW cup list is not enough time
5 years?
Yes bro, 5 years according to the haters
So he's dropped to a 10% winning percentage at bulldogs from a 40% at Manly. I wonder why......
Huh? bwahahahaha
29/73 with that Manly roster is about the equivalent of 2/20 with ours. They were stacked with talent.
He might be a shit coach? I have no idea.
