No flies on Bennett. Old cnut just refuses to disappear.
Probably would have done better in the test today if he was coaching instead of Fozzie.
Plus @mariner4life's blow up when Wayne somehow manages to find a long lost grandparent for Darius Boyd and then his selection in the ABs would be a sight to behold.

Big night for @kiwiinmelb with both his teams playing.
This game is a stitch up đź‘€
Got both the AFL and NRL on, now just the AFL...

Every time I complain about rugby refs, I should pause and reflect on how incompetent league refs can be on a much simpler game.
Also - how overrated is Wayne Bennett? Let's see him coach the Bulldogs.

Panthers really know how to work the ball out of their own end.
-
Another Burgess without the brainpower to play the ball. Such a simple skill and Souths appear to have difficulty with it.

The Bunnies hooker Damian Cook is a grub. His neck rolls are Cameron Smith-esque...

He cracks me up, he's actually well spoken in interviews (his bogan accent isn't as pronounced as most players) yet he looks like a bikie.

I just hope a couple of the Panther players that got hurt tonight come right.
Kikau will be back too.

Welcome back bro.
I think Bennett is an excellent coach, but he invites plenty of criticism and attention because of his manner and style. He comes across as “bigger than the game” with the way he engages with the media. Sure the media are dogs sometimes, but play the game and don’t always be an egg about it.

Not at all. He's up there with the best coaches of all time. Should have retired after the Dragons though.

I don't think he's half as good as his press would like you to believe. He's benefitted from good rosters, and his Dragons experience was a team on the rise which deteriorated just as quickly.

Name a single premiership winning coach who hasn't benefited from a good roster. He also worked wonders back in the old Qld comp with very limited cattle.
I get the hate. The guy is a weird looking grumpy tool. But he's a damn good coach. Or at least used to be.

Wasn't he an assistant to the kiwis when we'd performed well?

@canefan yeah pretty sure he was there when we won the world cup.
I thought so

Of course all premiership winning coaches have good rosters. My point is he's largely made his reputation on the basis of a SoO team at his disposal and once he left unsurprisingly selected a team he could do something with.
The way people carry on about him you'd think he could walk on water.
