1993 Grand Final - Bogus Tip Sheet

What's this all about? In today's Telegraph it mentioned Bennett creating a bogus tip sheet resulting in Brian Smith bagging Broncos players. What's a tip sheet?

  • So Bennett created a bogus tip sheet on Dragons players? I think I remember back than Bennett questioning the Dragons players and saying to his own team would you rather be playing alongside Alfie Langer, Renouf or the Dragons players.
  • No, Bennett told his Broncos about a tipsheet Smith had circulated to his Dragons players pointing out supposed weaknesses of each of the Broncos. It was definitely not complimentary and fired up the Broncos. All BS but Bennett worked it beautifully.
    • hahah I remember '93 and the Dragons were a much bigger chance of winning that year than the previous year, but they had another shocking Grand Final performance not even scoring a try, chook Herron kicked 3 penalty goals. Smith mentioned in the paper that Bennett's bogus tip sheet was offensive and even had an effect on his family, not sure what he meant there??? Wayne Bennett must of been a little concerned about a Dragons win that week of the Grand Final.

"To be totally honest , Junior Paulines 200th game was celebrated exactly how his career over the past few seasons deserved .  Soft as fuck runs , error riddled and a thumping on the scoreboard .  
He got the result that reflects his game . "
