"I'm with you, Blue Eel. It's boom or bust for Ryles. I say that not because it's fair that a second year coach is expected to get the team into the finals and strongly compete for top honours. It's probably not. But the Eels have been so starved of…"
"Ironically, around 13 Jan, when Storm agreed to pay Lomax's legal fees (could cause cap implications) was also when Tripp allegedly called Beach to threaten that the Eels could be hit with cap sanctions by the NRL.

"Dont you love a feel good story !
Love that if Melbourne were to win and Lomax's contract with the Storm was confirmed, the fact that Lomax's legal bills would go on top of their salary cap even though they don't have that cap space is just…"

Definitely not.
He walked into a good side at the Dragons.
Judge him on his effort at the Knights, they were in a similar situation to what we are in now.
He only won titles at the Broncos because he was coaching the QLD Origin team at NRL level.
Bennetts rep team only snuck home over the cheapie stone cold spooners last night and it was only pure luck that the bounce went their way. Seriously if our coach and side are as lowly on the table as we are why couldn’t the SuperCoach and his money side at Suncorp, put another fifty on us!?
I would go after Smith if we are going to go for old school.
If we are going young I’m going with Maguire.
I was always a big Bennett fan but I think he’s getting towards the time to go out with a bit of dignity . What happened at The Knights I don’t think is a good measure of his coaching ability , not only was he distracted by his prick and putting it in a nice younger bit of smoo , but he also had Tinkler hampering Wayne’s decisions and dealing with players who weren’t receiving their paycheques . At the moment he’s dealing with a pretty young team minus a few experienced players .
Should we sign him ? Well if you guys want to punt Arthur , Wayne would be my choice over Hasler , Toovey , Madge but I’d be only offering him a short term contract with options our way .
100% correct Browny . The ojert thing to look at is who would give us a better chance at success , A bush coach who has achieved nothing or a 7 time premiership winning coach in Bennett even if he is a old bastsrd ? Bennett at his worst would still piss on BA at his best .
Yes that too Browny , McKinnon’s injury certainly affected that club . Wayne tenure at The Knights should be treated like Gibson’s time at Cronulla and Souths . It just wasn’t meant to be .
