Worth signing Bennett?

What do people think? This would be a true test for him to turn this club into a powerhouse. I know he left the Knights in a mess but look at what he was able to achieve with the dragons. 3 year contract. BA as his assistant.

  • No thanks. He is beyond past it.

  • Has Been will be in a nursing home soon
  • As a player - just to annoy chief

    • Exactly. I don't think he's the so called supercoach the media portrays him to be. The Dragons had a gun squad when he arrived, built by Andrew Farrar and Nathan Brown. Bennett walked in just as those young players reached their peak in maturity.
  • He'll be 70 soon no thanks.
  • Ask this again after Thursday nights game - hopefully he hasn’t taught BA a lesson.

  • Interesting comments. A coach uses the matter between his ears to coach & fans instinctively reject one of the best coaches in the game accredited with multi premiership credentials because he will soon be 70. 

    Yep makes sense, lets replace a struggling rookie FG coach with an also ran or another rookie FG coach, then continue to whinge about the era & culture of failure.

  • If it happen it wouldn't worry me at all if any thing I think he go all right and who know mite bring some broncos players with him

  • I would say no thanks.

    Another point on Bennett - he made the call on the careers of a number of great players believing (rightly or wrongly) they are past their best e.g. Wally Lewis. He's just finding out now what it feels to be like on the other side of that conversation. What goes around, comes around.

    Next!

  • Then we get Darius too?? Yeah fans would love that

"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make assumptions that prove to be wrong. Better to focus on improving ourselves, between the ears, bit by bit, than being right."

"Whether there is a definitive answer or not, it'll have nothing to do with us signing Pezet. He was only available for 2026. He had already signed with the Broncos long term from 2027."
