Oh Clint Eastwood. Mr Bennett is a master coach and sure knows how to use his experience to handle immature journalists. Poker faced and stubborn. Classic.

Wayne shouldn’t be continually questioned over Latrell. He has already stated that Mitchell has some off field issues so that obviously entitles him to behave petulantly whenever he is tackled. Anybody with problems away from work are justified in letting off steam in their “workplace”. As far as Radley being exonerated is concerned, Souths fans should get over it in lieu of suggesting a form of bias exists. If the mechanics of the NRL upsets you, go & watch chidren’s cartoons & your anger & blood pressure won’t be impacted as much. Souths were granted readmission to play with the big boys, you won a GF. Be thankful for that. Childish jealousy is out of place in adult conversations.

Fully agree "Big Mig" as the NRL puts the game into disrepute every week with decisions like what they gave LM and let's Radley's off with a nonsensical biased decision, which is the problem here and its been like that for many years and it still continues on and on!

Good one Paul, then it ended up something like this. Why? Because. Why because? Because because. Why Because because? Because because because. Why Because because because? Because because because because. ...and so on.

When we were children, we used to play a game called "Why". It was really simple. A person said something to you and you said why. Then they say something else and you say "Why". Over and over and over again. The point was to annoy the hell out of the other person and this sounds just what the media are trying to do to Bennett. He offered his thoughts previously, so going back and asking the equivalent of "Why" repeatedly is only going to make him angry - but that becomes a story.

I'm not sure what more the media wanted him to say on the matter. He'd already given his views the day before. They just keep on asking the same question over and over. If anything I thought Wayne went easy on them.

If the press don’t like a so-called ‘frosty’ response maybe they should talk to Trent Robinson and ask him on that “a#sey” decision with Victor Radley and being a rooster, we all knew regardless of offence that he’d be playing this week. Perhaps ask to provide some insights on how to play the kangaroo court, I am sure there are at least 14 other clubs who’d like to know.

Wayne handled this professionally, he said what he had to earlier, gave his views and deliberated on this matter at length. It was then widely reported, no need to go back an revisit what was done and already said, but the journos I guess didn’t get the memo. Anything else and he’d be called a “Ricky Stuart”, but Wayne’s too wise for that trap. :thumbup:

Listen here, if the press consistently wants to bait and go on with this LM thin, then I’m sure Wayne knows how to stone wall them. Its ridiculous to go on about this especially when a coach gets fined if he “God Forbid” has an opinion that’s different to the NRL’s and gets fined. If all you geniuses out there in the press want an opinion then here it is and how we all feel as Bunnies fans; for LM to get bloody 4 weeks is a ‘bit rich’ when Radley get off with nothing, is that what all you buggerlugs in the media wanted to hear from Wayne? Well here it is :angry:
