After a heartbreaking loss, Wayne Bennett, a seasoned football coach, shocked his players by not addressing them. Instead, he chose to stay in Brisbane while the team returned to the Gold Coast.
He’d lost big matches in the past. He’d lost a grand final. And he had the type of perspective that only comes with coaching football teams for more than half a century.
As the team bus made its way back to the Gold Coast, where the Rabbitohs were staying, officials were stunned when they realised Bennett wasn’t on the bus. He’d decided to stay in Brisbane.
There’s no other genuine alternative who can get Souths going again. More significantly, there’s no coach who can get Latrell Mitchell firing.Mitchell is the problem child nobody at Souths knows how to handle, but Bennett squeezed the best out of him in his three years at the club and he can do it again.
Mitchell was so desperate for Bennett to coach him, he signed a one-year deal so Souths could squeeze him into their salary cap.Bennett has a long history of getting the best out of Indigenous players. He wouldn’t talk to Mitchell about football but his cattle because Bennett has cattle on one of his five farms around Warwick in Queensland.
All Bennett has said publicly about his own future is he wants to coach beyond this year when his Dolphins contract ends.
