Supercoach Wayne Bennett worked his Midas touch once again at the weekend as his National Rugby League (NRL) debutant Dolphins stunned the Sydney Roosters in front of more than 32,000 fans at Brisbane's Lang Park.
"It's terribly significant. One of the most difficult things is to get that first win because it just settles everything down. So a loss today would've put us under a lot of pressure.
Former policeman Bennett was to go on to lead the Broncos to six of the seven championships he has masterminded over his long career, establishing his reputation as one of the game's finest coaches. The Broncos, who showed signs of a revival last year after a few lean seasons, stunned double defending champions Penrith 13-12 in the opening match of the new campaign last Thursday.
