He got a job at the Broncos due to a lack of options. If all coaches were available he'd be down the list.
Bennett won at St George but he's still stewing over the Broncos hierarchy.

Bennett went back to the Broncos after he won a comp at Saints
To weigh-in on the endless Benji chat...
I've always said he would have at least this year to prove himself, last year was not the one to judge him. Yes, in my own opinion, I don't think he can coach - but whether he actually can or can't is yet to be proven.
One thing he definitely has on his side, a lot of players seem to want to play for him.
Brandon Smith has spoken badly of the Tigers often, but if even he can see the changes Benji (with Richo) has made... that can only be a good thing.
On Smith - it would have to be a very good deal for me to want him here. I just worry he comes with too much baggage.
I know it doesn't count for much, but from hearing him speak on The Bye Round since his last Roosters incident (missed video, or something?) he seems to really have knuckled down with a good attitude.

At the moment we have 3 locks listed in the 30, plus bird and latu earmarked. With smith's off field antics, i don't get the appeal. Our current lads should have the year to step up.
We need a quality 2nd rower and an outside back to round out the squad more so. Lots of middle forwards already.

How would you know
Doubtful. Madge is renowned in league circles for his ability to hold a grudge

That may be the case, but he still holds a grudge.
He shouldn’t though bcoz the idiots that hired and fired him got fired. But if he gets the chance to stick a knife in, guarantee he will.

Yeah mate. Would be all over that. I was talking about Smith, probably didn't make that clear.

So who’s to say he still does? (Assuming he did in the first place). People jumping at shadows
But, but, but ............ 😉
Did u not watch the forwards who played in the NSW cup they were pathetic, and u think they will save us from another wooden spoon , we need proven works in the forwards not kids

110kg mate solves the 2nd row problem and another big body added.

It’s not about jumping at shadows.
It’s about, he is human and not stupid.
He knows sticking the knife in makes it hard for a rival team, (smart), and doing to us would be satisfying, (and that’s the human bit).
Trust no-one, assume nothing, presume everything.
He’s played a few games at 2nd row but his lateral movement isn’t good enough to play there permanently. Gets caught out in defence every time he’s had the chance which is why he was pretty much just a middle forward all last season
Jury is still out, look had a great year. But hasn’t shown game management, long kick game, speed, etc. I know he’s young but it’s to early to know for sure. Could get owned in his second year and his price drops. I like he’s backing himself, shows something. But a big risk for him. I’d take the money in the hand over 3 in the bush!
