As I said the other day , was about 4 seconds away from winning a premiership in 2015
Players want to play for him , much like Terry Lamb

Yeah I’m just interested in people’s thoughts - that’s all. I don’t doubt his ability, presence, knowledge etc. I’d be happy if he signed - just wondering if others have concerns around his age

6 premierships with an Australian and QLD SOO squad pretty average results.

It doesn’t have to be anything. Eating 12 months for Bennett would work out fine.
IF the Tigers want Bennett this is smart business come now or don’t come at all. Broncos don’t want him he wants one ast year with a gun up and coming squad to boost his stocks. Perhaps take over Souths or Parra next year. I’d lean towards Madge personally but if it’s our call between the two hats off to the leadership this was well played.

Yeah…thats the same thing I read, not what I would call concrete and definitive. Seems rather open ended and theres been no official confirmation that Ciraldo would be head NRL coach next year. that would be pretty damned disrespectful if theyre leaving his announcement at that...a Gus Podcast
Lets not forget these are Goulds words, known BS artist extraordinaire

If Bennett decides to stay at Broncos for 2019, and we sign Madge and Seibold re-signs with Souths it then limits the Broncos to Walters (who they gave knocked back before) or Demetriou.
I don’t think that they will like those options therefore they could release Bennett and sign Madge for 2019.
That’s is Ivan does go to Penrith in 2019, which looks more likely than not.

Not sure an ultimatum would help get Bennett. If the broncos roster plays up to its potential next year, uncle will not be short of suitors

I’m not so sure about that, especially given his age. This could be his last opportunity for all we know.

A lot of people i know have the same concern. Is he too old?
Its hard to tell but if we had any doubts it makes no sense then to wait another year before signing him. He would only be another year older.
My 2 cents …
If we get Bennett we get a coach who is the best the game has seen, has had results everywhere he has coached, and would attract players who otherwise would not see our club as a potential home.
If we get Madge we get a coach who has had success with one club, playing a certain type of footy, that he cannot replicate at the Tigers. The fact he hasn't coached anywhere else since means we don't know if he has been able to update his playbook, and we don't know if he can develop a style of coaching that would work at the Tigers. He is more of a gamble than Bennett.
I know i am in the minority, but i would keep Ivan for another year if it means definitely getting Bennett in 2020\. It wouldn't be the first time, or the last time, a coach is signed elsewhere for the next season.
If everything is cleared up and the players know who is coaching and what the plan is, then they can put their heads down and concentrate on playing footy next year.

I would think he is gone. As for the club, as others have said they just can't come out and say " Ivan is gone and we are looking for a new coach". They won't make any announcement until everything is finalised - new coach signed, deal finalised with Penrith and a big boot purchased to kick Ivan up the rear as he leaves.
