The English Rugby Football League is set to sack Wayne Bennett as national coach within the next 12 hours.Bennett is expected to be replaced by Shane Wane, former coach of Wigan and a man with an excellent record in Super League.

Bennett has been coaching England and then Great Britain with mixed results since 2016.
But the series loss to New Zealand late last year for the first time in more than two decades was the believed to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Despite turning 70 recently and having a fulltime role at South Sydney, Bennett said recently he was keen to continue as the Great Britain national coach.
 
You would have thought after the trainwreck that was GB last year, Wayne would have stepped down. Ego can be quite damaging.
 
Yeah there's no way they'd let him coach again after his lunacy last year.

He had no respect for the revival of the Great Britain team, and insisted on making bizarre out position selections.

That’s gotta be the last straw which broke the camels 🐪 back surely? Are they waiting for Wayne to improve with age like a Barossa Shiraz?

Hopefully sacked as Souths coach at the end of this year also.

On a side note Mr & Mrs Wane called their kid Shane - seriously that's just cruel ?
