I wouldn’t mind the assistant from the Storm.
If Cleary goes I do everything in my power to chase Wayne Bennett. He has a huge stature in the game.
The talent pool in Brisbane is endless and his connection to that alone would be terrific for a club that struggles to attract players.
I dont think he would be attractive to the Tigers but the money from Penrith we get as compo you never know.

Wests Tigers are weighing up a move for Wayne Bennett after the club was asked whether they would be interested in signing the seven-time premiership winner as a replacement for Ivan Cleary.
Bennett has already been told by the Broncos that his contract will not be extended beyond next season, leaving him on the lookout for another club as he attempts to continue his coaching career beyond his 70th birthday.
The Tigers have emerged as frontline contenders given they are resigned to losing Cleary — he has a contract until the end of 2020 but has received an offer from Penrith, where his son Nathan recently signed an extension.
Intriguingly, Cleary and Bennett are managed by the same company — SFX Sports — and it is understood the Tigers have already been approached about whether they would consider signing the Brisbane coach in a move that would allow Cleary to leave at the end of next season.
The Tigers want an experienced coach to replace Cleary and in that regard Bennett is far and away the most logical option given he has coached more than 800 games across four clubs, winning a host of premierships along the way.
It is believed they are also giving serious consideration to Michael Maguire, who has been coaching New Zealand since leaving South Sydney at the end of 2017.
Adding to the coaching intrigue, Bennett has been linked with a number of clubs since news emerged of his potential departure from Brisbane, the Tigers leaping to the head of the queue given they are exploring their options with the likely departure of Cleary sooner rather than later.
Manly are the only other club actively in the market for a coach, although it is understood their job has become a straight shootout between Maguire and John Cartwright. Rumours persist that the Sea Eagles may be up for sale, which could have an impact on their coaching search.
Maguire has also been linked with the Broncos as a replacement for Bennett and Brisbane would be his preferred destination.
However, the Broncos have also been linked with South Sydney coach Anthony Seibold, who has another year on his deal and is locked in talks with the Rabbitohs over an extension, as well as Queensland State of Origin coach Kevin Walters.
Bennett is by far the most decorated coach on the open market and his signing would be a massive coup for the Tigers.
Many would consider it a significant upgrade on their existing coach given Cleary is yet to win a premiership — Bennett has won seven during a career spanning more than 30 years in the premiership.
He led the Broncos to the finals this year, although they capitulated in week one when they were badly beaten by St George Illawarra at Suncorp Stadium.
He was already on borrowed time at the Broncos before that loss and his fate was sealed a matter of weeks later when the club’s board of directors confirmed he would not have his contract extended beyond 2019.
The club has offered him an ambassadorial role but he has made it clear that his preference is to continue coaching, leaving him up for grabs.
Cleary is yet to announce his plans but it is widely assumed that he will leave the Tigers to join his son at Penrith. The Panthers have already made the decision to leave caretaker Cameron Ciraldo in charge next season subject to Cleary’s availability.
The Tigers will dictate what happens next although there is a growing belief that they would be better placed allowing him to leave before his contract expires.
While some have suggested they would be best placed allowing him to go now, the Tigers could look to make Cleary stay another year, which would fit in nicely with the end of Bennett’s contract.
The alternative would be to cut Cleary loose now and potentially replace him with Maguire, a move that would leave Bennett to explore his options elsewhere.
A host of coaches come off contract at the end of 2019, several of whom need fast starts next season to secure their futures.
Parramatta’s Brad Arthur and Canterbury’s Dean Pay are among the coaches who will start next season under immense pressure and Bennett’s shadow looms large over both clubs given their respective financial muscle.

It's like one of those puzzles from when you were a kid, where you have to rearrange the squares to make a picture, moving one square at a time.
Cleary across, Ciraldo down, Bennett down, Maguire up and across, Seibold up… suddenly Souths are holding the gap.
Cleary across, Ciraldo down, Bennett down, Maguire up and across, Seibold up… suddenly Souths are holding the gap.
Cleary has to go now. Bennett is the better coach but Maguire is preferable based on age. He could be a 10 year coach for us and we need stability. Can Wayne coach 4-5 years? If this happens either way we are way better off. Cleary=Myth good coach but people carrying on like he’s jack Gibson.
Just a personal opinion but Wayne Bennett all day long over Michael Maguire.
We need a coach that can potentially attract a nursery of talent.
Plus lets remember Maguire had the same Souths side going like a busted you know what in 2016 and 2017.
With all the talent coming through at Brisbane that would be a huge incentive for mine. All his links and contact up there.
The roster we have at the minute is a short term one. We want to win now. We have missed the finals for 7 years straight.
Wayne for 2-3 years would be great IMO. Others may disagree given how he left Newcastle.
Why would Wayne do it to himself though? Come to a club with our lack of resources and talent and record over the past 7 years?

My thoughts as well.
Maybe we are attactive to Wayne because his manager might be able to secure his next job for him well before time.
I’m not sure he’d want to finish his final year in Brisbane but if he does, signing with us for 2020 already gives him security. The deal could involve a pay out from releasing Cleary to Penrith 1 year early. I would think both the club and Cleary would prefer to come to an amicable resolution as far as Cleary’s future. Cleary continues what he started for one more year. Both he and Wayne move on on their terms and then both coaches can concentrate on 2020 when it comes about.
My preference is Cleary one more year even if Madge was available now. He has New Zealand commitments first which would put him on the back foot in regards to getting his systems ready for start of preseason.
Finally by the club being able to announce Bennett is coming in 2020 it would actually help with our recruitment this year. Remember any player we sign from November is someone for the following year.
With an announcement that Wayne would be coach would assist Pascoe and Egan I’m putting together a more formidable roster for 2020.
Bennett or madge doesn't bother me who it is, both are upgrades to Ivan imo.
If and only if this story has any legs it would be a better guess tha Bennett will be at the club next season. Brisbane want him gone ASAP I do think this is more Fake News but if the Panthers come to the table with a huge payout anything is possible I suppose, I am not sold that Bennett is the right choice but it is better than a rookie.

Couldn’t agree more. We need someone who wants to be here. The only reason Ivan is still around is because legally he has to be and to me that is detrimental to our team. Imagine Bennett comes with Pangai junior, now wouldnt that be nice.
