SunTan, I agree with your sentiments regarding St George, after all they've had a mortgage on talent for years however couldn't break the hoodoo. With Brisbane however, he built that club (on field at least) from the ground up.

Yes he was there from the start, but having a whole state of players to pick from did help quite a bit.

It's not like Brisbane had a mortgage on QLD… Canberra and Easts were bringing players down for years prior to the Broncos inception.
Who didn't have a dodgy salary cap back then? Parramatta & Easts were offenders as well.

I have no idea how Bennett would have faired at the Tigers, it's speculative. Could say the same thing about Bellamy… Would we have thrived under him if he chose us instead of Melbourne, would we have gone down the same path that Melbourne did in relation to cap rorting?
My point is that Brisbane was a club built from the ground up and that was a monumental task. Of course players were going to flock to Brisbane to play under a successful coach when there was a large chance of playing in a premiership winning side. Do you question the immediate success of the Melbourne Storm?

Chris Lawrence> Eels 2 year deal.
There seems to be logic to it, losing Tahu and Whatuira probably wont be resigned at the end of the coming years, with only Reddy as the only NRL quality Centre there at the moment.

Now why would Chris want to go to a club who is in so much debt, and hasnt attracted any genuine talent in so long?
Its not a matter of the Tigers not having enough coin to sign him. We have plenty of room to move! Chris will remain a Tiger and at the longest odds, if Sheens leaves, he might follow…
Now go back to your own website and talk crap!!!

Chris will not be going to Parramatta. I know for a fact that they are not interested in him. Their halves are their recruitment priority and they have a multitude of ageing outside backs & untested juniors to fill the void.
You're talking garbage, go troll some other teams forum.

On The Back Page on Foxsports Greg Martin (former Wallabies & Reds fullback) stated that he knows as a fact that Wayne Bennett has already made an approach to a Sydney-based player to move to Brisbane in 2012!
He claims the player rejected the approach - but swears it is fact!
Make of that what you will!

I think he will be going back to Brisbane too. His family is still there and I saw an article today saying that his mother in law isn't well at the moment and he had to fly back yesterday.
The impediments from the board to Wayne returning are gone now and he has won the premiership with St George already.
All signs point to Brisbane.

Well if Bennett is going back to Broncos(or the new franchise if it happens ) the first player to follow would be Darius Boyd . I've heard his young fella does not like it down there either (that is just rumour though )
Gower as in Craig "Don't you know who I am? I play for the Panthers" Gower? bahahahaha
hahahaha They could be related :wink:
