[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 89298"] Some good thoughts mate, just a couple in regards to the above............ Gibson was a great coach, a forerunner to someone like Bennett, but in time Bennett has become the best Aussie coach ever - be it premierships, win ratio, whatever. Not to say Gibson doesn't deserve a place as well (why not put your research to use and nominate him?). Bennett should be credited with building some great team rosters, not marked down because of it. He has never been afraid of removing players and developing new teams (think the demotion/ousting of Wally Lewis), if he thought he could build a better one. I think it was at the beginning of this season that he sacked pretty much his entire backstaff. Some of those people that found themselves out of a job were long time friends of Bennetts that had been with him for years, and through many successful campaigns. However Bennett felt a new approach was needed, and so it was proven when Brisbane took out the ***le. Jack Gibson wasn't quite that insightful. [/QUOTE]
