Bennett should go and take the likes of McGillvary, Hodgson and Widdop with him.
This is emotional, even hysterical, nonsense.
Wayne Bennett has won six (6) Grand Finals in Australia with two (2) different clubs. He is regarded as one of the greatest rugby league coaches of all time. That is why the RFL asked him to coach England and Great Britain.
Gareth Widdop was close to being the winner of the Dally M award in 2018. He was the captain of St. George-Illawarra Dragons, and highly regarded not only by his coach, Paul McGregor, but also by the NRL pundits.
Joshua Hodgson was the co-captain and lynchpin of the successful Canberra Raiders team. He was rated the number three hooker in the NRL (after Cameron Smith and Damien Cook) in 2019 by the NRL pundits.
