In todays Rabbitohs Zoom press confernce Wayne Bennett confirmed that the team will be 1-17 as named.

Coach Bennett told us that he was pleased that he’s been able to rest a lot of his starting side & provide an opportunity for some of the rest of the squad to gain some valuable game time.

When asked about the fitness of Adam Reynolds, Wayne with tongue firmly in cheek said “If he was a horse we’d spell him”, he then continued “The miracle recoveries he’s made before I’ve got no doubt he’ll be out there next week even if it’s in crutches”.

It was vintage Wayne Bennett today –

“It’s only a distraction if you let it be.”

“If I start listening to the critics it won’t be long before I’m sitting with them.”

“Mark Nicholls is one of the guys you love coaching.”

“The Goats ready.”
