Brisbane Broncos Coach Wayne Bennett says it’s a lot harder to go back to back on a premiership, with the second year challenges different from the premiership year.
The premiership winning coach made mention of this when acknowledging receipt of a gift from Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League Chairman Sandis Tsaka at the Stanley Hotel on Friday at the Hunters Gala dinner.
The seven times, premiership winning coach knows the challenges of back to back premierships, winning two back to back premierships in 1992 and 1993 the other in 1997 and 1998 with the Brisbane Broncos.
“I Speak from experience when I talk about it, and the challenges are totally different from the year that you won it, but that’s in front for the Hunters but I am sure Michael Marum has the boys for it at the end of the day all you can do is your best and when you have done your best you have done your best you have a lot less regrets than you do when you do your second best,” Bennett said.
Wayne also mentioned the importance of stability in a team, and so far Wayne will be in his 24th season with the Broncos.
He added that patience was important as well with a good example being the Melbourne Strom that has been constant with the same coach Craig Bellamy.
“For a successful rugby league team there has to be stability right from the chairman to the coach, we won’t always get it right, there will be times when we won’t have the season that you want us to have, but you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
“The Clubs that do that pay a great price for that, looking at our competition Melbourne Storm is the other successful club and they have had the same coach for up to well over a decade.
“It works but you have to be patient with it and you have been patient with it and you got some results, it’s going to be harder this year to get, it’s a different challenge once you have won a premiership to go back to back and win it, The Broncos are the only team to have done it back to back in the last 30 years,” Bennett added.
