I get the feeling Bennett is aware of the criticism of him and is trying to get himself fired. Also wouldn't surprise me if that fool Sinfield has already renewed Bennett's deal and just hasn't announced it. Picking the same squad, when you've got players there who have trained all tour and not played and given the performance of those players throughout the series, is just ridiculous.
Calling up Ash Handley then not playing him in favour of Blake Austin on the wing is perhaps one of the oddest decisions I've ever come across in professional sport. Mind blowing really. I think someone should @ Greta Thunberg on Twitter and get her to demand Bennett's resignation.
Is anyone really going to buy tickets for the England v Australia games next season if that fool is still in charge?
Scandalous decision to fly Handley all that way just to gather splinters. He did well last season in a poor Leeds side so they should've give the lad a chance to show what he can do at international level instead of bizarrely persisting with a half back on the wing.
I've backed Bennet in the past but flying Handley round the world for one game only to have an Aussie halfback play wing instead is ludicrous. Handley must have been gutted, there's no wingers left, you're called to fly out so it seems like you're gonna get the chance for a first cap, on a lions tour no less. Decent season in a struggling Leeds team but....no dice, the Aussie half back gets it.
They'll make the right noises but I can guarantee they'll be players in that squad thinking WTF.
