Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett admitted he felt for South Sydney but typically made no apologies after dropping the bombshell that he would refuse to step down from the Broncos. But the wily Bennett had other ideas, calling a snap press conference of his own at Red Hill after Friday's meeting. Bennett admitted he had no idea about the mooted Seibold press conference and almost offered an apology to the Rabbitohs for digging his heels in - almost.
"I am disappointed for them but at the same time they understand my position and I will be there in 2020 for them," Bennett said. "I have been terribly consistent with it (staying at Brisbane) and nothing has changed today. "I will honour my 2019 contract which was always my plan." The only way South Sydney can now get their man in 2019 is if Brisbane sack Bennett - a fate the 68-year-old did not rule out. If Bennett is shown the door, it is believed the call will come from Broncos owners News Corp, and not the Brisbane club's hierarchy.
