Sports journalist Andrew Webster has authored a revealing exploration of Wayne Bennett, Australia's greatest rugby league coach. Webster delves into the intriguing life of Bennett, who has won seven premierships and unparalleled ability to manage players and the public eye.
Webster uncovers the paradoxes within Bennett's character, revealing a self-professed introvert who effortlessly captivates audiences, an autocrat who aims to instil virtue in his young charges, and a family man who caused shockwaves when he ended a 42-year marriage. As other coaches criticise and emulate Bennett's tactics and players experience a rollercoaster of admiration and betrayal, the media paints a complex portrait of this iconic figure.
Andrew Webster and Mark discuss the story behind those stories and provide unique insights into the complexities of coach champion Wayne Bennett.
