Stick to Benny: Webcke

-

BRONCOS legend Shane Webcke has called for Brisbane bosses to smoke the peace pipe with Wayne Bennett and honour his legacy by handing the super coach one final contract for 2020.

As Brisbane prepare for this Saturday’s night blockbuste­r against the high-flying Roosters in Sydney, Webcke believes Bennett – the club’s only premiershi­p coach – has earnt the right to exit on his terms.

Bennett is at loggerhead­s with Brisbane CEO Paul White and chairman Karl Morris over his blueprint to coach a 27th and final season in 2020.

“After everything Wayne has done for the Broncos, the powers-that-be should just give him a 12-month extension and get on with it,” Webcke said.
