Scott Sattler, a 2003 premiership winner with Penrith and son of Rabbitohs royalty John Sattler, told AAP of the care the club must take after sacking Jason Demetriou, who was Bennett’s choice as his successor after he left Souths at the end of 2021.
‘Purely due to Wayne’s brilliance in coaching and man management (appointing Bennett) is probably a decision I wouldn’t make at Souths,’ Sattler said.
‘If I was Parramatta and Brad Arthur’s position was in jeopardy then I would understand it, as a club that hasn’t tasted premiership success in nearly 40 years.
‘Wayne did a great job at Souths over three seasons, but going back and replacing the guy that he endorsed, I see as a vicious cycle.
