The Melman-Bengarna thing's been floating around for a while.
Now, obviously, Mel didn't appoint Bengarna.
The NRL did.
So the suggestion has been that...
Mel hasn't been overly happy with how that process unfolded and that's led to a little bit of tension within the coaching ranks because Ben is obviously, the plan has been to succeed Mel.
I think Mel coached him maybe the first two years and then Ben takes over.
That's the plan long term.
And that was an NRL plan, not a Mel Meninga plan.
So that's where, excuse me, that tension's coming from.
Yeah.
And obviously Mel's come out publicly today.
We quoted him a month ago saying, I'm not going anywhere.
This is a legacy piece for me.
I'm here, you know, through the good times and bad, right?
So I guess the question, if that's the case, is what does Ben do?
Is he willing to hang around?
Look, to me, I don't think this relationship is β
Right, is unmendable.
It doesn't sound like this relationship's at a point where they're going to go their separate ways.
