But Gary Belcher said, mate, piss off.

You're not welcome.

And Wayne said, hey, badge.

So he let me stay.

Anyway, I watched him train.

And back then, the rule was,

You weren't allowed to come up off the defensive line until the ball had cleared the ruck.

Remember, you had to wait for it to clear.

And Bennett had them coming up and back in defense, and he was playing the ball, putting his foot on the ball like that.

As soon as his foot was on the ball, boom, off they go.

And I said to him after, when training was over, he came over and sat down next to me, and players went off to have a meal.

We sat there for an hour talking footy and stuff.

I said, I noticed you're teaching him to cheat and play the ball there.

And he knew what he was doing.

And he said, look, Paul, New South Wales did it to us in game one.

He said, now...

You're not allowed to do it.

He said, but the ref let him get away with it.

He said, so I'm not teaching my guys to do it.

He said, but I can't just – if New South Wales do it in game two, I can't just send a message out and say, hey, they're doing it, let's do it too.
