Dearden stuns again as Cowboys finals hopes still alive after thriller<\/a><\/p>\nWayne Bennett and Jack Wighton.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n
Despite the loss Bennett was proud of his team for pushing a top eight side all the way despite their growing casualty ward. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was high, they couldn\u2019t give much more than they gave,\u201d Bennett said of his side\u2019s brave and gutsy display. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat was there for everybody to see, so I don\u2019t see much point in my commenting on it,\u201d Bennett said. <\/p>\n
Wighton binned for shoulder charge! | 00:35<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was there for everybody to see their performance and I can\u2019t add much to that. It\u2019s we all have different interpretations of what happens, what doesn\u2019t happen, so I think it was said it was a very gutsy performance by us.\u201d <\/p>\n
Souths lost another player in Tevita Tatola to a shoulder injury in the act of scoring the final try of the night. <\/p>\n
\u201cDislocated his shoulder,\u201d Bennett said of the injury. <\/p>\n
\u201cJust add it to the list and move on.\u201d <\/p>\n
“I’d be happy to make the top 8!” | 06:21<\/p>\n
Bennett was pressed Lewis Dodd\u2019s first performance in the No.7 jersey, even though Souths had virtually no good ball. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe only had two sets, one just on half-time in there half and one on full time, so the rest of the time we were in the back of the field and went pretty hard to come out, but he didn\u2019t let anybody down,\u201d Bennett said. <\/p>\n
Bennett was at his best when asked to talk about Souths debutant Ashton Ward. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh, not much,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell Allan Langer played at 72, so he\u2019s one kilogram heavier than him.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A prickly Souths coach Wayne Bennett was annoyed at a question about the wooden spoon after his side…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[23855,4565,23856,774,763,23859,43,5098,4578,4506,44,23861,23858,3495,8088,4439,23862,23857,41,39,42,40,1651,11103,23860],"class_list":["post-23969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-brutal-loss","tag-cronulla-sharks","tag-final-try","tag-finals-hopes","tag-fox-league","tag-growing-casualty-ward","tag-headlines","tag-ivan-cleary","tag-jack-wighton","tag-lewis-dodd","tag-news","tag-panthers-coach","tag-shoulder-charge","tag-shoulder-injury","tag-sin-bin","tag-south-sydney-rabbitohs","tag-spoon-questionnrl","tag-spoon-talk","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-wayne-bennett","tag-wooden-spoon","tag-wooden-spoon-question"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
