He saved it (his marriage).<\/p>\n Reynolds\u2019 story is just another example of the massive impact Bennett has had on professional rugby league players over the past three decades. <\/p>\n While considered one of the greatest coaches ever, Bennett\u2019s ability to connect with his players is unrivalled. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s very good at reading the room and I probably wasn\u2019t giving out too much and he dragged me aside one day and checked in on me,\u201d Reynolds said. <\/p>\n \u201cI opened up to Wayne because he gets the trust of the person and he gave me guidance and regularly checked in to see what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n Legends agenda – Will Seibs survive? | 02:18<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n \u2018TRYING WAY TOO MUCH\u2019: Matty, Cronk\u2019s advice to Walsh amid Broncos\u2019 big issue<\/a><\/p>\n NRLW TALKING PTS: Embarrassment of Roosters riches; threat facing Broncos<\/a><\/p>\n
