Former Castleford and London star Jon Wells, now a commentator for BBC Radio, has slammed Wayne Bennett for yet another embarrassing interview – this time after England’s 38-12 win over Scotland.
Scotland led 8-0 before a spluttering England got themselves into gear eventually running over the top of the minnow nation.
“This country is at a crossroads with what we do with the international game,” Well said on BBC Radio.
“I think that interview was nothing short of a disgrace.
“He’s treated a very professional broadcaster with disrespect.
“He’s been asked questions in good faith. He might not be happy with the result, but you’ve got to front up as a head coach.”
Bennett is no stranger to controversial interviews and this one was no different.
Welsh legend Lestyn Harris backed up Wells.
“When he first came over here mid-season during the Super League, he was here for four days and didn’t speak to the press,” Harris told the BBC.
“He is the Alex Ferguson of the NRL. He’s come over here to promote the game and taken it to another level with his profile.
“He has a responsibility to do those types of interview and grow our our game.
“I thought that interview was shocking.”
