Dual-code legend Mat Rogers has slammed the NRL for inducting Wayne Bennett into the Hall of Fame while still coaching in the premiership.

Bennett, currently coaching the Dolphins, is headed back to South Sydney in 2025.

“I just can’t believe how blatantly wrong the NRL gets it sometimes,” Rogers said on SEN Radio

“This is a joke, I’m so off the bit about it, it is ridiculous.

“Cam Smith.. why isn’t he in it this year?

“He’ll probably be an Immortal which I think is wrong again.

“You don’t go into a hall of fame when you’re still in your career, that is not how it works.”

Rogers played under Bennett for both Australia and Queensland.
