Penrith GM Phil Gould has praised Wayne Bennett’s relentless Brisbane Broncos saying the Broncos keep to their systems better than any other.

“Every player sticks to the plan” Gould wrote for Fairfax.

“They believe in it and they believe they will win with it. It’s predictable, but it’s relentless. They won’t give up on their system. They will keep coming after you the same way, time after time after time; until you crack.

“Just when you think they may have a new play or variation up their sleeve, nope, it’s the same stuff again. It’s not rocket science, but executed properly, it’s very powerful.

“The Wests Tigers travelled to Brisbane for Sunday afternoon football hoping to bring down the Broncos. To win, the Tigers knew their collective spirit and desire would have to match that of the Bronco players. It didn’t. To win they would need to match the Bronco’s resilient defence. It didn’t come close. To win they would need to persevere and be patient in attack. They weren’t.

“The Bronco players simply worked away, doing what they do best; doing what they’ve been coached to do. The team performed. The individuals shined.”
