The Wayne Bennett
Grind mindset. Emotional control.
Resilience Over Reaction
You coach with patience and mental durability. You don’t chase points, trends, or short-term noise.
When things don’t go your way, your first instinct isn’t to fix everything immediately — it’s to absorb the setback
and keep moving forward.
Endurance Through Variance
You understand that downturns are inevitable across a long season.
Rather than panicking or overcorrecting, you allow variance to play out. You trust that sound decisions compound
over time, and that resilience often outperforms aggression when the season stretches on.
Avoiding the Trap of Chasing
You don’t feel the need to match every move the competition makes. While others burn trades trying to recover instantly, you stay composed, knowing that chasing usually creates more problems than it solves.
You protect structure and let opportunities come to you.
Strength in Staying the Course
Your edge is consistency. By enduring when others fracture, you remain positioned to capitalise later.
As the season wears on and patience thins across the field, your discipline keeps you competitive and in control.
The Key Insight
You don’t win by forcing momentum — you survive long enough for it to come back to you.
In short: You endure pressure, trust the long game, and let resilience do the heavy lifting over the season.

Season Strategy
Phase 1 - Pre-Season - Lead Up to Round 1
Build your squad based on positional coverage, a good mix of cheapies, mid-rangers, premium tier and risk on a 1-3 PODs
Phase 2 - Early Season - Rounds 1–11:
Build stability and ensure you acquire value. This is the time of year to spend trades. They’re capped at 2 and the market value is high.
Phase 3 - Origin Period - Rounds 12–19:
Selective upgrades. Ensuring you don’t sway too far from your natural style, this is the time where you can retain your trades.
Phase 4 - The Run-Home - Rounds 20–27:
Lean into consistency and POD ownership. This is where you want to avoid being too vanilla. Take calculated risks in weak match ups.
