Wayne Bennett has warned NSW that Suncorp Stadium is no place for a rookie Origin halfback and compared recalling Adam Reynolds to his decision to bring Allan Langer back from England.
Bennett, who coached Reynolds at South Sydney, guided the Maroons to Origin series wins in 1988, 1989, 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2020 but he was willing to offer NSW mentor Brad Fittler advice about his halfback dilemma.
Nicho Hynes was on the bench for the Blues in the 24-18 loss at Adelaide Oval and many believed the 2022 Dally M Medallist deserved to start in the halves alongside Cleary but Fittler opted for his Panthers club-mate Jarome Luai. “It's not a place to go without your best players that can handle that as well, you've got to be able to handle the night, the moment, otherwise it's all over for them.
“I’d go with the players I’d trust more to do it, and I’d trust Adam Reynolds above everyone else that’s available to them. He lives up there now, knows the place really well.
