Thursday night's Dolphins v Manly<\/a> game means a lot more than the two points to the coaches involved.<\/p>\n

Wayne Bennett<\/a> and Anthony Seibold<\/a> do not like each other – in fact they have been feuding for several years.<\/p>\n

"Wayne doesn't rate the bloke and it goes both ways," a close confidante of Bennett told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"They would both love to rub each other's noses in it tonight with a win."<\/p>\n

The dispute stems back to when Bennett left the Broncos<\/a> at the end of the 2018 season to link up with South Sydney.<\/p>\n

Bennett was of the understanding that the Broncos head coach job would go to his deputy Jason Demetriou<\/a>, but the Brisbane board went for Seibold instead.<\/p>\n

The move angered Bennett, who believed Demetriou was never given a fair crack at the job by the Broncos.<\/p>\n

At the time, Bennett commented: "Jason was really disappointed to miss out on the Broncos job. They are a huge club and it's got great prestige, so of course he was disappointed.<\/p>\n

"But I was honest with Jason. I advised him not to go for the Broncos interview because he was never going to get the job.<\/p>\n

"The Broncos were false on it. Everyone in the game knows the Broncos had their preferred candidate (Seibold)."<\/p>\n

The angst between the pair flared up again in 2020, when the Broncos were struggling under Seibold and Bennett was accused of "ripping in" to his former club.<\/p>\n

"How did I rip in?," Bennett demanded. <\/p>\n

"Do you call telling the truth ripping in? I told the truth, what am I supposed to do?"<\/p>\n

Thursday night's post-match press conferences are certain to be fascinating viewing, with the pair likely to trade barbs yet again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
