Incoming coach Wayne Bennett wasted no time dishing out a brutal reality check to the Rabbitohs players, turning up the heat on their attitude, fitness, and work ethic in his triumphant return to the club.
Bennett's no-nonsense approach was on full display during a meeting at the Maroubra base last Wednesday, where he made it crystal clear that rival clubs see the Bunnies as easy prey.
Some insiders at the club believe that Bennett's harsh words were just what the team needed after a lackluster season.
The legendary coach didn't hold back, even sitting down for a one-on-one with star fullback Latrell Mitchell, fresh off the end of the Dolphins' season in Round 27.
"Wayne didn't mess around...
That's just Wayne being Wayne," a source told News Corp.
It seems Bennett is ready to whip the Rabbitohs into shape, using his no-nonsense approach to light a fire under the team and get them back on track for the upcoming season.
