Quote:"Not what he does off the field. It shouldn't be the headline. He is a great player and I am sure he will get it right." Bennett said that any person involved in the NRL had to face the fact they are under different scrutiny than others and said personal responsibility was paramount.
"It is not easy. Most businesses in Australia would fail if they were under the scrutiny we are under. We are under an enormous amount of scrutiny," he said.
"That doesn't give us the reason to do what is not right. The reality is that if you decide to coach in the NRL if you decide to play in the NRL or be an official in the NRL, you are under different rules to everyone else in society.
"If you can't handle that, then don't do the job. Go and be a part of society, otherwise, you will be under scrutiny and you have to learn to live with it and change your behaviour. It is as simple as that."
