Gould takes aim at Bennett

Phil Gould has attacked his old coaching rival Wayne Bennett for an awkward pre-match interview he gave before England played New Zealand.

Bennett did a short and sharp interview with the BBC’s Tanya Arnold before the 17-16 loss to the Kiwis.

Gould, who tangled with Bennett at NRL and Origin level for many years, took aim at his fellow Australian.

“Typical Wayne rubbish interview that he gives,” Gould told Channel Nine.

“I don’t know what gets him in that mood sometimes.

“He’s there to promote the game.

“He’s been given a wonderful opportunity to for England and to do something for English rugby league, and he gives an interview like that.

“It’s ridiculous.”
