Wayne Bennett took a gamble on David Fifita, resulting in a strong season opener for Souths at Suncorp.
Wayne Bennett isn't a gambler by nature, but after Souths' dismal season in 2025, he knew he had to roll the dice.
Bennett took one of the biggest gambles of his long career, signing enigmatic back-rower David Fifita from the Titans.
But one round into the new season, Bennett has come up with an early contender for buy of the year.
Souths were very sharp at Suncorp, a ground they have always had trouble at, scoring a slick away win to start the season.
