Win, lose or golden point, Wayne Bennett will make history on Sunday.
He will lay claim to being the greatest rugby league coach in history – and even earn the right to stand alongside the greatest in any team sport.
It is a huge call to make, given that in international terms rugby league is a minor sport at best. Ask a UK Premier League supporter who Wayne Bennett is, and you will no doubt get a blank look in reply.
Ask a US Major League Baseball, NFL or NBA fan what rugby league is, and chances are the response will be the same.
