When Wayne Bennett calls and offers you a job, it's pretty hard to say 'no'. And so Steve Antonelli will join Souths next season as defence coach. Antonelli brings a wealth of experience to the Bunnies and rounds off a well balanced coaching team with the legend Bennett and interim coach Ben Hornby. "I can't wait - it will be a great challenge," said Antonelli, currently an assistant at the Eels. "It was great to hear from Wayne again and I wasn't about to say no." A former Australian Schoolboys rugby union player, he switched to rugby league and signed with the Panthers in 1985. But his true calling was coaching and he has an extensive resume including stints at Canberra, Parramatta, Canterbury and at Souths in 2021, where he first met Bennett.
