As they did in 2009, the Broncos won the match, albeit in extra time, thus ending the Dragons' coaching career of Wayne Bennett. It was also in exactly the same stage in 2008 when his coaching stint at the Broncos came to an end, at the hands of the Melbourne Storm, in a controversial semi-final. It would not be until 2015 that Bennett would win a finals match at Suncorp Stadium.
