    A bit of bother with te reo Maori for league super coach Wayne Bennett

    A bit of bother with te reo Maori for league super coach Wayne Bennett


    The Dolphins mentor says he's "renamed" Waikato-born centre Valynce Te Whare for his NRL debut tomorrow against the Sharks.

    Bennett - who will be taking charge of his 900th Premiership match - says "there is no way you can get that surname out in one mouthful"... so he's changed Valynce Te Whare's name to "Val Smith".

    Te Whare's been nicknamed "Val Meninga" by Redcliffe fans, for his stunning displays in the Queensland Cup last year.
