Wayne Bennett is due to arrive at South Sydney as early as Tuesday.

However, it was business as usual as the senior players took to the field for a pre-season session at Redfern Oval on Monday morning.

The kicker is there was no one around to call the shots.

Anthony Seibold cleaned out his desk on Thursday afternoon and was unveiled as Brisbane’s head coach on Monday morning — the result of an ugly few days of rugby league drama.

He then led Broncos training on Monday afternoon, making his stamp on the club in scorching conditions in Brisbane.

Already the team had ball in hand and began working on Seibold’s game plan.

Meanwhile, South Sydney’s biggest stars, including Sam Burgess and Damien Cook, showed up for training with no one to run the drills aside from assistant Steve Millward and development coach Willie Peters.

Seibold confirmed he would be taking staffers Ben Cross, Steve Gentle and Paul Devlin to Brisbane with him, and the club have not yet replaced assistant Dave Furner.

Until Bennett and his reinforcements — believed to be Jeremy Hickmans and Jason Demetriou — arrive at South Sydney, it appears the millions of dollars worth of talent will be slugging it out without anybody in charge.

However, Seibold claimed in an explosive interview with The Sunday Telegraph that Bennett had rearranged their pre-season camp.

Could he have been calling the shots for today’s session from afar?
