Cage lashed out at Bennett's naysayers — or one in particular — with an Instagram post on the weekend.
"People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones #just saying. The truth will hurt some people #staytuned #benikin," she wrote.
Ben Ikin hosts Fox League program NRL 360 and slammed Bennett for his breach during the week, saying: "I think it was so irresponsible, if anyone you think was going to set the right example for an entire code it would be the game's most experienced coach.
"Instead he turned up at a press conference today having been caught out … at one point he was confused, he was uncertain about the rules.
"I think he ended the press conference calling a journalist small minded.
"It felt a bit arrogant to me, he made the mistake and should have just fessed up and, you know, admitted almost to struggling living in the bubble and he broke out of it.
"Because there's no way known based on the phone calls I've made that there is not a single NRL employee, player, coach, whoever that is inside the bubble at the moment who does not know those rules."
Ikin wasn't the only outspoken critic of Bennett. Former Queensland State of Origin star Billy Moore also took aim.
"How is that possible? How can the most experienced coach in the competition not be aware of it?" Moore told Mark and Caroline on 92.7 Mix FM.
"Wayne Bennett went on the attack saying, 'I'm the victim here. The rules have changed, I didn't know the rules had changed'.
"I couldn't believe the arrogance that came through from Wayne Bennett ... almost like, 'The rules don't apply to me'.
"We saw the real character of Wayne Bennett, which is disappointing.
"What we saw, when attacked for doing something wrong, we saw the dark side of Wayne and I thought it was very poor."
Bennett missed the Rabbitohs' 28-10 win over his former side Brisbane on Friday night and he will also be absent when the Bunnies play North Queensland next weekend. His assistant Jason Demetriou is in charge in the interim.
