Brisbane Broncos chairman Karl Morris would welcome back super coach Wayne Bennett in some sort of capacity as he helps rebuild the club.ย
The Broncos are seeking a rebuild after the tumultuous Anthony Seibold era that ended in disarray, but the pair have had history after a bust-up in 2018, however, Morris would take Bennett if it helps transform the club.ย
โIf the board decided they wanted Wayne back, it would be considered,โ Morris told the Daily Telegraph.
โLook, if there was a serious proposal put forward for Wayne Bennett to come back to the Broncos, I will put it to the board.
โAt the end of the day, I donโt hold grudges.
โMy job as chairman is to do the best thing by the Broncos first and foremost. The board is there to provide governance on what is in the best interests of the Broncos and we view matters through that lens.
โFor me personalities are taken out. Itโs whatโs in the best interests of the club moving forward.โ
However, Bennett still has one year to go under his commitments to Souths, but the club has given him reassurances that if he does want to go early they won't stand in his way.ย
โIโm humbled by the fact we might all be big enough to move on from where we were two years ago,โ Bennett told the Daily Telegraph.
โI am happy at Souths, itโs a wonderful club and Iโve enjoyed my time here.
โThings with the Broncos are speculative at this stage. Right now, Iโm happy where I am and I enjoy coaching the team at South Sydney.โ
โI have felt the Broncosโ pain because of my 25 years there and my great love for the club.
โI value the wonderful men and women that I worked with at the Broncos for a long period of time, whether it was players or staff.
โWe all made a contribution to that club in our time there, not just me.
โMany directors were outstanding to work with.
โI appreciate what has been said about me (from Morris), but Iโll get on with my job at South Sydney and see what happens.โ
