Bennett to remain at Red Hill in 2019

Legendary coach Wayne Bennett will remain as the Broncos' head coach for the 2019 NRL season, after a meeting with Brisbane chief Karl Morris on Saturday morning.

According to The Courier-Mail, Bennett has been told by the Broncos' hierachy he will be staying at Red Hill next season, and has been guaranteed his position for 2019.

It was widely expected Bennett and Souths coach Anthony Seibold would swap clubs in 2019, given the pair are set to coach the Rabbitohs and Broncos respectively in 2020.

However, that won't be the case after Bennett's meeting on Saturday.

“I will be coaching the Broncos in 2019,” Bennett told The Courier-Mail.

“I’ve met with the chairman and we are now on the same page.

“I won’t be sacked, I’ve been given that assurance by Karl Morris.

“I’ve always intended on honouring my contract and I’m glad this all has been sorted. I’ll be at the Broncos next season.”
