Coach Wayne Bennett of the Rabbitohs
Super League legend Lee Briers is on the verge of a new coaching chapter in the NRL, with reports from Australia indicating he will join Wayne Bennett at the South Sydney Rabbitohs next season.
Briers has quickly established himself as one of the most esteemed coaches in the NRL, significantly contributing to the revival of the Brisbane Broncos under the guidance of Kevin Walters. His success in Australia has sparked speculation about a potential return to the Super League as a head coach, with Briers being linked to several vacant coaching positions since his move Down Under.
Despite the allure of returning to the Super League, Briers has opted to extend his stay in Australia. He is set to join forces with the legendary Wayne Bennett at the South Sydney Rabbitohs, beginning in 2025. This move underscores Briers’ growing influence and reputation within the NRL coaching ranks.
Briers’ decision to remain in Australia and work alongside Bennett, one of the most respected figures in rugby league, highlights his commitment to furthering his coaching career at the highest level. As Briers prepares to embark on this new opportunity with the Rabbitohs, the rugby league community will be watching closely to see how his expertise and experience continue to shape the future of the NRL.
