The Brisbane Broncos have been battling swirling rumors of Ben Ikin's potential comeback to the club following Kevin Walters' departure as coach.
Ikin, who famously parted ways with the Broncos due to disagreements with the former coach in 2023, took up a role as the CEO of Queensland Rugby League.
Reports suggest that Ikin and Walters didn't quite see eye-to-eye during their time together at the club, leading to Ikin's departure.
However, whispers of a possible return have intensified since Walters' sacking two weeks ago.
Speculation reached fever pitch after Ikin was a no-show at the NRL grand final, where he was expected to attend the State Championship final.
Instead, chairman Bruce Hatcher represented the QRL and handed out the trophy to the Newtown Jets.
With Dave Donaghy currently holding the CEO position at Brisbane, rumors suggest that there's a strong push for Ikin to return and shake things up at his former club.
As the Broncos navigate these uncertain times, fans eagerly await to see if Ikin will make a triumphant comeback to the fold.
