Legendary coach Wayne Bennett has finally broken his silence on the possibility of returning to South Sydney, and it seems like the stars are aligning for a potential reunion.
Bennett, a master of the game, has admitted that he is "interested" in taking up the role at the Rabbitohs once again, following the sudden departure of Jason Demetriou.
Demetriou, who was once Bennett's right-hand man during their successful stint at Souths between 2019 and 2021, was shown the door after a series of disappointing results.
This move has opened up the door for Bennett to possibly make a triumphant return to the club where he led them to two preliminary finals and a grand final.
Having been at the helm for three seasons previously, Bennett has a deep connection to the South Sydney Rabbitohs and their passionate fan base.
His coaching prowess and ability to bring out the best in his players could be just what the struggling team needs to turn their fortunes around.
While Demetriou was groomed as Bennett's successor, the harsh reality of sport is that results ultimately determine one's fate.
From being at the top of the ladder to languishing at the bottom, the Rabbitohs are in desperate need of a change to reignite their season.
As the saying goes, in sport, it's not about how you start, but how you finish.
And if Bennett does indeed make a comeback to South Sydney, it could be just the spark they need to rise from the ashes and reclaim their former glory.
As they say in the rugby league world, it's not over until the final whistle blows, and Bennett could be the game-changer that the Rabbitohs have been searching for.
