Lee Briers, the attacking coach for the Brisbane Broncos, has turned down the opportunity to take the helm in the Super League once more.

League Express has learned that Briers, who supported Matt Peet at the Wigan Warriors during the team’s 2022 Challenge Cup run, was being eyed by Hull FC, but he wants to stick with the Broncos.

Although Briers’ deal with the Queenslanc club expires at the end of the 2025 NRL season, he has already played a significant role in Brisbane’s successful offensive comebacks in 2023 and 2024.

The former halfback for Warrington Wolves had previously expressed his goal to become a head coach.

Briers previously stated on the BBC 5 Live podcast, “With coaching, there aren’t many jobs out there but my ambition is to be a head coach whether that be in the NRL or Super League.”

“All I can do is continue to gain experience and bide my time till that opportunity arises. I could spend the rest of my life working as an assistant; I’m not in a rush.

However, I’m prepared for the role of head coach right now, whether it’s in a few years or not. I’m learning how to manage and I adore my job at the Broncos.

“I won’t just stroll into any job; the job needs to fit me. I’m at the ideal place to learn right now, so it has to be the right one.

It’s unclear where Hull FC will go from here, as Paul Rowley, the head coach of Salford Red Devils, also declined to join the Black and Whites.
