Wayne Bennett has called on Brisbane's hierarchy to make a public declaration of their plans for the club's coaching future beyond 2019 while warning speculation on his future will not go away until they do.

Bennett fronted the media on Wednesday at Broncos HQ where he answered a raft of questions about his future at the club he has coached with distinction for 25 years.

NRL.com understands Bennett has asked for a one‑year extension to his deal to coach Brisbane in 2020 but that request has not been granted.

The board is understood to be waiting until the end of the season to make a definitive call but Bennett, who has coached Brisbane to six title wins, remains uncertain whether a seventh premiership would be enough to keep him coaching at the club into his 70s.

The Broncos will take on the Sharks at 9.50pm tomorrow.
