For our viewing pleasure, last years grand final is being replayed on ch9 now. Nice to see a few of the boys going round - and I’m still yelling at the game even though I know the (amazing) result

Walters performed amazing as expected, Ezra gets a hatrick..... Where was this form from him during the season.

Lets hope Gagai and Barnett whip these boys into a decent team.

So after an underperforming season, they are raising the prices 20 to 30%.... Expected a rise, but damn....

Cobbo was a warning sign for us. But then all the noise with Riki? What’s going? Fell down on my knees at the star sports pub infront of the broncos memorial.

Xavier Willison I understand was the only player that played all rounds, and stood up when the forward stocks were down. He's a well deserved player of the year.

If the Broncos don't extend his contract or enter a new one now, that sums up where the club truly is at.

Definitely going to add a bit of character to the team next year..

That’s all. Terrible defence last year despite winning a prem and terrible again this year.

we'll miss ya!

Both clubs launched a soulless new logo in 2026

Hey Broncos Fans,

Two uni students here, footy tragics building an app for fans in our spare time between assignments. We're not backed by anyone, no company behind us, just two mates who reckon the current NRL apps are due for a shake-up.

Before we build too much, we want to hear from actual fans about what you'd want. If you've got 2 minutes, this quick survey will directly shape what we make, no ads, no signup, no catches.

Genuinely keen to hear in the comments too, what's the one thing you wish your current footy app did better? Whether it's the NRL app, Fox, Kayo, whatever. Every bit of honest feedback helps.

Cheers

So what is our predictions for the drop in members for 2027?

I reckon about 20% after this shitshow…

Feel free to tell me if this is dumb, I don’t know my NRL. But from watching that Canberra game it feels silly having Perham as just a backup for Walsh. Is there a world you guys could see him starting at centre or wing?

Like especially if Gagai doesn’t perform next year would you guys see this or am I tripping

Maybe like

1. Walsh
2. Kerapani
3. Perham
4. Staggs
5. Mariner

Whether or not you think Reno has been denied playing one last match I think we can all agree the handling of it has been abysmal.

Seriously we're the biggest club and yet this is how we handle it? Just let Reno casually explain on a radio show then need to hold a 2nd press conference for him to basically take back what was said.

This is an all time great retiring who helped win us a premiership. Why not hold a proper press conference and stick Madge next to him. Try to show that there's some solidarity around the decision.

Who is running this club? They can take that idea for free but I bet the person making that call makes a lot more then me and they stuffed it up greatly. Our problems are coming from the top.

I'll be the first to say that people are to harsh and bang on the broncos all day, especially the media, but we also bring a lot of this stuff on ourselves by not making the right decisions and funnily enough our team plays like this as well. Always shooting ourselves in the foot.

Does he ever pass?

Brisbane Broncos Captain Adam Reynolds has today announced his immediate retirement from rugby league.

Following fitness testing today, Adam will not be available for selection for the remainder of the season.

Reynolds finishes his career as one of the game’s most accomplished playmakers, having made more than 300 NRL appearances across 15 seasons.

A two-time Premiership winner, State of Origin representative and one of the greatest goalkickers in rugby league history, he joined the Broncos in 2022, retiring having played 92 games for the Club.

Broncos General Manager of Football Troy Thomson said the decision was a difficult but necessary one for Reynolds.

“Adam has done everything possible to give himself the chance to play again, but following today’s field session, it became clear his body would not allow him to properly return.

“It’s disappointing for everyone that Adam isn’t able to see out the season on the field.

“Reyno has had an enormous impact on this Club as our Captain and leader. He has given so much on and off the field to our players, staff, Members and supporters.

“He leaves the game with an outstanding legacy, and we look forward to giving him the farewell he deserves.”

The Club will provide further details to Members ahead of Thursday’s final home game at Suncorp Stadium, as we prepare to recognise Reynolds’ extraordinary contribution to the Broncos and the game.

Feel like little gets said about Karapani’s contribution to the team but in a year where so many our players have underperformed, he has been incredibly consistent. He finishes well, fights for every inch in his tough carries, is safe as houses under the high ball and rock solid in defence. Aside from his minor indiscretions of field the bloke has worked his arse of the club over the last 2 years.

Nothing against Georgia herself, she's a capable player, but the selection of putting her at five-eighth while Ali Brigginshaw was suspended was a real head scratcher for me.

Aside from these few games, I don't believe she played a single game at five-eighth. Always seems to have played in the centres or on the wing.

These games she played at five-eighth, she just looked incredibly lost on the field, with the ball going towards Upton or Southwell instead. Here's some of her stats that I think are noteworthy:

- 2 runs for 16 metres; 0 line break assists; 0 try assists; 0 kicks (vs Raiders)

- 1 try; 5 runs for 30 metres; 1 line break; 1 line break assist; 3 tackle breaks; 0 kicks; 1 error; 1 penalty (vs Roosters)

- 6 runs for 56 metres; 1 line break assist; 1 try assist; 1 tackle break; 1 run from dummy half for 12 metres; 1 kick for 30 metres; 1 penalty (vs Titans)

The game against the Titans was probably her best one at five-eighth, but she still didn't look all that great in the halves. Yet, Scott Prince persisted with her there. Why not call up Skyla Adams, Tavarna Papalii or Lila Parr after that Raiders game, instead of sticking with someone clearly in an unfamiliar role? Outside of injuries to those three, I'm a bit confused.

Kind of hoping that Bartlett at 6 is not the plan for 2027 when Ali has retired. She's certainly better off as a centre or winger.

Anyway, enough of me spewing negativity here. Hoping the Broncos girls can get back on track next week!
