What is the history of the Brisbane Broncos?
The NRL club entered the competition – then known and the New South Wales Rugby League – in 1988.
They have since gone on to become one of Australia’s most successful sporting teams, winning six grand finals (1992, 1993, 1997 (Super League), 1998, 2000 and 2006).
The club endured its toughest times during the Covid-hit season of 2020, finishing last for the first time in history.
The Broncos recovered to nearly claim the 2023 decider, pipped only by a late Panthers surge.
The club has delivered a string of big-name rugby league talents, including Wally Lewis, Allan Langer, Darren Lockyer, Wendell Sailor, Reece Walsh, Shane Webcke, Payne Haas and Kevin Walters, the coach who was dumped in September 2024.
The club has also encountered and overcome a range of off-field issues, including shocks and scandals, as listed here.
The club’s inaugural coach was legendary mentor Wayne Bennett.
The 2024 captain is Adam Reynolds, who led the club to a season-opening 20-10 loss to the Roosters in Las Vegas before they bounced back in Round 2.
After a strong surge in form leading into the Origin series, the club crashed back outside of the top eight amid a losing streak, sparking supremo Dave Donaghy to address the collapse.
