Brisbane Broncos news
There was not much entertainment on show in the NRL season opener between the Eels and the Broncos. The Broncos methodically ground away at the Eels to come away with a 17-4 win against an Eels team that was desperately missing the influence of a halfback. The game made headlines for what happened in the…
News Limited is reporting that Newcastle Knights back Dane Gagai wants to follow Wayne Bennett to the Brisbane Broncos, even though they sacked him two years ago for disciplinary reasons. Gagai’s move follows a trend of players that want to “head home”, and its is something I have no problem with. If that is what…
News Limited is reporting that Ben Hunt is willing more than willing to test his value on the player market rather than locking himself into a long term deal with the Brisbane Broncos ahead of time. Hunt could sign a long term deal to stay at the Brisbane Broncos any time he wishes, but if…
Over the last few weeks I’ve been shocked by the way some Brisbane Broncos supporters and sections of the Brisbane media have talked about the days when players all wanted to play for the Brisbane Broncos. You would think that the Broncos were the team everyone had to play for. That players were climbing over…
News Limited is reporting that some bookmakers have installed the Brisbane Broncos as the favourites to win the 2015 premiership. Keeping in mind that it is good marketing for a bookmaker to toss something up like this and have it reported by the press, but it does make me wonder how people think the Broncos…
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know… Roy Masters of the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that a phone call from Wayne Bennett to News Corporation boss Lachlan Murdoch has paved the way for Bennett to return as the Brisbane Broncos coach in 2015. Master writes that current Broncos coach Anthony Griffin was…
The Brisbane Broncos have dropped Jack Reed, Daniel Vidot and Corey Oats after all three players broke team rules stating they were not allowed to go out during the week of a game. All three players will play in the Queensland Cup this week. While it’s not great that players have broken team rules, it…
Brisbane Broncos veteran Corey Parker has backed coach Anthony Griffin and been shockingly blunt in saying the Broncos have moved on from the days of Wayne Bennett. Parker said that he and Justin Hodges both believes Griffin is the best man to coach the Broncos. I realise the industry is a results-driven industry but I…
The Hull Daily Mail is reporting that the Brisbane Broncos are chasing Hull KR fullback Greg Eden. Eden is currently on loan to the Salford Red Devils. While he is only 23 years old he is a lower quality Super League player and not even close to NRL level. For a while Eden carried the…
The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that the Brisbane Broncos will make a massive offer to Daly Cherry-Evans to join the club in 2016. While the Broncos may be dealing with a salary cap investigation, rises in the cap coupled with their unmatched ability to put together massive third party deals with sponsors in Brisbane…
The salary cap investigation involving the Brisbane Broncos has extended to the Broncos Leagues club. The licensed club, for which Andrew Gee was a director until he resigned from his post there recently, will be looked over as part of a forensic investigation into the salary cap irregularities the Broncos Football club recently alerted the…
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that the Brisbane Broncos are under investigation for possible salary cap irregularities after the resignation of the head of football operations Andrew Gee. The Broncos have alerted the NRL to issues regarding the recent recruitment of players. The resignation of Andrew Gee suggests that something very serious is about to…
The Brisbane Broncos have re-signed a couple of their veteran players, handing Corey Parker and Justin Hodges two year contract extensions. Parker’s re-signing is a no brainer but I have to say I’m a little surprised that Hodges was re-signed. Over the last few years Hodges has battled a number of injury problems that have…
For 119 years Rugby League games have pretty much ended the same way. The siren sounds and on the next stoppage in play the game is over. Now, because of one mistake that came down to fractions of a second, Brisbane Bronco’s coach Anthony Griffin has made the suggestion that as soon as the siren…
The Brisbane Broncos have announced their 2014 Auckland 9’s Squad. Ben Barba will make his big screen debut for the club at the Auckland 9’s while Corey Parker will captain the side. The Broncos have named a fairly strong lineup. Check it out: Ben Barba Josh Hoffman Dale Copley Alex Glenn Stewart Mills Kodi Nikorima…
Ben Barba will join the Brisbane Broncos on a three year deal starting next season. The Bulldogs and Broncos had been in negotiations in regards to the terms of Barba’s release. A press conference will be held shortly to announce the deal. I will update this post with new details as they come to hand.
Ben Barba’s move back to Queensland for family reasons is set to be a very lucrative one… The Brisbane Sunday Mail is reporting that the Brisbane Broncos are ready to table a four year deal Ben Barba that will also see the club pay compensation to the Canterbury Bulldogs for the right have the 2012…
The Newcastle Knights currently cling on to 8th spot on the NRL ladder with four other teams chasing them. One of those teams is the Brisbane Broncos who currently sit in 12th place on the ladder, 4 competition points behind the Knights. A loss tonight would see the Broncos fall 6 points behind 8th spot…
Brisbane Brincos legend Darren Lockyer has urged the Brisbane Broncos to do everything they can to get Cameron Smith to the club. Lockyer’s call comes as the Brisbane Broncos struggle this season and look to be in danger of missing the finals series. The Melbourne Storm recently started to negotiate with Smith to keep him…
Scott Prince will be playing for the Brisbane Broncos next season after securing a release from the Gold Coast Titans. Prince’s contract is for two years and its is an interesting signing by the Broncos because they have Peter Wallace and Corey Norman who play in the halves for them last season. I’ve said a…
So here we are, the last weekend of big NRL games for the season. I say the last weekend of big games for a reason. Next week, next week is more than a big game. Next week will be life changing. We are now down to four teams and I have to say, I liked…
It was the outcome I expected, and yet, I still feel as though this hasn’t fully played out yet. After getting a low altitude chopper ride down from Brisbane to Sydney yesterday to avoid issues with air pressure that can be an issue with his injury, Darren Lockyer has this morning ruled himself out of…
Jack Reed is like a gift from the Rugby League Gods. Reed is a 23 year old center for the Brisbane Broncos. This time last year, he didn’t think he had much of a career ahead of him as far as Rugby League went. Perseverance paid off though and today he is a top performer…
I always felt as though Wayne Bennett left the Brisbane Broncos is a fairly average position. Basically when he left, the club needed to completely rebuild itself. It’s highest paid player was getting on and would never be around once the youngsters kicked on. Thats not Bennett’s fault, that’s just how Rugby League works. The…
I’m not going to talk about how good of a player Darren Lockyer was. If you have eyes in your head, you could see what he did. You don’t need me to talk about how good he was! Last season there was a lot of talk that the Brisbane Broncos wanted to groom Lockyer to…
Remember last week when I said everyone in Brisbane was going batshit crazy? Well it seems the fun hasn’t stopped yet! Ivan Henjak was sensationally fired last night a few weeks out from the kickoff to the 2011 season. He will be replaced by assistant coach Anthony Griffin, who has only been given a deal…
If your city was flooded for a week, you’d probably go a little bat shit crazy too. Thats the only way I can rationalize what has been happening in the Brisbane Rugby League scene recently with all sorts of things happening that make no sense at all. The randomness, the bitter feuds, the weird stories,…
In 2010 the Rugby League media in Australia has gone bat shit crazy. Between the formation of the Independent Commission, the Melbourne Storm Salary Cap saga, players demanding higher wages and Greg Inglis deciding he wants to live in Brisbane, the media has basically had a nervous breakdown in this part of the world. You…
Darren Lockyer is upset. Darren Lockyer doesn’t like whats going on. Darren Lockyer wants things changed. Darren Lockyer is emo! The Sydney Telegraph is reporting today that Darren Lockyer Thinks The Dragons Deal For Mark Gasnier is unfair. He doesn’t like the fact that the Dragons are looking to sign Gasnier for around $50,000 for the remainder…
The Brisbane Broncos will face off with the Melbourne Storm for a place in the NRL Grand Final after seeing off the St George/Illawarra Dragons in Brisbane. The Broncos come out breathing fire and really put the Dragons on the back foot early. With the Broncos forwards stepping up, their star backline was able to…
