Brisbane might still be reeling from their heartbreaking NRL grand final loss to the Panthers, but a visit from one of the greatest athletes of all time has boosted the team’s spirits heading into the 2024 season.

After a stellar 2023 and run into the decider, the Broncos looked set to snap a 17-year premiership drought, but were humbled in the dying stages by Penrith superstar Nathan Cleary.

With a number of young players in their squad and some big stars moving on, there will be plenty of pressure on the likes of Reece Walsh and Ezra Mam to replicate the success and continue to improve on and off the field.
