Brisbane Broncos address personnel changes ahead of the 2027 NRL season

Following a difficult 2026 season that included an eight-game losing streak, the Brisbane Broncos are navigating a significant roster overhaul. The club finished in the bottom four of the NRL ladder, a year after winning the premiership, prompting coach Michael Maguire to focus on rebuilding the squad. Nine players are confirmed to be leaving, including long-term forward Payne Haas, who signed with the Rabbitohs for 2027. Mitchell Barnett joins the pack as a replacement, while the team looks to integrate young players like Xavier Willison and Tom Duffy. The departure of Adam Reynolds into retirement has created a vacancy in the halves, with Ezra Mam, Jonah Pezet, and Ben Hunt competing for the role. With limited incoming recruits, the club faces a transition period as it prepares for the upcoming season.
