Brisbane Broncos forward Jordan Riki is set to leave the club at the end of 2027 due to a falling out with coach Michael Maguire. As Riki approaches the end of his contract, he is expected to explore opportunities with rival teams starting November 1. It has been suggested that his relationship with Maguire is strained, leading to concerns about his future with the Broncos. After a disappointing season that saw the Broncos slide to the bottom four, Riki’s potential departure adds to the challenges facing the team heading into the next campaign. The Melbourne Storm and New Zealand Warriors are mentioned as possible destinations for Riki, though the Storm has denied interest. Riki has made 135 appearances for Brisbane and has represented New Zealand once.
