Who Should Lead the Brisbane Broncos? Captaincy Debate Heats Up
The Brisbane Broncos are facing a crucial decision ahead of the 2025 NRL season: who will take on the captaincy role for one of rugby league’s most iconic clubs? With Adam Reynolds entering the twilight of his career, speculation is rife about his successor.
Reynolds has been a steadying influence since joining the Broncos in 2022, guiding the team back to prominence with his tactical brilliance and leadership. However, as his contract nears its end, the Broncos must identify a new leader to carry the team forward.
Several names have emerged as contenders. Payne Haas, the powerhouse forward, has demonstrated maturity and consistency on and off the field, making him a strong candidate. Patrick Carrigan, who has represented Queensland in State of Origin, is another frontrunner with his relentless work ethic and leadership qualities. Kotoni Staggs and Reece Walsh, dynamic backs with star power, are also in the mix but lack the experience of Haas and Carrigan.
Coach Kevin Walters emphasized the importance of selecting a leader who can inspire both on and off the field. “The next captain needs to embody what the Broncos stand for: resilience, pride, and excellence,” he said.
Fans eagerly await the club’s decision, knowing the choice will shape their team’s future.
