The Brisbane Broncos have officially unveiled their highly anticipated 2025 roster as they prepare for the upcoming NRL season. With a mix of experienced veterans and exciting new talent, the Broncos are looking to make a strong push for the premiership this year, underlining their ambitions for a return to the top.
Key changes have been made to the roster, with some significant signings and departures. The Broncos’ recruitment strategy has focused on adding depth to key positions while also maintaining a solid core of players who can drive the team forward.
One of the most notable additions to the 2025 roster is the arrival of former Penrith Panthers prop, James Fisher-Harris. The 27-year-old brings a wealth of experience, having been part of the Panthers’ dominant forward pack that helped them claim multiple premierships. His toughness, leadership, and ability to dominate the middle will be crucial for the Broncos as they look to build a more formidable pack for the upcoming season. Fisher-Harris’ signing is seen as a major boost for the Broncos’ forward depth, which was a key area of focus during the offseason.
In addition to Fisher-Harris, the Broncos have also secured the services of rising star Xavier Coates, who returns to Brisbane after a successful stint with the Melbourne Storm. Coates’ blistering pace and try-scoring ability will add another dynamic to the Broncos’ backline, providing an extra attacking threat on the wing. His addition is expected to provide more speed and precision on the edges, complementing the attacking game of players like Adam Reynolds and Herbie Farnworth.
The Broncos have also made some tough decisions regarding departures, with several players moving on to other clubs. However, the club remains focused on continuity and cohesion within the squad. While changes are inevitable, the Broncos have emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced roster with a mix of youth and experience.
Veteran captain Adam Reynolds, alongside other experienced players like Payne Haas and Kotoni Staggs, will continue to lead the team in 2025. Reynolds, in particular, is expected to play a pivotal role in guiding the younger players and ensuring the Broncos maintain a high standard of performance throughout the season.
Head coach Kevin Walters, who will continue to lead the Broncos in 2025, expressed confidence in the new-look squad. “We’ve worked hard to build a balanced roster, and we’re excited to see what these players can achieve together. We’ve got a great blend of experience and youth, and we’re ready to make an impact this season.”
With the new roster in place, the Brisbane Broncos are hoping to push for a top-four finish and, ultimately, a shot at the NRL premiership in 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the season to see how the fresh additions will gel with the established stars and whether the team can deliver on their potential.
