Brisbane Broncos make shock recruitment call

Whilst other NRL sides are going all out for new blood in a marquee fashion for 2023 and beyond, that isn’t the case at the Brisbane Broncos.

The Broncos have made the shock call not chase any marquee signings for the 2023 season, according to Fox Sports.

And, for Brisbane’s head of football Ben Ikin, that is the future.

“I would say to you right now – ideally, we won’t have to go to market at all. That is the goal,” Ikin said.

“Between the top 30 and development list, we’ve got a core group of players here that we can build our future around. We would only want to go to market in an extraordinary situation.

“We want to invest in the guys we’ve got, who we think are very capable and have got stacks of improvement in front of them.

“We’ve had a stack of churn through staff in key roles and a stack of churn in the roster. That churn, no matter how well you try and manage it, creates instability and uncertainty which undermines performance.

“We are trying to move away from that.”
