The Brisbane Broncos travel to Sydney to face the Roosters in Friday night NRL action as their on‑field fortunes have collapsed from champions to a struggling side. Former Australian great Andrew Johns said the Broncos’ dynasty hopes are ruined and coach Brad Madge now faces sweeping roster changes after pundits exposed deep squad flaws.
Meanwhile, the London Broncos, who play in the Betfred Championship, published one medical report on Friday 26 June and used the release to confirm a key recruitment. The club said that Warrington Wolves prop Joe Philbin is set to join them for the 2027 season, a move confirmed by the Broncos in a BBC statement.
