The Brisbane Broncos have confirmed their leadership structure for the 2025 NRL season, with Adam Reynolds continuing as captain. New head coach Michael Maguire announced that Reynolds will be supported by a senior leadership group comprising Ben Hunt, Pat Carrigan, Payne Haas, and Kotoni Staggs.
Reynolds, who has captained the Broncos since 2022, expressed his pride in the role, stating, “I love being captain of this club, it’s a great honour, and means a lot to myself and my family. It feels like home now.” ([National Rugby League
Coach Maguire, who has a longstanding relationship with Reynolds from their time at the South Sydney Rabbitohs, emphasized the importance of leadership within the team. He remarked, “Everyone should be a leader at this club, from the youngest to the oldest, through our behaviours and our actions every day.”
The inclusion of Ben Hunt in the leadership group is particularly noteworthy. Hunt returns to the Broncos after a successful stint with the St George Illawarra Dragons, bringing with him a wealth of experience and leadership qualities. His addition is expected to strengthen the team’s leadership core as they aim to improve upon their performance in the upcoming season.
The leadership group’s composition reflects a blend of seasoned players and emerging leaders, all committed to guiding the Broncos toward success in the 2025 NRL season.
