Episode Details

The Brisbane Broncos, defending NRL premiers, are struggling in the 2026 season, losing their first two games. They face a challenging rematch against the Melbourne Storm, with a loss potentially leaving them winless. Historically, teams starting 0-3 have a tough time recovering, with only the Cowboys in 2015 managing to win the title. The Broncos are focusing on perspective, with Ezra Mam likening the season to a marathon. The team is making changes, including Gehamat Shibasaki moving to reserves and Ben Hunt starting at halfback in place of injured captain Adam Reynolds. Shane Webcke, a Broncos legend, offers hope from 1999 when they lost their first five games but still made the finals, ultimately winning the title the next year.
