Brisbane's difficult season continued on Saturday with a 30-6 loss to Newcastle, during which retiring captain Adam Reynolds suffered a concussion. The match, described as 'crazy' by commentators, saw two Broncos players sent to the sin bin.
Reynolds, who had announced his retirement earlier this year, was forced from the field after a head knock. The Broncos had already been eliminated from finals contention last weekend, but the team hoped to send their captain off on a high note.
The loss leaves Brisbane with a 10-12 record for the season, missing the finals for the second consecutive year. Newcastle's victory keeps their slim finals hopes alive.
Reynolds' concussion adds to a list of injuries for the Broncos, who have struggled all season. The club will now focus on rebuilding for 2027.
