Brisbane Broncos team list, latest squad news for Round 5 image

Michael Maguire’s reign at Brisbane got underway in impressive fashion in the opening round as they put the Sydney Roosters to the sword.

However, the Broncos were then shocked in the nation's capital by Canberra to see them hit with a harsh dose of reality. They bounced back to winning ways against North Queensland and the Dolphins to rise up the ladder. 

The powerhouse outfit will now take on the Wests Tigers as they try to claim their fourth win in a row.
