NRL 2024: Brisbane Broncos hire ex-New Zealand rugby figure Michael Collins to review season capitulation

The Brisbane Broncos have turned to former New Zealand rugby union figure Michael Collins to conduct a comprehensive review of their 2024 NRL season after a disappointing conclusion. Despite a promising start to the year, the Broncos’ form dramatically collapsed in the latter half of the season, leading to their failure to secure a place in the finals.

Collins, with a wealth of experience in rugby, has been tasked with identifying the causes behind the team’s downturn. His review will cover both on-field tactics and off-field structures, including player management, training methods, and internal operations. The decision to bring in Collins signals the club’s intent to address deeper issues after a season of high expectations ended in underperformance.

 

The Broncos had shown signs of growth in the early stages of the year, giving fans hope for a successful campaign. However, inconsistent performances, coupled with injuries to key players, saw the team’s season unravel. The review by Collins aims to provide a fresh perspective on the factors that contributed to this decline and offer recommendations to avoid a repeat in 2025.

 

Brisbane’s head coach Kevin Walters, who led the team to the 2023 NRL Grand Final, is expected to play a significant role in responding to Collins’ findings. The Broncos’ leadership remains committed to rebuilding and regaining the form that made them competitive just a season ago.

 

This review will be crucial for the Broncos, as the club looks to use the off-season to make necessary adjustments and return stronger in the next NRL campaign.
