Brisbane Broncos face historic premiership defence slump
The Brisbane Broncos are facing a historically poor premiership defence following a 40-6 loss to the Warriors. This defeat marks the team's 15th loss of the season, the highest number of defeats for any defending premier in 118 years of rugby league history.
Immortal Andrew Johns criticized the roster's commitment, suggesting the players lack motivation. Coach Michael Maguire dismissed such concerns during a brief post-game press conference. The team also faces significant injury concerns, with Reece Walsh awaiting results from an ankle operation, while playmakers Braydon Trindall and Luke Metcalf deal with shoulder and hamstring injuries respectively.
