Broncos Look to Maintain Momentum at Suncorp Against Wests

The Broncos will run out at Suncorp on Saturday night, feeling they are looking like championship contenders under Madge Maguire but also knowing that there’s plenty of scope for improvement.

The 12-20 win last week against the Dolphins in front of a soggy 44,278 fans, was the result of one try for each team in the second half — Gehemat Shibasaki grabbing his second after opening the scoring in the 11th minute, Jake Averillo going over with five minutes to go for the Dolphins.

Kotoni Staggs made a big impression on his first game back, running 122 metres from 15 possessions and scoring a crucial try. Haas and Carrigan ran 142m and 114m respectively. But Shibasaki’s 158m from 17 possessions was a massive shift. Payne Haas led the tackle count with 41, Jensen 38, Paix had 36 and Carrigan had 35.

The Broncos carry a very strong record against the Wests Tigers, 23 wins with 9 losses and 1 draw over the 33 matches played, and currently sit third with a 3 wins, 1 loss record. The Wests Tigers have shown better form this season than recent years and carry a 2-2 record, including a very narrow loss last week to the Warriors, 24-26. In that game Terrell May’s try with 20 minutes left was ruled out by the bunker for dropping the ball over the line, that would have put them two scores ahead with 20 minutes left.

Wests will miss Jarome Luai who got a one match suspension from a Grade 2 careless high tackle charge against the Warriors last week. Adam Doeihi comes back after a groin injury.

Last week Terrell May ran 152 metres and delivered three offloads as well as making 48 tackles for Wests.

It’s a game the Broncos will expect to win, but Benji Marshall will feel his side have a sniff.

Reds Dig Deep to Overcome Force and Top the Table — A Statement Win in Brisbane

The Queensland Reds gave their fans something to cheer about on March 29, grinding out a thrilling 28-24 victory over the Western Force at Suncorp Stadium in a performance that was equal parts grit, flair and composure under pressure.

It wasn’t always pretty. In fact, at times, it was downright scrappy. But in a match full of twists, momentum shifts and standout individual efforts, the Reds showed the sort of resilience that hasn’t always been their hallmark in recent years. The reward? Top spot on the Super Rugby Pacific ladder for the first time since 2012 — a milestone that carries real weight for this resurgent side.

A See-Sawing First Half

The Reds burst out of the blocks with a try to Filipo Daugunu inside the opening five minutes, capitalising on a smart lineout play and catching the Force flat-footed. But the visitors answered in spectacular fashion through front-rower Tom Robertson, who galloped nearly half the field like a runaway back-rower to level the scores and silence the Brisbane faithful.

From there, it was end-to-end action. Young flyer Heremaia Murray crossed next for the Reds, only for Carlo Tizzano — rapidly becoming one of the competition’s most consistent performers — to dot down twice for the Force and push his season tally to a record-breaking 10 tries for a flanker.

Dre Pakeho also found the line for Queensland in an impressive outing, standing in for the injured Hunter Paisami, and Tom Lynagh’s flawless goal-kicking saw the sides locked 21-all at halftime.

The Second-Half Slog

The fireworks slowed in the second stanza as both sides tightened up defensively. A penalty goal from Force playmaker Ben Donaldson nudged the visitors ahead 24-21 with just over 20 minutes to play.

Things looked shaky for the Reds when they lost John Bryant to the bin in the 67th minute, reducing them to 14 men. But rather than wilt, they found another gear — and their general, Tate McDermott, was the man to step up.

Returning from the bench, McDermott sniped off a rolling maul in the 72nd minute to cross for what proved to be the match-winner. Lynagh’s conversion iced the game, and the Reds closed out the final minutes with poise and discipline.

What It Means

This was more than just a win. It was a statement.

Without several of their regular leaders — Harry Wilson and Fraser McReight were rested, and Liam Wright remains sidelined with a shoulder injury — the Reds still managed to steady the ship. Ryan Smith, handed the captain’s armband for the first time, was a calming presence in the pack and stood tall when the side needed direction.

The win also showcased the Reds’ depth. Pakeho impressed with both ball in hand and in defence, while Lynagh’s radar boot was vital in such a tight contest. It’s becoming increasingly clear that this isn’t a team relying on a handful of stars — it’s a squad with options, hunger, and belief.

Still Work to Do

Of course, not everything went to plan. The lineout was a glaring issue, with at least 10 opportunities either lost or misfiring. Against stronger sides, those mistakes will hurt. Coach Les Kiss will be keen to address that before they face stiffer tests in the coming rounds.

But when it mattered, the Reds found a way to win — and that’s something they’ve struggled with in seasons past. There’s a steel to this group now, and that bodes well as they head into the back half of the season.

For the Fans

For long-suffering Reds supporters, this season is beginning to feel like a return to the glory days. The team has a spark again — a blend of youth and experience, a game plan that suits their strengths, and players who are standing up in big moments.

Sitting on top of the table isn’t just symbolic — it’s a reminder that the Reds can be contenders again.

And with McDermott back in form, Lynagh kicking with confidence, and a forward pack that doesn’t mind getting dirty, there’s every reason for Queensland fans to believe this side is only just getting started.

Reds Hoping to Extend Unbeaten Home Record Against the Force Since 2016

The Queensland Reds go into their home clash against the Western Force, with a 5-1 win/loss record, currently 3rd in the Super Rugby Pacific 2025 ladder and having not lost against the Force at Suncorp since 2016.

Last week’s win at the Highlanders 23-29 was a crucial momentum builder that will give them huge confidence to take on the Force, who have won three and lost three this season, with a visit to ladder leaders, the Chiefs, looming on the horizon for the Reds next week.

A 20-12 down (tries by Asiata and Thomas) at the 56-minute mark against the Highlanders. A Filipo Daugunu try and then another from a build-up of pressure, by Lachie Anderson, got them ahead before a very cheeky finish by Daugunu, finding a tiny gap underneath the goal-line ruck, to put the ball down and put his side two scores ahead. The Reds only conceding a penalty goal into overtime despite the Highlanders having 73% of the possession in the last 10 minutes.

Superior kicking from hand was a major contribution to the Reds victory. The Highlanders won the attack battle, running 496 metres to 301 by the Reds,
from 127 carries to 111 in favour of the Highlanders. Tom Lynagh and co kicked 733 metres from hand, the Highlanders only 406 metres. Lynagh is building pressure on Noah Lolesio for the Wallabies number 10 jersey. The Reds lost the breakdown battle and the lineout count (three lineouts lost against none lost by the Highlanders). So, overall the stats don’t paint the picture of a winning game.

Ryan Smith will be handed the skipper’s armband. The Reds will go into the clash without Harry Wilson and Fraser McReight who are both rested. Liam Wright is injured and Tate McDermott will make his comeback from the bench. Kalani Thomas will start again at halfback. Les Kiss being very pleased with his performance against the Highlanders.

Alex Hodgman and Massimo de Lutiis will start against the Force, having come off the bench in the strong finish against the Highlanders.

The Force travel to Suncorp after a 52-15 dominant win against Fijian Drua. The Fijians, having proven to be very competitive against some of the best sides in the comp, including being the only team to beat the table toppers, the Chiefs. Repeating that performance would certainly prove a major challenge for Les Kiss and his Reds team.

Simon Cron, the Force Coach, said he was delighted Dylan Pietsch was back after injury.

Nick Champion de Crespigny also returns at Flanker and Marley Pearce gets the loosehead start.

“We were more connected against the Drua and we need to bring that again” he said.

Two former Reds players, Hamish Stewart and Mac Grealy, will start for the Force against their old club.

The game sets up as an arm wrestle, with the Reds hoping to maintain dominance at Suncorp over the Force.

Kick off at Suncorp on Saturday night, 29 March, is 6:35 p.m.

The Battle of Brisbane – Dolphins vs Broncos

The Broncos will start this home game, cunningly disguised as an away game, with great momentum. Suncorp will be packed and Kotoni Staggs will return to the starting lineup after his hip flexor injury, replacing Deine Mariner who has a night in the reserves. Payne Haas looked brutal against the Cowboys last week. The Cowboys defence didn’t seem to be too keen to get in his way for the crucial break that led to his late try.

Reece Walsh appears to have plenty of upside scope, a few errors last week coupled with flashes of brilliance. Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt running the game efficiently when it mattered. It wasn’t a flashy Broncos win but they did enough to resign a struggling Cowboys outfit to a winless 0-3 record.

That’s where the Dolphins currently sit, winless 0-3. They will be desperate to inflict a wound to the title chasing Broncos. They put out the same starting lineup as lost to the Wests Tigers last week.

The Broncos should be motivated by the 40-6 hammering they suffered from The Hammer and co last season at Suncorp.

Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf will be looking for an “Originesque Start” to the game as the Dolphins have yet to break the 20-point mark this season, 14 points against the Rabbits and 12 against the Knights, followed by 18 against the Wests Tigers, is slim pickings in attack, against a Broncos team with so many attacking options.

Madge Maguire’s men have not fully hit their straps yet. The Cowboys game saw the visitors run more metres than the Broncos, and frankly the game was closer than it should have been.

Yet to have started with a 2-1 win/loss record puts them in a strong position with Wests Tigers at home next week and the Roosters at home the following week.

Broncos fans will be looking for a big first half in defence, and for their huge weaponry to build attacking dominance as the game goes on.

Newstead Brewing Closes After 13 Years, Last Man Standing Steps In

Brisbane’s craft beer scene is undergoing a major transition following the closure of Newstead Brewing Co’s Milton headquarters. After 13 years in operation, the long-standing independent brewery recently shut its Castlemaine Street venue, marking the end of an era for local beer enthusiasts.

While some initially speculated that Cyclone Alfred played a role, the brewery’s decision to shut down was rooted in the lingering effects of the devastating floods that hit Brisbane in 2022.

“We could have been forgiven for closing the doors after the floods of 2022 and the experience of watching 9 years of our hard work go under water. But something amazing happened. Those who were “meant” to show up didn’t and those who did show up, were meant to,” Newstead Brewing Co stated.

“Brisbane reminded us of what we were a part of. One hell of a community that deserves to be fought for.”

“We get by with a little help from our friends, and we are immensely grateful for the support of the community and the incredible passion, dedication, skill and ownership of our sensational team.”

“If anything can be taken from Newstead Brewing’s story, it’s to remain humble, keep evolving and bettering yourselves and please support your mates. We may be gone, but not forgotten.”

Last Man Standing Brewing Moves In

The site has swiftly found new life under the banner of Last Man Standing Brewing, which officially took over and reopened the doors on March 14.

Last Man Standing Brewing, an Australian-owned beer brand, has moved into the location, transforming it into its production and corporate headquarters.

The new occupants wasted no time in getting the taps flowing again, ensuring that patrons could enjoy their signature lagers as the footy season ramps up. The transition marks a significant step for the brand as it establishes its own dedicated venue, embracing the opportunity to expand its presence in the industry.

While the venue has already reopened, the team is still in the process of making adjustments to enhance the experience. Plans are underway to create a vibrant sports bar atmosphere, complete with large screens and a menu featuring classic pub-style fare. By March 28, when the Brisbane Broncos take on the Dolphins in the NRL, the brewery aims to have its new setup fully operational, offering a broader selection of Australian-owned beverages.

The brewery is also looking ahead to future growth, with ambitions to introduce new beer varieties and expand its range. The existing brewing equipment at the Milton site provides ample capacity, and the team is open to adding more as needed to support its evolving lineup.

This transition comes at a challenging time for Australia’s craft beer industry, which has seen several independent breweries struggle in recent years. However, Last Man Standing Brewing is approaching the change with resilience, determined to carve out a strong foothold in the competitive market. With a prime location, a dedicated team, and a commitment to quality, the brewery is set to make its mark in Brisbane’s beer landscape.

Queensland Rugby Star Fraser McReight Staying With the Reds Until 2028

Suncorp Stadium will remain the battleground for Fraser McReight’s rugby future, with the star flanker committing to Australian Rugby and the Queensland Reds until 2028. The 26-year-old, widely regarded as one of the best openside flankers in the game, turned down significant overseas offers to stay in Queensland, ensuring he remains a key figure in Australia’s rugby revival.

McReight’s re-signing was confirmed on Friday, 14 March, solidifying his place in the Wallabies’ long-term plans. His decision to stay comes ahead of a critical period for Australian rugby, including this year’s British and Irish Lions tour and the 2027 Rugby World Cup, which will be hosted on home soil.

Loyalty to Queensland and the Wallabies

Despite attracting interest from overseas clubs, McReight chose to continue his journey in Australia. He said his passion for representing Queensland and the Wallabies played a major role in his decision, along with the opportunity to contribute to a national rebuilding effort.

“There were other offers, but my heart has always been with the Reds and the Wallabies,” McReight stated. He sees the next few years as crucial for Australian rugby and wants to be part of the team’s resurgence.

The flanker’s decision aligns with the choices of several other top players, including Wallabies captain Harry Wilson, who have opted to remain in the domestic competition rather than chase lucrative contracts overseas. Queensland Reds coach Les Kiss emphasised McReight’s value, calling him one of the best No.7s in world rugby and a leader within the team.

A Career on the Rise

McReight’s impact on the game has been undeniable. In 2024, he was named Australian Super Rugby Pacific Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, earned the RUPA Medal for Excellence, and won the Pilecki Medal as Queensland’s best player.

The backrower made his professional debut for the Queensland Reds in 2019 and played his first Test for the Wallabies in 2020. Since then, he has amassed 77 Super Rugby caps and 25 Test caps, cementing his status as a core player in Australia’s international setup.

Queensland Rugby Union CEO David Hanham praised McReight’s commitment, noting that he has a strong connection with the team and the local community. “He wants to be here, playing with his mates and pushing Australian rugby forward,” Hanham said.

A Key Player for Australia’s Future

Rugby Australia’s high-performance director Peter Horne highlighted McReight’s role in shaping the Wallabies’ future. With a major international calendar ahead, including the highly anticipated British and Irish Lions tour this year and the 2027 Rugby World Cup, his presence in the squad is considered a major boost.

“Fraser has established himself as a regular in the Wallabies lineup and will play a key role as we prepare for some of the biggest rugby events in Australia’s history,” Horne said.

McReight’s leadership and on-field influence are expected to help guide a new era for the Wallabies, as the team looks to rebuild and compete at the highest level.

His re-signing also strengthens the Queensland Reds, who have secured key players such as Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Matt Faessler, and Jeremy Williams, ensuring the squad remains competitive in Super Rugby Pacific.

A Home-Grown Star Staying Put

McReight’s rugby journey started in Queensland, where he played for the Albany Creek Brumbies before progressing through the ranks at Brisbane Grammar School. He later captained the Junior Wallabies to an Oceania Under-20s title, setting the foundation for his professional career.

His decision to stay in Australian rugby, rather than accept lucrative overseas offers, underscores his deep connection to Queensland and his desire to see the Wallabies return to the top of world rugby. With Suncorp Stadium set to host key matches in the coming years, fans can expect to see McReight leading from the front, both for the Reds and the Wallabies.

Broncos vs Cowboys: Madge’s Men Seek Redemption in Home Opener After Mixed Start

The Brisbane Broncos open their home season this Friday, 21 March, against the North Queensland Cowboys, carrying the weight of two performances that have left fans questioning the team’s true identity. Madge’s side enter the encounter with a point to prove after their promising start was derailed in the nation’s capital. Broncos vs Cowboys kick off 7:00 p.m. at Suncorp Stadium.

Electrifying Start Raises Expectations

Michael Maguire’s Red Hill revolution began with a bang in round one, as Brisbane dismantled the Sydney Roosters 50-14 in a statement performance at Allianz Stadium. The Broncos’ new-look outfit fired on all cylinders, overcoming an early deficit to run in nine tries against one of the competition’s traditional powerhouses.

The revamped Brisbane midfield showcased a perfect blend of power and precision, with Payne Haas proving unstoppable. Despite observing Ramadan, the front-rower tore through the Roosters’ defence, amassing 145 metres and 11 tackle busts while providing a clever assist for Cory Paix’s try. Alongside Haas, Pat Carrigan excelled in his switch from lock to prop, chalking up 202 metres and setting up Jack Gosiewski with a deft short ball.

The veteran halves combination of Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds controlled the game with composure and guile. Hunt, in his first appearance back in Broncos colours, orchestrated Brisbane’s opening try and crossed for one himself, while Reynolds’ precision kicking game tormented the Roosters’ outside backs.

Perhaps most impressive was the performance of Cory Paix, who ended a 553-day NRL exile with a standout showing in the number nine jersey. The hooker’s enterprising play around the ruck provided Brisbane with the zip they needed, while Selwyn Cobbo’s hat-trick out wide put an exclamation mark on a commanding display.

Reality Check in Canberra Exposes Vulnerabilities

The euphoria of round one quickly evaporated as the Broncos came crashing back to earth with a 32-22 defeat against Canberra Raiders.

Brisbane’s imposing forward pack found themselves outmuscled by the Raiders’ duo of Corey Horsburgh and Josh Papali’i. The pair set the tone early with ferocious charges and stinging defence, limiting the influence of Haas and Carrigan. The Broncos’ enforcers were beaten to the punch by a hungrier Raiders outfit, with Brisbane’s completion rate plummeting to just 65% compared to their clinical execution against the Roosters.

The halves pairing of Reynolds and Hunt struggled to stamp their authority on the game, with Reynolds failing to register a single run in the first half. While Hunt created two tries with pinpoint cut-out passes to Jesse Arthars, he was badly exposed defensively when Canberra’s Matty Nicholson bumped him off en route to the try line.

Most concerning for Broncos fans was the neutralisation of fullback Reece Walsh. The electric number one, who had terrorised Canberra in previous encounters, was restricted to just 51 metres from five runs as the Raiders kicked to open spaces and denied him quality possession. Walsh’s defensive frailties were also exposed, with four missed tackles compounded by four handling errors in a night to forget.

Broncos vs Cowboys

The Friday night clash against the Cowboys now takes on heightened significance as the Broncos look to establish consistency under their new coach. For Brisbane to prevail in front of their home faithful, they’ll need to recapture the midfield dominance that laid the platform for their round one success.

Haas and Carrigan must win the crucial battle of the engine room, while Reynolds and Hunt will be eager to demonstrate their combination can flourish even when facing defensive pressure and limited time with the ball.

As they prepare to run out at Suncorp Stadium for the first time in 2025, the Broncos stand at a crossroads in their early-season journey. Will supporters witness the ruthless machine that demolished the Roosters, or the vulnerable outfit that was outmuscled in Canberra?

Milton Office Building Could Make Way for 30-Storey Residential Tower

A riverside site in Milton currently occupied by a four-storey office building could soon be transformed into a 30-storey residential tower, following a development application lodged with Brisbane.

Read: Manning Street Development to Transform Milton Landscape

Silverstone Developments, which owns the 2,339 sqm site at 299 Coronation Drive, had previously secured approval for a 26-storey office building. However, shifting market conditions and rising commercial cap rates led the company to reconsider, opting instead for a residential tower.

Photo credit: Woods Bagot/Brisbane PD Online

The new proposal (A006721031) includes 192 apartments, a four-storey podium, and a rooftop wellness retreat. Designed by architecture firm Woods Bagot, the building’s design incorporates open-air balconies, natural ventilation strategies, and landscaped public spaces. A publicly accessible plaza, deep planting zones, and a café are also planned at street level to enhance pedestrian activity along Coronation Drive.

Located along the northern bank of the Brisbane River, the site benefits from direct access to the Milton Ferry Terminal, Milton Railway Station, and the Bicentennial Bikeway. Traditionally an area dominated by office buildings and light industrial spaces, Milton has seen a growing interest in residential development due to its proximity to the city.

The proposed tower, which retains the same 110.05-metre height as the previously approved office project, features a mix of larger apartments and resident-focused amenities. Its design aligns with Brisbane City Council’s Buildings That Breathe guidelines, which encourage sustainable and climate-responsive architecture. The podium incorporates textured masonry planter boxes, perforated metal screens, and subtropical greenery to create a softened streetscape.

Because the site was originally zoned for office use, the development application is subject to impact assessment and public consultation. The shift from commercial to residential use reflects broader trends in Brisbane’s property market, where demand for office space has fluctuated while the appetite for well-located housing remains strong.
