History
In 2017, the Brisbane Broncos launched a bid to enter a team in the inaugural NRL Women's Premiership in 2018. On 27 March 2018, the club won a license to participate in the inaugural NRL Women's season, on the back of a strong bid which included the NRL's desire for a geographical spread.[31][32] Paul Dyer was named as the coach of the women's side,[33] but stepped down after the inaugural season to concentrate on his role as game development manager. Kelvin Wright was named his replacement in May 2019.[34]
In June 2018, Ali Brigginshaw, Brittany Breayley, Heather Ballinger, Teuila Fotu-Moala and Caitlyn Moran were unveiled as the club's first five signings.[35] Tain Drinkwater was also appointed the CEO of the team.[36]
The club won the inaugural NRL Women's Premiership title by defeating the Sydney Roosters by 34–12 in the 2018 NRL Women's Premiership Grand Final.[3]
First Team
The first ever Brisbane Broncos who played the St George Illawarra Dragons on the 9th September 2018 at Suncorp Stadium. The Brisbane Broncos won the match 30-4.[37]
