Brisbane Broncos facing near-impossible task to reach NRL finals
- Brisbane Broncos likely need an impossible eight wins out of nine games to play finals footy due to the way the bottom teams in the top eight have performed in 2026.
- The Broncos missed the finals with 13 wins in 2022 and, even if they go on a miracle run and win all eight of their remaining games, having won just five so far this season, the best they can do is finish with 13.
- On one level it appears ludicrous to suggest the defending premiers could perform such a feat, considering they have lost eight in a row.
