One last 'last' for Broncos legend Ali Brigginshaw in NRLW grand final
Ali Brigginshaw and fellow OGs Julia Robinson and Chelsea Lenarduzzi are hoping to join Broncos royalty with a fifth NRLW premiership.
Ali Brigginshaw, a five-eighth for the Brisbane Broncos, is set to play her last NRLW match in the grand final against the Sydney Roosters. Brigginshaw, 38, has already won four NRLW grand finals, making her one of the most experienced players in the league. She, along with Julia Robinson and Chelsea Lenarduzzi, are considered the OGs of the Broncos, having been with the team since its inception in the NRLW in 2018.
The Broncos will face the Roosters at 4pm AEDT on Sunday. Brigginshaw's competitive spirit remains as strong as ever, and she aims to defeat Roosters captain Jocelyn Kelleher, much like she did in the preliminary final against Gold Coast. The Broncos have lost eight players from their last grand final side, but Brigginshaw believes the new team, featuring halfback Jesse Southwell, shares the club's systems and culture.
As a result, everyone at Red Hill is embracing the "last last" week, reflecting on Brigginshaw's impending departure.
