From Badu Island down to the bright lights of Brisbane, the Broncos are gearing up for a special celebration during Deadly Choices Round.
Kotoni Staggs, a proud Indigenous Bronco, will lead the team out onto the field against the Dragons on Saturday night, marking a historic moment for the club.
The Broncos were welcomed with open arms by a group of Torres Strait Islander youngsters who traveled all the way from Far North Queensland to show their support at Suncorp Stadium.
It's a fitting tribute to the annual themed Round that coincides with NAIDOC Week, a time to celebrate Indigenous culture and heritage.
In a show of support, Broncos Major Partner Kia Australia has graciously given up their front of jersey position for the squad's specially designed Indigenous Jersey.
The spirit of unity and cultural pride was on full display as students from Kowanyama, Cherbourg, and Rockhampton joined the team at Captain's Run, adding to the sense of camaraderie and respect.
The celebrations don't stop there, as the club also launched its 4th Reconciliation Action Plan and 2nd Stretch RAP, setting the stage for continued partnership and progress in the years to come.
It's a week full of milestones and meaningful connections, highlighting the importance of embracing diversity and inclusivity in the world of Rugby League.
