Match Report | Tough Night Out in Season Opener

After the bright lights of Las Vegas the opening round of the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership continued at Allianz Stadium as the Roosters and Broncos squared off in a Thursday night blockbuster.

The Roosters enter the new season with a vastly different roster following the departures of Luke Keary, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Joseph Manu and Joseph Suaalii, while long-term injuries to Sam Walker and Brandon Smith robs them of two of their most dangerous attacking weapons.

The Broncos were hoping the class of Reece Walsh and the composure of Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds could guide them to a victory in Michael Maguire's first game at the helm and what they produced was a nine-try spectacular to give their fans fresh hope for 2025.
