In 1995, the Super League War broke out. This article details the eighth season of the Brisbane Broncos. After threats of expulsion from the NSWRL, the Broncos were one of the first clubs to sign with the new league and all players followed suit. Broncos CEO John Ribot moved to take over the running of the rebel Super League, leading to a perception that the conflict was orchestrated by the club.

In 1999 the Brisbane Broncos played their twelfth season They competed in the second National Rugby League premiership, reaching the finals but losing their first play-off match Club legend Allan Langer retired mid-season, perhaps as a result of the team's form. Allan Jeffery Langer AM (born 30 July 1966 in Ipswich Queensland) often nicknamed "The Little General" and commonly known as "Alf" or "Alfie" Despite the club's mid-season turnaround, which resulted in qualification for the finals after an 11-match winning streak, the team was eliminated by the Cronulla Sharks in the first week of the finals.

Allan Langer returned to the club in 2002 for one season before eventually retiring. National Rugby League season 2002 saw the fifteenth season of football for the Brisbane Broncos. 2002 was also the beginning of Brisbane's "post-Origin slump", which has haunted the club in the years since. Many players represent the Queensland Maroons in the State of Origin series and the extra workload has caused a loss of form for the club immediately after the series. The Queensland State of Origin team is a Rugby league team representing the state of Queensland that plays in Australia's annual three-match State of Origin The Broncos average about 7 players out for every Origin game. [5] This was evidenced in 2003 when the ladder-leading Broncos lost 10 of their last 11 games. Despite faring better in 2004 and 2005, the team still struggled in the latter stages of the season, losing all of their finals matches. National Rugby League season 2004 was the Broncos' 17th season since their inception in 1988. This article is about the 2005 season of the Brisbane Broncos. [3]
In 2006, after a strong early and mid-season performance, the Broncos again entered the post-Origin slump, losing 5 consecutive games. This article details the 2006 season of the Brisbane Broncos. However, they reversed this run of form, winning 6 of their last 7 games including the premiership decider against the Melbourne Storm and keeping their perfect Grand Final record intact. The Melbourne Storm is a professional Rugby league football club based in the city of Melbourne, Australia [3] After a dismal 2007 season in which they only scraped into the finals, coach Wayne Bennett announced he would leave at the end of 2008 after twenty-one years as coach.

Emblem and colours
It had originally been planned for the Brisbane Broncos to adopt a logo incorporating both a kangaroo and a stylised "Q" which had been featured in the logo for the Queensland Rugby League for many years. A kangaroo is a Marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods meaning 'large foot' However, with the Australian national rugby league team also known as the Kangaroos, this was deemed inappropriate and conflicting. The Cooktown Orchid which had long been used by Brisbane clubs in the Bulimba Cup was also ruled out, along with other Australian animals such as the brumby, possum, galah and the kookaburra, which was used on Brisbane's Kookaburra Queen paddleships. The Cooktown Orchid has been the floral emblem of Queensland since November 19 1959 The Bulimba Cup was a representative Rugby league competition held between Brisbane Ipswich and Toowoomba The A possum is any of about 64 small to medium-sized Arboreal Marsupial Species native to Australia, New Guinea, and Sulawesi The Galah, Eolophus roseicapilla, (gəˈlaː is also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo or Galah Cockatoo. Kookaburras (genus Dacelo) (or Cookaburras are large to very large (total length 28-42 cm/11-17 in terrestrial Kingfishers native A paddle steamer is a ship or boat driven by a Steam engine that uses one or more Paddle wheels to develop thrust for propulsion. [8] Having wanted to continue with the use of alliteration for local sporting teams such as the Brisbane Bullets and Brisbane Bears, the club's directors eventually decided on the nickname Broncos. Alliteration is the repetition of the first Consonant sound in a phrase History The Bullets were established in 1979 for the foundation season of the National Basketball League under the captaincy of Bruce Fitzgerald and Head coach Brisbane Bears were an Australian rules football Club and was the first Queensland-based club in the Victorian Football League Bronco, or bronc, is a term used in the United States and Canada to refer to an untrained Horse or one that habitually bucks [2]
The original club logo was first featured in the Broncos' inaugural season in the premiership in 1988 and was used until 1999. It used a mostly gold colour scheme, in line with the predominant colour on the team jerseys. Gold (ˈɡoʊld is a Chemical element with the symbol Au (from its Latin name aurum) and Atomic number 79 In 2000, the club adopted a new logo with a more maroon design, which was much closer to the traditional colour associated with Queensland rugby league and Queensland sport in general. Maroon is a dark Brownish Red Color. The first recorded use of Maroon as a color name in English was in 1789. [3] This design continues to be used to date.
Traditionally, the colours of the Brisbane Broncos have been maroon, white and gold, which have all long been linked to the history of rugby league in Queensland. Initially, the founders of the club favoured the official blue and gold colours of Brisbane City Council. Brisbane City Council is the governing council for Brisbane, which is the capital of Queensland, Australia. However, Sydney advertiser John Singleton advised the board that "Queenslanders had been booing players wearing blue for more than three-quarters of a century. John Daniel Singleton (born January 6, 1968 in Los Angeles California) is an American Academy Award -nominated Film director "[8] As a result, the traditional maroon and white colours of Brisbane Bullimba Cup sides along with gold, symbolising the Queensland sunshine,[8] were adopted as the club's colours.
In the inaugural 1988 season, the club's jersey design featured the top third being gold, the middle being alternating hoops of maroon and white and the bottom third being maroon. Although this design featured gold strongly, it did not please everyone as the jersey had to differentiate from the maroon and white of Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and the maroon of the Queensland State of Origin team. The Manly - Warringah Sea Eagles are an Australian professional Rugby league club based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney The Queensland State of Origin team is a Rugby league team representing the state of Queensland that plays in Australia's annual three-match State of Origin [9] Following a number of design changes in the 1990s including a predominantly white jersey from 1997 to 1998, blue was added to the jersey in 2001 as a minor colour to show the aforementioned historical link with the colours of Brisbane. However, this was later dropped from the design in favour of a mainly maroon jersey with gold trim. [3]
At the 1995 Rugby League World Sevens tournament, the club introduced a new combination of jersey colours - mauve, aqua and white. The Rugby League World Sevens were a pre-season Rugby league sevens tournament made up of the NSWRL, ARL and NRL teams along with teams representing Brisbane Broncos Marketing Manager Shane Edwards stated that it "will become our Sevens strip. . . but we will never change the Broncos' colours. "[10] In 2001, following the release of the club's predominantly white with navy-blue and maroon away jersey, the National Rugby League ordered the club to produce a third jersey since the new away jersey clashed with the home jerseys of the Penrith Panthers, Melbourne Storm and New Zealand Warriors. The Penrith Panthers is an Australian professional Rugby league football team The New Zealand Warriors (formerly the Auckland Warriors) are a professional Rugby league team based in Auckland, New Zealand An aqua strip using the same design as the jerseys used from 1999 to 2001 was worn, which was much derided by the local media. Following two years of public pressure the club dropped the jersey in favour of the design worn against Newcastle in 2003. [3]

Stadium
In their first five seasons, the Broncos played their matches at Lang Park, the ground considered to be the home of rugby league in Queensland. Lang Park, presently known as Suncorp Stadium, is a rectangular sporting stadium located in the Brisbane suburb of Milton, Queensland, However, following ongoing conflict with the Queensland Rugby League and Lang Park Trust, the team relocated to ANZ Stadium in 1993. The QSAC was formerly known as ANZ Stadium ANZ now holds the naming rights for Sydney's Stadium Australia. [4] The club's home match attendance, which had averaged 19,637 at Lang Park, increased to 43,200 at the new ground in the first season following the club's premiership title in the previous season. [11] However, despite the team's second premiership in 1993, crowds gradually declined, with the club failing, until 2002, to register more than the 1996 average of 23,712.
With the Queensland Government's $280,000,000 redevelopment of Lang Park,[12] the team moved back to the refurbished and renamed Suncorp Stadium upon its completion in mid-2003. The more centrally-located stadium has begun to attract increasingly higher crowds, with the 2006 average attendance of 31,208 being significantly higher than the Newcastle Knights with 21,848 and about double the regular season competition average of 15,601. The Newcastle Knights are an Australian professional Rugby league football team based in Newcastle New South Wales. [11]
The club record attendance for a regular season match is 58,593, set against the St. George Dragons in the final round of the 1993 season. The record attendance for a match at Suncorp Stadium is 50,612, set in the third round of the 2008 season against the North Queensland Cowboys. The North Queensland Cowboys are an Australian professional Rugby league football team based in Townsville Queensland. [11]
