RL:'Lead by actions': New Broncos skipper replaces legend

Broncos Tamika Upton Ali Brigginshaw Brisbane (Geopolitical Entity) NRLW

Tamika Upton is the best player in the NRLW after rising to every challenge in her career and now she is ready to do so again as the new Brisbane captain.

The leadership shoes she will fill are the largest imaginable after club great Ali Brigginshaw stepped down as the sole captain after a stellar eight years in the role, winning four premierships along the way.

Brigginshaw will play her final season of NRLW as a player only in 2026 so Upton, also Queensland captain, will have her wisdom to draw upon.

Coach Scott Prince has put faith in 29-year-old Upton and with good reason. She has won four premierships - three with the Broncos and one with Newcastle - and is the reigning Dally M NRLW player of the year.
