Major Coup for Broncos as Brisbane Sign ‘Next Benji Marshall’ from Rival Club’s Backyard

 

In a stunning recruitment move, the Brisbane Broncos have landed one of rugby league’s hottest young prospects, luring 18-year-old playmaker Kauri Rangi from the Wests Tigers’ development system. Dubbed the “next Benji Marshall” for his electrifying footwork, creative flair, and uncanny game sense, Rangi has long been on the radar of several NRL clubs. However, the Broncos swooped in with a compelling long-term vision and secured his signature in what insiders are calling a major coup.

 

Rangi, who grew up in Sydney’s west and has Maori heritage, has been compared to Marshall not only for his playing style but also for his leadership qualities and maturity beyond his years. His defection from the Tigers’ backyard has sparked frustration within the club, with fans questioning how such talent slipped away. Meanwhile, the Broncos are celebrating what they believe is a generational signing.

 

“We see Kauri as a future star in the NRL and a key part of our spine moving forward,” said Broncos recruitment boss Simon Scanlan. With Rangi expected to join the club’s NRL squad in 2026, Brisbane’s long-term playmaking stocks just got a massive boost.
