In one of the biggest moves of the NRL off-season, the Brisbane Broncos have agreed to a mega deal to sign Melbourne Storm forward Nick Meaney. Meaney, who finished the 2024 season as the NRL’s top scorer with an astonishing 105 goals, will bring his goal-scoring prowess to Brisbane for the 2025 season, in what is being seen as a game-changing acquisition.
Meaney’s incredible form throughout the 2024 season played a crucial role in Melbourne Storm’s success, with his 105 goals setting him apart as one of the most prolific players in the league. Known for his versatility and precision with the boot, Meaney’s ability to convert opportunities into points has made him one of the most sought-after talents in the NRL.
Broncos head coach Kevin Walters was ecstatic about the deal, stating that Meaney’s signing would provide a huge boost to their squad. “Nick is a phenomenal player, and his goal-scoring ability speaks for itself. He’s been one of the standout performers in the NRL, and we’re thrilled to have him join the Broncos. His experience and skills will bring a new dynamic to our team as we aim for premiership success,” Walters said.
The Broncos are hoping that Meaney’s arrival will help them build on their recent performances and push them closer to winning another NRL title. With his knack for scoring under pressure and his all-around game intelligence, Meaney is expected to slot right into Brisbane’s attacking setup.
For Meaney, the move to Brisbane represents an exciting new chapter. “I’ve had an amazing time at Melbourne, but the opportunity to join the Broncos was too good to pass up. I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead and helping Brisbane in their push for a premiership,” Meaney said.
Melbourne Storm will now be left to fill the significant gap left by Meaney’s departure, but his contribution over the past seasons has left a lasting legacy at the club. Storm fans will certainly miss his consistent performances, but they will also wish him well in his future endeavors with the Broncos.
As the NRL prepares for the 2025 season, all eyes will be on Nick Meaney and how his extraordinary goal-scoring abilities can help drive Brisbane to the top of the competition.
