[edit] Season Summary
Brisbane spent the entire 2000 season from round four in first position on the ladder. However, the record for worst collapse in a match was broken in round 18 when an 18 point lead was surrendered to the Newcastle Knights. Veteran winger Michael Hancock and captain Kevin Walters, playing their final seasons with Brisbane, both took the record for most grand final appearances for the club when they helped the Broncos to victory in the last daytime Grand Final at Stadium Australia, defeating the Sydney Roosters in a tight match 14-6. It was the club's fifth premiership in nine seasons. Walters moved from the Broncos to join Allan Langer in England at the end of 2000's NRL season, and the captaincy was passed onto Gorden Tallis.
