JUSTIN Hodges’ installment as captain of the NRMA Insurance Broncos will be looked on as a wonderful achievement for all involved.

Broncos’ coach Wayne Bennett and chief executive Paul White today announced Hodges would take charge of the captaincy reins, starting with Thursday’s massive season opener against the Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium.

He will be introduced as the captain at the Broncos’ official season launch tonight at the Brisbane City Hall.

White said the post demonstrated how far Hodges had come as a leader in the past few season at the Broncos.

“Justin led the club in a co-captain’s role last year but in 2015 will be the sole leader of the Broncos,” said White.

“This is a sign of where he has come as both a professional athlete and a person over the last few years.

“I have enjoyed watching his development as a person and look forward to observing his leadership role continue to grow.

“Justin’s family, his teammates and his club can all take pride from this announcement and his achievement.”
