[edit] Season Summary
1999 saw the departure of one of Brisbane's favourite sons, Allan "Alfie" Langer, after the Broncos had a shocking start to the season. The captaincy was passed onto Kevin Walters part way through the season. The club made an amazing turnaround midseason, winning 11 consecutive games in a row to qualify for the finals in eighth position but were easily disposed of 42-20 by the Cronulla Sharks in week one of the finals series at Toyota Park.
