Amid the uncertainty of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, the Brisbane Broncos played the Sydney Roosters in the first round of the NRL season. 

There were concerns about players being away from their families during this time, but the team was able to return before the cyclone arrived. 

Brisbane Broncos CEO, Dave Donaghy, told Peter Psatlis on Wide World of Sports, "I suppose we had enough time or a window there where we could get everyone back, which we're very grateful for, that we were able to do that."

"So they were able to get everyone back straight after the game, that was pleasing to get everyone home."

"We're really grateful that the facility at Red Hill and, more importantly, all our staff, all our players and, all our families are all okay, through this period," Mr Donaghy continued.
