Legendary Bronco and board member Darren Lockyer says there's no guarantee young gun Herbie Farnworth will get his wish of becoming the club's fullback after signing a new deal to remain in Brisbane. The Broncos, who find themselves back in the top eight and firming for finals football after missing out the previous two seasons, received an added boost this week when it was revealed Farnworth had recommitted to the club for a further season. Lockyer said Farnworth's new deal is a sign the club's winning ways are rubbing off on the players. "There's no doubt winning makes it a lot happier and more enjoyable to play your footy," Lockyer told. "Herbie at the start of the year, we were keen to retain him. "We knew the Dolphins were chasing him, as were other clubs. "I think we were keen to secure him in the pre-season - he wanted to wait and I think that was really to see if he thinks the club is heading in the right direction. "I think in the last five weeks maybe, there's been a lot of players and a lot of fans, start to feel it is going in the right direction, and that's probably had a massive influence on his decision."Farnworth, who's played 51 games for the Broncos, has cemented himself as one of the club's most damaging outside backs. Through 10 games in 2022, he has seven tries to his name. What Farnworth's role with the Broncos looks like next season remains a mystery with the speedster making it known he wants to become a fullback.
