They competed in the NRL's 2009 Telstra Premiership and by the 12th round were leading the competition, but then suffered one of their worst post-State of Origin form slumps ever and spent rounds 16 to 22 outside the top eight. The team managed to finish the regular season 6th (out of 16), qualifying for the finals for the 18th consecutive year. The Broncos then came within one match of the grand final but were knocked out for the 3rd season in a row by eventual premiers the Melbourne Storm (who months later were found to have been cheating the salary cap over the previous four seasons and had all honours achieved during the period nullified by the NRL). Season summary Early season (Round 1—11) In March 2009, the Broncos' post-Bennett era got off to a thrilling start in Round 1 when they defeated the North Queensland Cowboys 19–18 at Suncorp Stadium, in the first game with new coach Ivan Henjak in charge. Star signing Israel Folau scored his first try in Broncos colours and the first try of the season for the club in the 6th minute, followed by NRL debutantes Antonio Winterstein and Jharal Yow Yeh who also scored. Halfback Peter Wallace kicked the match winning field goal.Goraya Raman Broncos win cracking Queensland showdown https://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-03-13/broncos-win-cracking-queensland-showdown/1618666 ABC 13 March 2009 13 March 2009 In Round 2, the Broncos defeated the Melbourne Storm for the first time since the 2006 NRL Grand Final.

In the following days Shane Webcke, who had been appointed assistant coach for Brisbane at the start of the season quit his post in the wake of controversy surrounding the release of his new book in which he was critical of some Broncos personnel. In April 2009, Wayne Bennett coached against the Broncos for the first time, with the premiership-winning mentor returning to Suncorp Stadium in Round 4 with his St. George Illawarra Dragons, along with former Broncos players Darius Boyd, Neville Costigan and Wendell Sailor.
