Brisbane Broncos powerhouse and one of the most exciting forwards in the game - meet Jordan Riki.

“Redemption isn’t a moment. It’s built over seasons.”- Jordan Riki

Meet Jordan Riki

Jordan Riki is the modern second-rower: big engine, big moments, and built for clutch football. Standing 1.90m and 105kg, the Broncos forward blends size, speed, aggression, and elite work rate — a combination that has seen him evolve into one of Brisbane’s most reliable and impactful players.

A proud Māori athlete born in Raglan and raised in Christchurch, Jordan made his NRL debut in 2020 and has climbed rapidly ever since. Across five seasons he’s delivered consistent growth: 113+ games, 20 tries, 709 tackles at 93% efficiency in 2024, and a Grand Final premiership in 2025 — a year where he capped Brisbane’s victory with a match-sealing intercept in the final minute.

Jordan’s career hasn’t been linear. He speaks openly about lessons from early seasons, the intensity of finals pressure, and why the heartbreak of the 2023 Grand Final became a turning point. The theme he keeps returning to: redemption. A focus on maturity, concentration, and winning the big moments.

Away from the field, Jordan is grounded, values family, and backs structure over noise. When he switches off, he’s with friends, outdoors, or decompressing with recovery work that keeps his body right for the grind of an NRL season.

How he trains

Jordan’s workload is heavy (forwards don’t get shortcuts) but his training is built on clarity and repeatability.

Jordan's training activity blocks

Power & strength work: Compound lifts, carries, sled pushes, explosive traps + hip hinge work.

Defensive fundamentals: Line-speed drills, tackle tech, contact conditioning, edge decision-making.

Attack & footy IQ: Combination work with halves, line-running timing, kick-chase patterns.

Conditioning: Simple intervals — bikes, runs, rowers — aimed at repeat-effort output.

Mobility & prehab: Hips, shoulders, ankles, thoracic mobility, posterior-chain durability.

Jordan's week at a glance (in-season)

• Mon: Recovery field session + gym power block
  Tue: Team skills + edge defence work + conditioning finisher

  Thu: Attacking shapes + defensive reps (medium load)
  Fri: Captain’s run + reset
  Sat: Game day (edge role execution, high work rate)

Jordan measures his weeks on execution, not emotion — did he win his effort areas, did he win his assignment, did he show up in the big moments?
