Legacy arrive with names people recognise. Former Brisbane Broncos. Premiership experience. Origin jerseys. A roster that, on paper, looks more like a reunion tour than a Nines squad. That alone makes them dangerous.
But Legacy have never been just that.
What separates them is how deliberately they’ve built this team. Alex Glenn hasn’t stacked a list for nostalgia. He’s mixed league with touch, rugby, even WWE, pulling athletes who understand space, collision, and recovery. The result is a unit that looks professional from warm-up to final whistle.
That professionalism showed last year.
Dropping into the Shield Division could have flattened a squad that came to win it all. Instead, Legacy responded with control and composure, closing out the Plate Final the way experienced teams should. It didn’t end with goggles, but it showed character.
That matters in this format.
The question now is time.
Another year has passed. Another summer on the legs. The Premier League keeps getting younger and faster, and Legacy will need their rotations right from the opening round. Young runners. Smart minutes. No passengers.
Alex Glenn’s toughest job won’t be motivation. It will be selection. Deciding who makes the eighteen and, more importantly, who plays when it matters most.
Legacy are still good enough to win games late.
The question Pool 3 asks is whether they can stay fresh enough to earn them.
