Brisbane Broncos great Darius Boyd says the club's prolonged losing run has taken a serious toll on the players' mental fortitude, describing the team's confidence as "absolutely shot."

Boyd, reflecting on the Broncos' current struggles, said the consecutive losses have stripped the side of the self-belief needed to turn their season around. The damaging run of defeats, he indicated, has left players second-guessing themselves at critical moments.

The comments shine a light on the psychological burden facing the Brisbane outfit as they search for a way out of their slump, with a lack of confidence now emerging as a key obstacle to any meaningful revival.
