MYSTERIOUS: Broncos star winging it as famous five titles loom - You Need To See This

Reigning women's Golden Boot superstar Julia Robinson is relishing being back on the wing and has her sights on joining the Brisbane Broncos greats who have won five titles for the club.

The 28-year-old Jillaroos and Queensland powerhouse won her first two competitions (2018-19) on the wing before claiming the next pair of titles (2020 and 2025) as a centre.

Robinson played the first eight matches this year as a centre and lost the last three of those games.

Coach Scott Prince put her back on the wing for the last four matches and four wins have followed with the club legend known as "Robbo" snaring five tries in the process.

Robinson will line up on the wing in the NRLW preliminary final against Gold Coast on Sunday in Robina in the kind of form that led to her winning the 2025 International Rugby League (IRL) Golden Boot as the best representative female player in the world.

Robinson's switch back to wing has proved a masterstroke by the coach.

"Princey told me I would be back playing on the wing which I was so happy for," Robinson told AAP

"I love playing wing. I will play anywhere the team needs me. That is where I started my career and we won the comp so maybe deja vu is coming up."

Only two Broncos - men or women - have won five premierships at the club. Broncos legends Kevin Walters and Michael Hancock hold that record but Robinson can join them if she can get through the next two matches with wins.

"That is why we play ... to win," she said.

"To get a fifth premiership here at the Broncos would be incredible and amazing but we have got the next job to worry about and then hopefully we get to the big dance."

Robinson was philosophical about the three losses in a row from round six to eight, the last of which was a 28-20 defeat against the Titans.

"Yes, we had a few losses earlier in the season but they are all learnings where we discover what works, what doesn't work and where we can improve," she said.

"It was good it happened earlier in the season because we are firing now."

The outside backs of both teams are lethal and Robinson won't be underestimating the back five of the Titans.

"They are incredible with so many rep players," she said.

"There's obviously Chappo (Jaime Chapman), Georgia Grey has been playing well and Phoenix Destiny-Sinapati debuted for Queensland this year and she has been killing it out there.

"We have to respect their players but I have full confidence in our players that we can get the job done."
