Brisbane Broncos are making headlines in the Rugby League world with the exciting news of Reece Walsh and Latrell Mitchell returning to the field for the pre-season challenge this weekend.
These two superstar fullbacks, along with James Tedesco, Scott Drinkwater, and Ryan Papenhuyzen, are set to kick off their 2025 season in style.
In a classic showdown, Kalyn Ponga and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will be suiting up for the Knights and the Dolphins after a star-studded performance in the All-Stars game.
However, Manly seems to have missed the memo as Tom Trbojevic will be kept on the sidelines for now.
Latrell Mitchell is geared up for his comeback game since Wayne Bennett's return as South Sydney coach, adding some extra spice to the Charity Shield clash against the Dragons.
This game promises to be a real test for Mitchell and his squad.
Meanwhile, the Broncos, under the leadership of Michael Maguire, are eyeing a hefty $100,000 prize in the pre-season challenge.
After a dominating victory over the Titans, they are now in pole position to claim the cash with a win over the Bulldogs.
Maguire's lineup is looking strong with Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds in the halves, and Payne Haas and Patrick Carrigan leading the charge up front.
With players like Selwyn Cobbo, Cory Paix, and Kobe Hetherington in key positions, the Broncos are shaping up to be a formidable force in the upcoming season.
