The Brisbane Broncos are gearing up for a fierce showdown in their first trial clash against the Burleigh Bears this Saturday at UAA Park.
Head Coach Michael Maguire has carefully selected a 26-man squad that is ready to bring their A-game to the field.
The starting lineup is packed with talent, featuring six of the Broncos' top 30 players.
Jock Madden will lead the team as captain in what promises to be an action-packed preseason hit out.
Fans can expect to see Delouise Hoeter make his much-anticipated return in Broncos colours after recovering from a season-ending knee injury last April.
Joining him on the field will be Tyson Smoothy, Ben Te Kura, Josiah Karapani, Josh Rogers, and Jaiyden Hunt.
In a twist of fate, Burleigh Bear Matt Koellner will be playing for both teams, starting with the Broncos before switching to the Bears' jersey in the second half.
The intensity of the match will be further fueled by extended train and triallists Sione Hopoate, Latrell Siegwalt, Tristan Powell, and Luke Gale rounding out the starting pack.
As the Broncos prepare to take on the Bears in this trial match, they are determined to showcase their strength and skill.
With every player poised to give it their all on the field, this clash is sure to be a true test of grit and determination in the world of Rugby League.
