Flegler or Carrigan?
The broncos give a lot of contracts out and also back packs. Could be anyone if not those two

the 2019 Broncos squad has been named and Dearden isn't in it (see the post from @Unbreakable above) ...
Besides Dearden is only 17 which means he is not permitted to play NRL (actually i don't think he is permitted to play in the ISC either at his age)

Yeah, that's what I was hoping to hear. Good to see there's competition to a degree.
Any news on what Nikorima is doing?

Yeah, I'm confused
Wouldn't it make sense for the top 30 not to be officially finalised yet? Coach hardly knows the way around the club yet

Yeah googling the squad members I didn’t know wasn’t any help.
He had a bit of the silver fox going on. He’d be about 6’5 I reckon. Oh well

Barring some huge upheaval from the new coach, most likely Nikorima finding a new home, this is the absolute best side we can field currently and what we'll see Round 1. Yes I'd rather Boyd get sacked from the captaincy, yes I'm unhappy TPJ can't stay on the fringe, yes I'm unhappy Macca is a protected species, but sometimes we can't have everything we want.
This will be my last post on the matter in the off season.......Unless of course, I get bored one evening and decide to make the exact same post again with incredibly minor changes which is always what happens in threads like this.

I agree with this squad but would play Offa at lock and TPJ in the front row.

Keebra Park product Tanah Boyd and Palm Beach Currumbin’s Tom Dearden set for gripping intra-Broncos rivalry
DECEMBER 07, 2018
TWO of the Gold Coast’s best ever halfback talents are set to continue their schoolboy rivalry into a potential battle for the coveted Broncos No.7 jersey.
Tanah Boyd has long been touted as a star of the future.
Last year, he guided Keebra Park to the NRL Schoolboy Cup national championship before graduating into the Brisbane NRL system. He spent 2018 playing at various levels for Souths Logan Magpies, including a brace of Intrust Super Cup appearances.
Also in the Broncos’ production line is Tom Dearden, who comes from the archrival of Boyd’s Keebra Park, Palm Beach Currumbin.
Dearden captained the Reds to national championship glory this year, earning the Peter Sterling Medal along the way for his playmaking prowess.

He is now in the United Kingdom on tour with the Australian Schoolboys and will next year follow in Boyd’s footsteps on the development pathway.
The Broncos have not had a superstar halfback since Allan Langer retired in 2002 – but they could have two future ones on their hands at a time when the club is undergoing a facelift led by Anthony Seibold’s replacement of long-time coach Wayne Bennett.
“It’s a competitive sport … challenging against each other you are going to get the best out of them,” said Keebra coach Glen Campbell.
“You’ll see no doubt both of those boys will get to the NRL somewhere, whether it be the Broncos or somewhere else.”
PBC mentor Aaron Zimmerle said both teens had plenty of assets going for them.
“I don’t know Tanah that personally but I just see how meticulously he prepares, how physically fit he is,” Zimmerle said.

“He’s someone that is professional already even if not by definition of how much he earns but just by the way he approaches the game and Tommy is exactly that.
“Tommy is a perfectionist. His greatest gift is he just strives to be better at everything he does.
“The thing I think that is so exciting is the halves are key to any team’s success and there is a steady pathway of halves that go onto the NRL but there’s only a few that become the elite halves.
“There is only probably four or five that can win you an NRL premiership and Cooper Cronk proved that last year.
“These two (Boyd and Dearden), because they are at the top of the tree in their own age groups and so forth, they potentially with the right development could become one of those players.”

"I’ve just returned from six weeks training in Orange County, California, preparing for pre-season. Most of it was power-based training with a strong emphasis on my speed and agility. Each day, athletes from different sports would rock up – ex-NFL players, combat fighters"
That's an excellent initiative by TPJ, and one of the many reasons he will be a monster this year. But he also needs to be a little careful. Those sports are well known PED badlands. A lot of good can be learnt, obviously, but the opposite also true.
