SQUAD REWARD FOR BRONCOS ROOKIE
The Broncos are set to reward boom rookie Xavier Coates for his man-of-the-match performance in the under-18 State of Origin with a place in their full-time squad next season.
Centre/winger Coates was a standout in the junior game, scoring a try and setting up several others in the Maroons’ 34-12 win.
The Broncos have signed Coates on a three-year deal and blooded the 18-year-old in a top grade trial against Souths Logan in February, where he looked right at home.
The teenager is playing in the Queensland Cup against grown men for Tweed Heads and looks to have a huge future in the game.
