Broncos Six Spots Up for Grabs in World Club Challenge
1 Feb
Summary
- Six Broncos positions remain undecided for the World Club Challenge.
- Coach Michael Maguire is fostering competition for final squad spots.
- The Broncos will travel to England on February 9th.

Broncos coach Michael Maguire is employing a strategy to ensure his squad remains competitive for the World Club Challenge, with six positions yet to be confirmed. The team is set to depart for England on February 9th, with their match against Hull KR scheduled for February 20th (AEDT).
Maguire has opted not to inform players on the bubble about their selection status, believing this will drive harder training efforts. He stated that final decisions will be made after assessing performance in training sessions next week. Several key players are unavailable, including Brendan Piakura, Kobe Hetherington, and Tyson Smoothy, opening up opportunities for other squad members.
New recruits such as Aublix Tawha, Grant Anderson, and Tom Duffy have impressed in training and are considered strong contenders for the remaining spots. The Broncos' grand final winning lineup from 2025 will also see positional shifts, with Ezra Mam moving to five-eighth and Ben Hunt shifting to hooker.
