Message: [QUOTE="Chewed, post: 3039893, member: 9192"] THE Broncos’ next wave of talent has been recognised with eight of the club’s contracted players to represent the Queensland under-18s team. The Maroons’ 18s will take on their NSW counterparts in the annual clash as a curtain raiser to next Wednesday’s State of Origin match at Suncorp Stadium. Outside backs Tesi Nui and Xavier Coates, who both trialed with the Broncos’ NRL squad against the Souths Logan Magpies in Warwick back in February, are in the team. Coates’ teammates Reece Walsh and Brendan Piakura are also from the Tweed Heads Seagulls club that won the national under-18s final over NSW champions Illlawarra. Ipswich Jets pair Jack Martin (prop) and half Sam Walker will represent Queensland as well. Norths Devils’ halfback Josh James and Wynnum Seagulls’ hooker Jake Simpkins round out the list of Broncos’ contracted players in the State team. Broncos’ NRL assistant coach Kurt Richards will coach the side and try to reverse their 16-10 loss last year by a team that included current Broncos’ NRL players Tom Dearden and David Fifita.
