The Brisbane Broncos are a home-grown success in 2023, with 14 of their 17-man side brought through their junior pathways academy system after identifying their talents early and nurturing them.
That same 17 are set to play the Warriors in a preliminary final at Lang Park on Saturday night.
"The boys that we got at a younger age have all committed to the program from their early years and they are connected to the Broncos," head of recruitment Simon Scanlan said.Scanlan, formerly head of the academy program, said the recruitment and retention of the Broncos players through the junior pathways was a team effort and that head coach Kevin Walters had unlocked their best.
Former Brisbane centre Jack Reed, who works for the club in game development, was previously involved with the Sunshine Coast Falcons U16s. He pointed Cobbo out to Scanlan at a training camp. Farnworth would make the trip south in the northern hemisphere summer to play with the Burleigh Bears.
