The Brisbane Broncos NRL squad and development players have been allocated to the club's three Hostplus Cup affiliates Wynnum Manly Seagulls, Norths Devils and Souths Logan Magpies for season 2022.
The Broncos have split the NRL Top 30 and development list players across the three clubs, with players not required for that weekend’s NRL fixture heading to their allocated team.
It allows Broncos-contracted players to gain valuable senior football experience before progressing to their NRL debuts, or others to return from injury via Cup.
