FORMER Queensland Reds player Izaia Perese will make his NRL debut against the Panthers tomorrow night.

Perese will come onto the bench for his first match as a Bronco in a game at Suncorp Stadium between the teams in seventh and eighth spots on the ladder.

Internationals Alex Glenn and Matt Gillett will both be out again.

Perese has a junior league background but played Super Rugby for the Reds and was a Wallabies squad member.

However he switched back to league this year and has impressed in the Intrust Super Cup with his strong running and tackle-shedding ability.

"It is a really well-deserved debut - he has been playing some really good football for Redcliffe, so he will fill that utlity role on the bench," said Broncos' head coach Anthony Seibold this morning.

"Izzy can fill any place in the back five.

"As far as tackle breaks go, he leads the stat in the Queensland Cup.

"Adam Mogg who coaches him at Redcliffe says he has really improved.

"He played league as a kid, played Super Rugby for the Queensland Reds and has been learning the game.

"He certainly has some X factor about him."

Perese will take middle forward Rhys Kennedy’s spot on the bench, with Kennedy heading back to the Intrust Super Cup to get more game time.

While it is unusual to carry both a hooker and back on the bench, Seibold said the Broncos had plenty of cover for injuries.

Kotoni Staggs can cover the back row if needed, and Seibold said the Broncos have the firepower and minutes needed in the forwards.

"With guys like Patne Haas and Lodge, Pat Carrigan etcetera, we have good cover there," he said.

"Kotoni Staggs can play edge back rower as well, so it gives us some flexibility."

Seibold said Gillett and Glenn looked good chances of playing in Friday week's blockbuster against the Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium.

Great seats are still available for the Broncos-Panthers clash here.
