FIVE players with NRL experience will spearhead the NRMA Insurance Broncos in their first trial outing of the 2019 season.

The Broncos have this morning released a 23-man squad for Saturday’s hit-out against the Souths Logan Magpies in the Darling Downs town of Warwick.

Forward Patrick Mago, who played 12 matches for the Broncos last year, will provide experience for a young Brisbane squad.

Hooker Jake Turpin, who made two NRL appearances in 2018, will start at dummy half.

Centre Gehamat Shibasaki and prop Payne Haas, who both made their NRL debuts last year, will also start in the match at Father Ranger Oval.

Shibasaki played his lone NRL game against the Cowboys last year, while Haas played just twice before a shoulder injury ruined his season.

Richie Kennar, who has played top-grade rugby league for both the Storm and Rabbitohs, has been named on the wing.

But there will also be a host of future NRL talent on display at Warwick.

Former NSW under-20s half Troy Dargan will partner Australian Schoolboys halfback Tom Dearden in the halves, with Tanah Boyd and Cory Paix to get their chance in those positions from the bench.

Youngsters Thomas Flegler and Patrick Carrigan will start in the middle, while English forward Andrew Savelio will partner Jamil Hopoate in the second row.

Teenage trio Ed Burns, Tesi Niu and Herbie Farnworth make up the starting backline.

The side will be coached on the night by Kurt Richards, one of the assistants to Broncos’ head coach Anthony Seibold.
