After winning the 2025 NRL premiership, the Brisbane Broncos will need to rely on the next generation of young players coming through their ranks as they aim to create a dynasty.
Over the past couple of years, the likes of front-rower Benjamin Te Kura and hooker Blake Mozer have been introduced to the NRL after successfully progressing through the club's ranks.
So...who's next?
These are the 'Top Ten' young players that have yet to make their NRL debuts and are currently contracted to the Brisbane Broncos.
5. Va'a Semu
Contracted until the end of 2027, Va'a Semu stands at an impressive 194cm and 110kg and leads the next breed of young forwards coming through the Broncos ranks alongside Benjamin Te Kura.
While he still has plenty of room to develop, he has shown glimpses of potential in the QLD Cup over the past couple of seasons and should be ready for a taste of first-grade at the backend of 2026 or the following year in 2027.
In 15 appearances in 2025, he scored four tries, made 18 tackle busts and 164 tackles and went on to average 103 running metres per match.
The club have decided not to rush his development and will likely take a similar approach to him as they have done for Te Kura.
Lot of effort on your part to put this together, Ethan, but I suspect no-one outside Queensland will ever read it.
