### **Rookie Watch**
– **Blake Mozer (Hooker):** Seen as the long-term No.9, Mozer is pushing for a bench spot in 2025.
– **Deine Mariner (Outside Back):** Explosive and versatile, Mariner could break into the starting side.
– **Logan Bayliss (Prop):** Highly rated young forward who could see more first-grade action.
– **Coby Black (Halfback):** One of the best young playmakers in Queensland, though a first-grade debut may be a year away.
The Broncos remain a top-four contender but will need to manage key contract negotiations and integrate young talent to stay competitive.
