Broncos, Cowboys name squad for Alex Glenn Testimonial Match

Brisbane and North Queensland have released their squads for the Alex Glenn Testimonial Match at Redcliffe Stadium on Saturday.

Former Cowboy and new Broncos recruit John Asiata is one of several notable inclusions for Kevin Walters' side, with former Brisbane winger David Mead landing a starting role for the clash.

Glenn will run out in the No.11 jumper, with Brodie Croft stating his excitement for the game, where he will be starting in the halves for the Broncos

“It’s not just any trial match, it’s Lexi’s Testimonial … he’s been a great clubman here at the Broncos and it’s an honour to be able to play in this game in front of a big crowd out at Redcliffe,” Croft said, per the club website.

“We’ve got Round 1 in two weeks so it’s our last fine-tune before the season comes around, so it will be good to get out there and test out the systems and structures that we are working towards this year.

“With (Coach) Kevie (Walters) bringing in a lot of the older Broncos to talk to us about what it meant to them to be a Brisbane Bronco, and instilling in us what it meant to them to wear the Broncos jersey .. it’s exciting for us.”

Todd Payten has named a near full strength side, with prop Josh McGuire set to miss the match as he tends to a hamstring injury.

Co-captains Jason Taumalolo and Michael Morgan will start for the Cowboys along with Kyle Feldt, Jake Clifford and Scott Drinkwater.
