Queensland State of Origin

Queensland under 20 emerging squad

Former Queensland Maroon Justin Hodges has come onto the staff and will join Queensland Kurt Wrigley in guiding the players during the camp next month.

The players will train at Griffith University and QSAC from January 19 to January 22.

A number of the selected players have already had a taste of the representative arena, having represented Queensland in the Under 20 interstate match against New South Wales in July, including this year's skipper Jaydn Su’A.

Gillett signs long-term Broncos deal

Australia second-rower Matt Gillett re-signed with the Brisbane Broncos, committing to the NRL club until at least the end of 2020.

Gillett, 28, joined the Broncos as a teenager and made his debut in 2010, before establishing himself as a Queensland State of Origin player.

Broncos chief executive Paul White was delighted with the re-signing of Gillett, who made his first appearance for Australia two years ago.

"Matt is a wonderful rugby league player but also a thoroughly decent person. His efforts for the club on and off the field do not go unnoticed," he said.
