The Brisbane Broncos<\/a> have confirmed their squad to play the Souths Logan Magpies this weekend in a final hit out for their players not at the World Club Challenge.<\/p>\n

The 21-man squad, who will clash with the QLD Cup<\/a> side on Sunday afternoon at Davies Park, will be captained by second-rower Luke Gale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of more interest to fans though may be the NRL<\/a> contracted group Jesse Arthars<\/a> and Delouise Hoeter<\/a> in the centres, halfback Tom Duffy<\/a>, development player VJ Semu, who will run out at prop.<\/p>\n

Arthars in particular will be on watch, given recent rumours linking him to the Gold Coast Titans<\/a>, while he has also been named in the centres – a position he hasn’t featured in during recent seasons.<\/p>\n

The future of the Broncos in Phillip Coates<\/a>, Cameron Bukowski<\/a> and a number of bench players will also feature, while other familiar names include Mason Teague<\/a>, Josh Coric<\/a>, Bayley Sironen<\/a>, Preston Riki<\/a> and Kane Bradley<\/a> who have all spent time at other clubs.<\/p>\n

The side will be coached by assistant Matt Ballin<\/a>, with Michael Maguire<\/a> in England<\/a> with the side to contest the World Club Challenge.<\/p>\n

Kick-off is set for 2pm local time.<\/p>\n
