Josh Rogers, the Q Cup standout, was named the unexpected No. 7 jersey replacement for Adam Reynolds, as Brisbane coach Kevin Walters stated in his explanation.
Walters has encouraged the rookie to take on the job, with Broncos captain Reynolds out for up to 14 weeks due to a damaged bicep and alternative half Jock Madden ruled out due to a pectoral ailment.
Tristan Sailor, a five-eighth for the Broncos, was called up to the Brisbane lineup earlier this season to fill in for an injured Reece Walsh. Rogers’ call-up comes at Sailor’s expense.
“There were a couple of options for us, with Tristan Sailor as well, but Josh has been playing in the halves and playing the type of football that will be good for us on Friday night against Parramatta,” Walters commented.
“He’s played a pretty nice role for Burleigh in the Queensland Cup, and he deserves to be a member of the team.
