THE NRMA Insurance Broncos Under 20s will head to Sydney with some extra strikepower after Coach Craig Hodges named his NYC Semi-Final team today.
The Broncos must take on the sixth-seeded Wests Tigers in Sydney this Friday night in a match that will end the season for the loser.
But they will do it with some more firepower after getting their second handy returnee within two weeks.
Last match, it was the NRL-experienced Jordan Drew who returned from six weeks out with a knee injury.
His added zip produced two tries in the young Broncos' 32-26 Qualifying Final loss to the Eels last Saturday night, a tremendous comeback from such an injury.
Today Coach Hodges was able to name playmaker Jayden Nikorima, the younger brother of fullback Kodi Nikorima.
Utility Nikorima will come off the bench. His elusiveness could prove a key factor and have a major impact against the Tigers.
The Broncos are going to have to pull out a big turnaround to their one meeting against the Tigers earlier this season, if they want to advance to the Preliminary Final against the on fire Dragons.
The Tigers won that regular season NYC match 42-10 in an uncharacteristic display from the Broncos Under 20s.
