Meanwhile, the Dolphins have assembled a squad capable of pushing for the Harvey Norman U19 premiership in 2025.
The cream of the crop who will lead the way this season include:
Reegan Hicks
One of the top two or three under age props in the country, the Australian schoolgirl representative stormed into the limelight with a stunning 2023 club season and has not looked back since.
The Broncos have signed the youngster who has BMD Premiership experience who impresses with her work rate around the ruck and effective tackles.
Raewyn Olomali hooker
One of the many Pine Central Holy Spirit Hornets, Olomalii had a huge 2024 when she made the Queensland schoolgirls side from Marsden SHS. A hooker, she is a particularly mobile No.9 who is deceptively effective in tackle, while also having speed to attack quick ruck ball. Olomali also has all the bases covered when it comes to delivery to her halves.
Tianah Teo
A multi-sport talent who is relatively new to the sport, half Teo comes from an Australian football background after growing up in Melbourne and continuing in the code in Brisbane.
But her first foray into league was with the Dolphins squad last season, and she has progressed impressively since then.
Coming from an AFL background, Teo has a strong kick but is also mature with leadership qualities.
Deleni Paitai
A second rower from the Pine Central Holy Spirit Hornets catchment, Paitai is a high class edge player who can also play in the centres.
A Queensland 17-18 years schoolgirl side last season, Deleni runs consistently effective excellent lines.
Memory Paitai
Named in the Queensland U19 Emerging State of Origin squad, Memory was one of Redcliffe’s most reliable players in 2024 who rose to the occasion as captain of the side. Now a year older, the No.13 or half will be wiser and more physically prepared for this season.
Wildcard watch:
Memphis Tanielu
Tanielu has joined the Dolphins from Norths where she was an elite middle forward powerhouse.
She made the www.couriermail.com.au U17 Team of the Season last year and has representative football written all over her.
The squad: Letia Alefaio, Ruby Bezgovsek, Grace Filipo, Kiana Henare, Reegan Hicks, River Hicks, Lazlyn Leota, Jazmin Lord, Tia Molo, Narli Nicholson, Tshia Nielsen, Raewyn Olomalii, Memory Paitai, Deleni Paitai, Bernadette Papani, Layla Satui, Mya Sautia, Memphis Tanielu, Tianah Te’o, Ellicyr Tighe, Emily Wilson, Arijana Zammit-Kaipp.
