Source: www.broncos.com.auTHE NRMA Insurance Broncos have taken a major step towards securing the long-term future of the club today with the re-signing of a 'Fab Five' of young guns.
Led by Test winger Jharal Yow Yeh, four of the five players - Kiwi representative Alex Glenn, Andrew McCullough, Ben Hunt and Yow Yeh - are graduates from the 2008 NYC team that made the grand final.
The fifth, Dave Hala, is another local player who has come through the Broncos' development system.
Broncos' chief executive Paul White and head coach Anthony Griffin today proudly stood by the five men who look destined to spend their careers with the Brisbane club.
"We live in a professional world in the NRL but it is wonderful when you can make announcements like this that reflect loyalty to the club," said White.
"These players are a large part of the core of the talent we have developed, and that we believe will take us into the next chapter of success for the Broncos.
"They are fine young men and we are extremely pleased they have chosen to further commit their futures to the club."
Griffin, who has coached all five players through the Broncos' under-20s, said the club had been working on the members of this group for many years.
"We are very happy to be able to sign these players who have developed through our system from juniors to second-tier players to NRL standard, and onto Test honours already in a couple of cases," he said.
"The club has worked hard to give these guys the opportunity to play NRL football and they have proven their ability to compete in the best rugby league competition in the world.
"It is also very pleasing for us that they have shown some faith in the club and where it is going by re-signing such significant extensions to their contracts."
Yow Yeh, whose staggering 2011 season included his Test debut for the Kangaroos and first Origin jersey for Queensland, has inked a three-year extension until the end of 2015.
Glenn and McCullough have done likewise are also locked up until the end of 2015.
Hala will be a Bronco until the finish of 2014 while Hunt has signed a one-year extension of his current contract.

For five players, the Kiwis' one-off Test against Australia on Sunday can't come soon enough.
Kevin Locke, Kalifa Faifai Loa, Gerard Beale, Russell Packer and Alex Glenn all learnt yesterday that they would be making their Test debuts at Ausgrid Stadium in Newcastle this weekend.
Of the quintet, Broncos second rower Glenn (23) had been close to selection twice before without making it onto the field. He was part of the Kiwis' squad for the 2009 and 2010 Anzac Tests but missed selection for those matches and for the Four Nations tournaments later in each of those seasons.
"I never gave up hoping and just kept working," he said.
"It was great being around the Kiwis in 2009 and 2010 but I always dreamed of going that one step further and pulling on the jersey to play for my country. To be making my debut against the Aussies this weekend is unbelievable.
"This means so much to me, to my family and my friends. I can't wait to get into it."
Glenn, a product of Auckland's Northcote club, played for the Cook Islands last year and was in the Junior Kiwis side that beat the Junior Kangaroos in 2007.
He went past 50 NRL games this season, becoming a fixture for Brisbane as a second row partner for the experienced Sam Thaiday.
Warriors fullback Locke (22), another Northcote player in his younger years, toured England and France with the Kiwis the last time the Four Nations was played in the Northern Hemisphere in 2009. He'd just come off his rookie NRL season but didn't play a Test during the campaign.
"It was a cool experience being part of the Kiwis even though I didn't get to play in 2009," he said.
"I learnt a lot then and I've kept working at trying to improve my game. This year has been amazing getting to play in the grand final and now it's topped off by being given my Test debut. I'm stoked for everyone who has supported me over the years."
While Locke, who represented New Zealand Maori against England last year, also brought up his 50th NRL appearance this season, his club-mate Packer is nearing 80 NRL games despite just turning 22 on Sunday.
Like Locke he played for New Zealand Maori last year and this year missed just one of the Warriors' 28 matches, taking his career tally to 77. The Foxton product was beaming today.
"I came to the Warriors a few years ago dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and hopefully one day representing my country," he said.
"Just being selected in the touring squad was a buzz but to find out only a day after coming into camp that I'd be making my debut so soon is massive. I just want to get out there. It's the biggest moment of my career so far."
Brisbane utility Beale (21) also had a taste of the Kiwi camp when he was 19th man for this year's Anzac Test in Robina. While he was eligible for either Australia or New Zealand there was never any doubt about his allegiance.
"I only ever wanted to represent New Zealand," he said.
"I was so proud to be in the squad for the Anzac Test this year. It was an amazing experience becoming part of the brothers and the culture the Kiwis have.
"But now to be playing for the Kiwis against the Kangaroos ... it's incredible. It's why you play the game."
Faifai Loa (21), called into the Kiwis only last Friday, has found everything happening so quickly. After playing his junior football for Marist in Auckland, he linked with Newcastle before signing with St George Illawarra. He briefly tasted NRL football with the Dragons last year before linking with the Cowboys this season, where he established himself scoring 10 tries in 22 games.
"It's all been unreal for me," he said.
"I was called into the Kiwis only late last week and found out a few days later I'll be playing my first Test against Australia.
"I couldn't be happier and just want to repay my family and friends for all the support they've given me."
Faifai Loa is set to become Kiwi No 766, Beale 767, Packer 768 and Glenn 769.
