Broncos fans are being given a rare opportunity to bid for a piece of the club?s history.

The new-look Broncos alternative jerseys ? unveiled to the public last week and worn in the only two trial matches played by the club this season ? are to be auctioned on the Broncos website. The jerseys will be personally autographed by the player who wore them.

Among the jerseys to be auctioned will be the historic No.6 of Darren Lockyer, the No.4 of Shaun Berrigan and the No.1 worn by Motu Tony. Also expected to be in demand among Broncos fans is the No.5 jersey worn by teenager Karmichael Hunt.

Each of these jerseys is unique, with Lockyer?s expected to command most interest among bidders. In the trial against the Melbourne Storm in Toowoomba last Saturday night, Lockyer wore the No.6 Broncos jersey for the first time since his debut season of 1995.

Berrigan, formerly a half or five-eighth in his previous 102 NRL games for the club, was making his first outing in the centres; Kiwi international Motu Tony was on debut for his new club; and 17-year-old Karmichael Hunt was the first tryscorer for the Broncos against the Storm, in his debut appearance for the club.

Because of selection changes, in some cases two players will have worn the same jersey. In that instance both players will autograph the jersey.

Bids for the jerseys can be placed by e-mailing , stating the player?s name, the relevant number of the jersey and your bid amount in the subject line of the e-mail document. Starting bids for each jersey will be $250, and the bidder?s name, their day phone number and a delivery address should also accompany each bid.

An update on the bidding will be published on the Broncos website on Friday, February 27, with a further update on Tuesday March 3, following the trail match against the Sydney Roosters. Final bids will be accepted by 5pm, Friday March 5, and the successful bidders will be notified by 5pm on Tuesday, March 9.
