With the recent news that he has re-signed through 2021 I think we all agree it is time for Bronson Xerri to get his own thread.

A bit of background on Xerri for those who don't already know much about him.
- He is primarily a left centre, but has played a little bit of right centre. I have seen some reference to him having played wing in the past but it definitely hasn't been in the last couple of seasons
- He's a local junior (Aquinas Colts)
- His name is pronounced like "sherry"
- He's born in 2000, which means he was still eligible for the SG-Ball (U18) competition this season.
- His rep honours include:
* NSW U16 team at age 14
* NSW U18 team at age 16
* Australian Schoolboys team at age 16
* NSW U20 team at age 17
In 2018 he has:
- Pushed Isaac Lumelume to the wing (Lumelume was a NSW U20 origin rep last year)
- Played in an NRL trial game
- Carved up the Jersey Flegg (20's) comp
- Made his NSW Cup debut, scoring 3 tries and having a 4th disallowed
- Played in both the U18 and U20 origin games
- Been named to the Australian Schoolboys a second time, but declined to concentrate on the off season with the full time NRL squad
Here's an interview from after his Jets debut.

There are lots of highlights of Sharks junior games to be found on the web, but here is a very recent one wear the Sharks destroyed North Sydney and Xerri (#4) and Lumelume (#19) each had a big day out (starts at 4:36). The other centre (Ferris) had a couple of nice tries in this game too.
