IN late 2007, the Comets ceased their alignment with the Cowboys and formed a far more beneficial alignment with the Brisbane Broncos. This relationship is still in place and has seen the Comets and the Broncos prosper through the development of local players. The arrangement with the Broncos sees Broncos-contracted players that are not named in the weekly NRL side return to their home region and play for the Comets. Dave Taylor, PJ Marsh, Tommy Hewitt, Ben Hunt and Guy Williams have all played for the Comets while being contracted to the Broncos.
