Fresh off his selection at five-eighth for the Queensland state side, the pressure will be on young gun Lateo to step up.
He will assume full control of the Reds following a cruel pre-season injury blow to experienced playmaker Marley McLaren and the graduation of 2024 Peter Sterling Medallist Zane Harrison.
McLaren will aim to be back for the finals, but in the meantime Lateo will assume the senior halves' role.
PBC SHS players Marley McLaren and Taj lateo with Broncos legend Kevin Walters after the school won the Walters Cup in 2022. McLaren is again injured and Lateo will be the senior half.
It is not the first time Lateo has run the show. He was also the senior half and captain of PBC's 2022 Walters Cup-winning side after McLaren went down with a wrist injury.
'He will run the team and will be fine,'' PBC SHS coach Tim Maccan said.
'He did that for South Coast recently, he took the steering wheel and managed really well.
'At Mal Meninga Cup level, he stepped in this season when Zane Harrison and Javon Andrews were out (for Tweed Seagulls).''
Mabel Park SHS coach Ben Weston said starting strongly was crucial in the Langer Trophy this season.
Mabel will field a crack edge division, with strike centres JZ Perenara and Dean Tauaa teaming with Majah Peachey and DJ Talaepa on their respective sides of the field.

With the competition's finals format reworked to only include the top five sides this season, it meant an early season slip up could prove costly down the line.
'There is more pressure (on teams to perform),' Weston said.
'We have tough a start in PBC and Keebra, and we'd like to jag one or two of those two, if not both.
'The competition is so close you will also need a good for and against to help you out.'
The Langer Trophy will be exclusively live streamed on the Courier Mail and across all News Corp Australia digital mastheads as part of KommunityTV's unbeaten coverage of the NRL Schools League competitions.

‘Don't drop it': Gleeson silences inner critic with Lions dream in sight
'I remember the second Reds game this year, I dropped a few balls and after the game, I saw my parents, my head was down, I was just in the dumps, worried about the next game, what's going to happen, and then my Mum (Elizabeth) helped me out with it, like mistakes are going to happen...' Gleeson's chosen position is a tough one for a man who doesn't relish attention. The trademark red headgear is also thanks to his Mum, who initially chose it to try and spot her son on Manly Oval alongside his brother Ben, now a regular at the Marlins. The No.8 is often the physical focal point of the team, used to provide inspiration when needed when defences are at their toughest. Gleeson has now established himself as one of the premier back rowers in Super Rugby, standing in contrast with the young man from Dee Why who arrived at the Waratahs in 2022. 'My first year of debuting for the Tahs, I was shitting myself on the bench. I was scared. I didn't want to play,' Gleeson said. 'But I reckon, once you're in the game, like physically in the game, and you make your first carry, everything else just goes out the window. 'If I'm looking at the crowd, my mind just wanders. Especially in the Wallabies it's daunting because you can't be perfect, but the coaches expect you to be perfect. So every little thing you have to think of, it's doing your job right.' At 23-years-old Gleeson was faced with a crucial decision early in his career at the start of this year, to stay or go. He had interest from Northampton and Exeter in England and Montpellier. Ultimately, he decided that a move to France would not only push him out of comfort zone off the field, he would return a far better rugby player to Australia. 'I thought I'd probably do it (move) later in my career. But I just feel like mentally and physically, I just feel a bit stagnant the last four years. I've sort of been in the same position,' Gleeson said. 'So I just thought, Top 14 is one of the biggest rugby competitions and as a player I need to adapt, I just want to learn a few new things as well. 'Obviously, money comes into play as well. I'm definitely going to come back, but I just feel like it's a good time in my career to do that (move).' Gleeson hasn't been in regular contact with Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt since the start of the year when he was uninvited from training camp. Gleeson was told he would still be considered for selection if he played well enough, and he is not alone. Brumbies pair Noah Lolesio and Tom Hooper are also overseas-bound, but likely to be in the squad. 'It would mean everything (to get picked),' Gleeson said. 'It's either the Lions or the World Cup I think they're one of the biggest things in our sport, it would be a dream, if I don't play, I'll still come support the boys, I'll still try and either watch them on TV or come and see them. Loading 'It's hard because there are so many good performers this year, especially in the back row Carlo (Tizzano), Tom Hooper who's also leaving is killing it. 'I think it just depends on what Joe and the coaching group wants, I tried to give everything I could this year, especially to the Tahs. 'I just wanted to leave something there and leave it all on the field for the boys. Obviously I feel sad that I'm leaving, I just wanted to put my body on the line for this year and leave a legacy.'

Why McLaren had to vet photos of Australian cricketers' meet-up with F1 star Oscar Piastri
When Oscar Piastri invited a handful of Australian cricketers to tour the McLaren factory outside London last week, insiders at the leading F1 team were in a spot of bother. The entire visit was kept under wraps, with all photos and videos from the day subjected to a strict vetting process by McLaren staff. In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, even a casual snap in the wrong place on the factory floor can pose a risk. With rivals like Red Bull and Ferrari always on the lookout for technical edges, McLaren's strict media control was designed to prevent any unintended leaks from inside its highly secretive Woking facility. Therefore images were carefully reviewed with officials on alert for any sensitive details pictured. But now, with clearance granted, the cricket-meets-F1 crossover has finally been made public. For 19-year-old rising Test star Sam Konstas, it was everything he dreamed of. The youngster couldn't believe how relaxed Piastri was, given his position atop the table in arguably the world's most high-pressure sport. 'He's 24. First in the Formula 1. I don't know how he deals with so much pressure on him,' Konstas said, as first reported by Code Sports. 'But full credit to him. 'He's a legend of a bloke. He's a massive cricket fan. Having a bit of time with him was a huge honour.' Piastri gave the Australians a guided tour of the McLaren HQ and even demonstrated a few hot laps on the team's simulator. 'It was a great experience – obviously witnessing all those amazing cars,' Konstas said. 'We actually jumped on the driving simulator and Oscar was driving a few laps and he showed us how it was done.' While Usman Khawaja and Nathan Lyon kept things steady in the sim, Mitchell Starc was the surprise outlier — clocking the fastest virtual lap among the group. Konstas wasn't quite so confident in his ability behind the wheel. 'I was terrible. I was crashing all the time. It was good fun. I was definitely the worst one,' he laughed. 'Usman Khawaja was like a little kid. We were trying to get him off and he just kept playing.' Lyon, who has kept in regular contact with Piastri in recent years, joked about the need for discretion after seeing what McLaren had behind closed doors. 'The facilities that they have and the way they go about it is pretty phenomenal,' Lyon said. 'I don't know how much I can say, Red Bull might be listening.'
