Pain for Broncos
WAYNE Bennett has warned there could be more pain on the way for the Broncos after declaring Brisbane’s young forwards were not up to the weekly rigours of the NRL.
Veteran Alex Glenn (knee) and rookie Payne Haas (shoulder) joined a growing casualty ward during Saturday’s 38-24 loss to Manly at Suncorp.
With Matt Gillett (broken neck) and Josh McGuire (ankle) also out, the Broncos face a forwards crisis as they battle to break into the eight.
The development of Tevita Pangai Jr, 22, Matt Lodge, 22, Joe Ofahengaue, 22, and Jaydn Su’A, 20, have been highlights for the Broncos, but inconsistency has also been an issue.
