Broncos walloped, Oates ruled out

Brisbane: Broncos coach Anthony Seibold must decide what to do with halves Brodie Croft and Anthony Milford after the 48-0 loss to the Wests Tigers, while the immediate future of Corey Oates has already been decided.

Oates was stretchered off Leichhardt Oval after he broke his upper left leg in a cover tackle by backrower Luciano Leilua. There was no suggestion of anything illegal in the tackle.

Speaking after the match, Seibold said it was a suspected compound fracture and Broncos support staff would remain with the Origin winger in Sydney.

“It’s a very serious injury. I only had a brief chat with him as he was getting into the ambulance – he was in a fair bit of pain,” Seibold said.
