Their opponents on Thursday are trending downwards at the moment following two disappointing losses to the Roosters and Warriors.
The Broncos’ pain has been compounded with star fullback Reece Walsh to miss up to six weeks with a knee injury. Walsh has been replaced at the back by Selwyn Cobbo with Deine Mariner taking Cobbo’s wing spot.
