Weakened Brisbane Broncos round 1

Posted by 1ee on January 19, 2016 at 7:03pm

BRONCOS winger Lachlan Maranta will miss the start of the NRL season after fracturing his wrist.The 23-year-old, a favourite of coach Wayne Bennett, injured his arm at training last Thursday, with a specialist confirming today that he will require surgery.The injury will rule Maranta out for 10 to 12 weeks, meaning he will miss next month’s All Stars game and the World Club Challenge, as well as the start of the season in early March.Maranta was expected be part of the Broncos starting line-up for the first month, with regular centre Jack Reed not scheduled to return from a shoulder injury until April.So Lachlan maranta and Jack reed are out against us in round one.Do any of you rate thoes players or will the game be just as challenging with out them in the Broncos lineup?

  Funny how Bennett only selected nuffies from his team for the All Stars game and now picking a reserve grader from his team.

Lachlan actually did this around round 20 last year and didn't worry about getting it scanned. It settled down but flared up yesterday morning after training. They got it scanned as a precaution and found that the scaphoid had fractured and that it was an old injury (cue hack jurnos to read this and claim exclusive) . If you have ever done a scaphoid you know its a real painful injury - I have no idea how he ever got anywhere near catching a ball ! Tough bloke and a bloody good footballer.

Massive loss, don't think they Broncos will be able to cope.

Not a big loss but considering both centre and winger are both out would affect there combination in defence and attack

Expect the Eels to cop a flogging regardless.
