The Brisbane Broncos have been hit with a series of injury scares as they prepare for the NRL grand final.

Star players Reece Walsh, Adam Reynolds, and Herbie Farnworth were all seen receiving treatment during Tuesday's training session.

Farnworth, in particular, seemed to be dealing with a serious issue as he left training early and did not return.

He was seen with strapping on his upper leg, indicating a potential hamstring or quad problem.

"He said, 'I'll be right', in his accent," said forward Kobe Hetherington, praising Farnworth's toughness.

"He's a tough bugger.

He'll be right to go." Despite the concern, Farnworth's determination to play seems unwavering.

Meanwhile, star fullback Walsh also appeared to suffer a hamstring or glute issue during the session.

He received assistance from the team's physiotherapist and spent around eight minutes on the ground.

However, he managed to re-join the main group and complete the session without any major issues.

Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs brushed off concerns, stating that Walsh was still running around and dismissing the scare.

Captain Adam Reynolds also had a brief moment on the ground, touching his knee or quad.

However, he quickly reassured reporters that it was just a minor bump and nothing to worry about.

It seems that Reynolds will be ready to lead the team in the grand final.

In addition to the backs, State of Origin prop Payne Haas also sought treatment during the session for a hand issue.

Although he wore a red bib indicating "no-contact," Haas still participated in tackling drills and appeared to be fine overall.

Despite these injury scares, the Broncos remain focused on their preparation for the grand final.

They will be hoping that all their key players recover in time to give their best performance on the biggest stage of the NRL season.
