The Brisbane Broncos have copped a blow with star players Payne Haas and Ezra Mam likely sidelined for the rest of the 2024 NRL season due to injuries, mate.
The pair were forced off the field during a heartbreaking defeat to the Gold Coast Titans over the weekend, leaving fans and teammates gutted.
To add salt to the wound, Tyson Smoothy also picked up an ankle knock while playing for the Souths Logan Magpies in the QLD Cup.
Haas has been diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury while Mam is nursing a syndesmosis issue, mate.
Dave Ballard, the head of performance at the club, confirmed the bad news in an injury update, mate.
"We will be seeking advice from specialists in the coming days as we navigate through this tough time without these key players.
Unfortunately, they won't be in the lineup this weekend as we figure out the next move," said Ballard.
It's a tough break for the Broncos, but they'll need to dig deep and rally together to overcome this hurdle.
As they say in the world of Rugby League, it's all about teamwork and resilience in the face of adversity, mate.
Let's hope Haas and Mam make a speedy recovery and bounce back stronger than ever.
Go Broncos!
