Broncos coach Michael Maguire is considering making changes to his side after a lackluster performance from Ben Hunt and a concerning knee injury to Reece Walsh in their loss to the Warriors.
Hunt had a rough night with multiple errors, including a crucial flat pass that led to a try for the opposition.
Maguire made a significant move during the game, shifting Billy Walters to five-eighth and placing Hunt in dummy-half, possibly indicating a future change in their positions.
Despite a strong start to the season, the combination between Hunt and Walsh has not been as effective as hoped.
Walsh's attacking stats had been declining even before the Warriors game, and he seems to be struggling with confidence in crucial moments.
The fullback's inconsistent performances could be attributed to overplaying his hand in response to Hunt's passing game.
The Broncos were fortunate to stay in the game against the Warriors, with their attacking play looking disjointed throughout the match.
Luke Metcalf's successful 50m penalty kick in golden point secured the victory for the Warriors after Walsh's error at the start of extra time.
Hunt's underwhelming performance and Walsh's injury are raising concerns for the Broncos, prompting Maguire to consider modifications to their lineup in upcoming games.
