The Brisbane Broncos have announced changes to their lineup ahead of their match against the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium on Friday night.
Winger Jesse Arthars and front-rower Corey Jensen will not play due to injuries-a rib injury for Arthars and a calf issue for Jensen.
As a result, Tyson Smoothy has been elevated from the bench to the starting side in Jensen's place.
This change paves the way for Ben Talty, a recent recruit from the North-Sydney Bears on a train and trial contract, to make his debut off the bench.
At 26 years old, Talty has extensive experience with over 85 New South Wales Cup games and has participated in several pre-season trials with the Melbourne Storm.
Talty expressed excitement about the opportunity, labeling it as "special."
