The Broncos are through to a preliminary final in a fortnight, but there’s a chance they could be without superstars Pat Carrigan and Reece Walsh after the pair were sin binned in the epic win over Canberra.

During a frenzied four minute period in the second half, Walsh and then Carrigan were sent to the bin for separate incidents, Walsh for a headbutt on Hudson Young and Carrigan a shoulder charge.

Walsh and Carrigan are expected to be on the match review committee’s charge sheet on Monday morning and could face suspensions.

Broncos coach Michael Maguire was asked the Walsh incident and if the fullback has anything to worry about.

“I’d have to have a look at it. They were at each other and it was probably more just conversation,” Maguire said on Walsh’s interaction with Young.

“I don’t know if it’s a headbutt. They sort of came together.

“There was emotion out there and they probably both got sent for a reason so you move on.”

Two minutes after Walsh was binned, Carrigan was given his marching orders on the suspect tackle which left Raiders forward Morgan Smithies bleeding from the mouth.

“It’s finals time. Every moment counts. It’s fast and quick,” Maguire said on that incident.

“To be honest I thought I had a head clash. I haven’t seen the angle of it but we’ll have to wait and see,” Carrigan added.

Walsh copped it from the Raiders faithful as he left the ground after being binned.

Not one to shy away, Walsh returned the favour with a middle finger to the GIO Stadium crowd.

Walsh clearly came out with a point to prove when his ten minutes ended, producing a stunning 20 minute period to lead the Broncos out of a 28-12 hole.

“I had to come out with something because being sent for 10 in a final, I’m disappointined in myself so I’m glad it went our way,” Walsh said.

His coach credited the fullback’s ability to turn around after the sin bin and play such a crucial role in the stunning comeback win.

“His maturity and what I’ve seen he’s been working towards. There’s a lot of talk around Reece but he knows what he’s capable of and the boys get behind him and back him,” the Broncos coach said.
