\n <\/p>\n

The Brisbane Broncos<\/a> are set to be without back-rower Brendan Piakura<\/a> for their next two games, including tonight’s match-up against the South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scratched from the club’s starting side alongside Payne Haas<\/a>, Piakura could also miss next week’s match against the Melbourne Storm<\/a> after he sustained a concussion during a training session this week, per AAP.<\/a><\/p>\n

While there has been no confirmation on the severity of the head knock, Piakura may have to undergo the NRL<\/a>‘s mandatory 11-day stand-down concussion protocols.<\/p>\n

If confirmed, it would be a massive blow to the Broncos as they surge towards the 2025 NRL Finals<\/a> series and hope to claim a spot in the top eight, which would see them host in the first week of the finals.<\/p>\n

A three-time international for the Cook Islands<\/a>, the back-rower has played 16 appearances for the Broncos this season, starting in his last six matches.<\/p>\n

During his time on the field, Piakura has scored one try, made three line-breaks and 289 tackles at an efficiency rate of 90.3 per cent and averaged 69 running metres per game.<\/p>\n
