The Broncos and Michael Maguire has been handed a hammer blow with a trio of stars going down with hamstring injuries which Brisbane\u2019s coach described as \u201creally strange\u201d.<\/p>\n
Adam Reynolds was the first to depart, with the 35-year-old limping over the sideline after a longwinded play that ended with a Xavier Coates break.<\/p>\n
The veteran playmaker was chasing the Storm winger and stopped in his tracks in a moment that showed he was \u201cclearly gone\u201d according to commentator Andrew Voss.<\/p>\n

But I have to say I am really proud of the way the players performed.<\/p>\n \u201cI though the players fought right to the death, I\u2019ve never been apart of a game where you lose your two halfbacks.<\/p>\n \u201cThen the chopping and changing of players and we were still in the game in some way towards the back end, so that says a lot about the character of this team.\u201d<\/p>\n Regardless of the severity of the trio of blows, Maguire was confident he has the depth to cover their losses.<\/p>\n Off-season recruit Ben Hunt, as he did during the game, will make a move into the halves and could partner Billy Walters, Jock Madden or Coby Black.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the vacant hooker spot could be taken by Walters, Cory Paix or Tyson Smoothy while Jesse Arthars and Josiah Karapani will fight it out for Cobbo\u2019s wing position.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will be alright, we have people in the background,\u201d Maguire said.<\/p>\n \u201cThats part of the progression, we\u2019ve been able to bring a few people in and change around a little bit. So we will work that out during the week.\u201d<\/p>\n ‘Their season is on a knife’s edge…’ | 01:09<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n CRAWLS: $1m move Souths would be mad not to make; Gus treating fans like mugs<\/a><\/p>\n MCKINNON: Reduced teams, three-point kick tries: Radical changes to revamp NRL<\/a><\/p>\n
