Broncos are missing an entire backline at the moment, 4 of the 5 would be first choices as well...

1. Paul Byrnes 2. Nikau Te Rupe 3. Jordan Drew 4. Elijah Alick 5. Jack Tuttle

Wouldn't be surprised to see them struggle, especially if the Sea Eagles welcome back Tom Trbojevic which they should given DCE will come back into the team.

What injury and time frame has been put on Byrnes, BP

 

[Big Pete]

Broncos website says he's injured his shoulder but I have no idea to what extent.

 

[coreyh88]

how are the sea eagles going this year. If any well I would be surprised if we win this one.

 

[1910]

Brynes is out for 3 weeks.

Huge hole to fill.

5-5-1

They started the season on fire with four straight but after Trbojevic made his first grade debut, their form suffered and they fell back to earth in a big way. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tom at fullback on Friday and if that's the case it's going to make the game that much tougher for the Broncos who are licking their wounds after their messy loss to the Raiders.

The likes of Lavea, Collins, Arrow, Fai and Hipgrave are really going to have to step up in order to bring Berrell and Saitaua into the game and turn it into an arm wrestle instead of a free-flow game because Manly hold the advantage out wide.

 

[Big Pete]

Manly welcome back Tom Trbojevic and Mitch Thomas.

Collins and Noovao-McGreal drop out with Hynes dropping to the bench.

 

[1910]

Joe a Jet.

 

[Big Pete]

Lanskey scores one of the best NYC tries of 2015 to get Brisbane back into the game.

Manly 16-12

 

[Big Pete]

Barr and Pearson score consecutive tries.

22 all with a kick to come.

 

[Big Pete]

Collins!

He scores the Broncos third consecutive try giving them the lead for the first time in the 70th minute.

28-22 Brisbane.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Come on Broncos!

 

[Big Pete]

Manly hit back.

28 all

3 minutes to go.

 

[Big Pete]

Manly miss two field goal attempts and Brisbane hold onto record a 28 point draw against the Sea Eagles.

Considering they only lead for a brief 6 minute window late in the game, were missing so many players and came up against a team with Tom Trbojevic in it, the boys can be happy with that result.

The bye cannot come soon enough.

 

[1910]

Very odd game, terrible start with really poor defence, too many disruptions to the side and the line suffered. Recovered and had a great 15 minutes to get back in but then let it slip again.

Good not to lose and probably a fair outcome but need some guys back.
