there is injuries we don't know the full extent of the Ezra Mann AC shoulder injury at the moment we know that Captain Adam Reynolds has got a hamstring injury whether or not he will be fit to play in two weeks time against the Roosters we're still not sure on that but

They are in a hole that we've seen in the past, but at the moment they are, in my opinion, set to miss the eight.

And that's a huge claim considering at the beginning of the year they were my favourites to win the comp.

I thought they'd go back to back.

But the numbers at the moment make it very difficult for them to make the eight.

Reedy?

I think they're a miracle, Dobbo.

I think only one man can get them there, and that's if Reece Walsh finds form, gets hot, and comes back, and they go on a run because of that.

But I think it's highly unlikely, given the way they're playing.

I mean, you mentioned the injuries on...

Thursday night.

But you've got to remember, South said no Luttrell, no Cam Murray, no Campbell Graham, no Jack Whiten.

So it's not as though South didn't have players on as well.

They had about $4 million of their salary cap on the sideline.

So that doesn't wash with me, the idea they had injuries.

That's just not an excuse, particularly for a club like the Broncos who've got...

You know, they've got immense depth.

They've got the greatest nursery in rugby league.

That's just not acceptable, right?

So the way they played, it was poor, really poor.
