The Broncos will likely be without star halfback Ben Hunt for a number of weeks after he was forced from the field with a hamstring injury in the Brisbane's win over the Sydney Roosters.
Hunt was forced from the field in the 49th minute after struggling on the sidelines for a period with what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury.
The Broncos have downplayed the injury, suggesting it is just a mild strain and is not considered serious.
