Staggs (quad), Piakura (ankle), Haas (foot), Willison (suspension) will all miss the game. Walsh (hand) was named earlier in the week but was ruled out 24 hours before the game with Karapani and Paix the two remaining reserves.

It's just a matter of survival tonight. The Broncos have had 30+ put on them eight times this year, with half those being 40+. They have to show some signs of life and if they go into this like they did in 2022 and 2019 it could bring things to a head for Kevie Walters and may see the end of an era.
