The Brisbane Broncos are set to face a nervous wait today as they await the scan results of forward Brendan Piakura.
The 21-year-old who is a lock to replace the departed Kurt Capwell in the second-row, left the field on Sunday in a knee brace after sustaining the injury in the NRL Pre-Season Challenge game against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Revealed that he will undergo scans on Monday, Piakura is currently in doubt to play against the Sydney Roosters in Las Vegas in what would be the second game of the NRL season.
Before leaving the field, he showed his absence would be a significant blow to the club’s edges as he crossed the line for two tries.
“We will get the results of the scans and see how bad it is,” Walters said after the match on Sunday, per The Courier Mail.
