Brisbane Broncos recruit Jaiyden Hunt will nervously await scans on an injured ankle to ascertain how long he will be sidelined for.
The forward, who made the switch from the St George Illawarra Dragons during the off-season and would have been in contention for a bench spot at Red Hill given the number of outs the Broncos have experienced since the end of 2023, will now be unlikely to be fit in time for the season opener after being helped from the field by teammates and medical staff during training on Wednesday.
