Brisbane have just seven forwards available, with two more on restricted duties. Could the loss of another star for the Penrith clash break them?

Broncos winger Jesse Arthars says he was forced to regain eight kilograms as he recovered from a fractured jaw, having been reduced to “a strict diet of smoothies and soups”.

Coach Kevin Walters will have only seven available forwards, while Kobe Hetherington and Corey Jensen were spotted on limited training duties on Tuesday morning.But after returning to the field in last week’s defeat to the WarriorsHe had limited opportunities in his first game back against New Zealand, kept to just 56 running metres, but he did not experience ill-effects from his stint on the sidelines.

“I need to eat quite a bit to keep the weight on, so I stripped quite a bit there. Once I could eat again I was trying to eat as much as I could, and I’ve put all that weight back on now.“I wasn’t worried at all , there were a few contacts in that game where it rattled the jaw a bit, but if you’re going to dwell on that it’s not going to help your footy.
