The Brisbane Broncos have conquered the great Magic Round escape, despite major concerns for a key star. But one man showed there was light amid an injury crisis.

Concerns were rife the moment Adam Reynolds’ long-term injury was announced that the Broncos’ premiership chances had left with him.

His 618 kicking metres enabled Brisbane’s defence to keep the Sea Eagles at bay, before slotting the match-winning field goal with four minutes remaining to clinch a famous win.Friday night’s battle was deprived of one of the game’s most enthralling fullback battles, with Trbojevic beginning his seven-week recovery for a hamstring injury and Walsh out with a minor knee injury.

But it was with his team under pressure, particularly in the later stages of the opening half, it was Cobbo’s positional play on threatening kicks that paid huge dividends, thwarting many an ominous raid to keep the Sea Eagles at bay. The sight of marquee Brisbane and New South Wales Blues prop Haas being helped from the field midway through the second half has sent a collective shudder through the respective camps.

If fit, Haas will be one of the first name’s picked on the New South Wales team sheet when Michael MacGuire picks his first Origin side in less than two weeks, as will lock Pat Carrigan for the Maroons.
