The Brisbane Broncos have held on to beat Canberra 24-18 at Lang Park for their seventh straight NRL victory, but will be counting the cost after a hefty injury toll.
Already without Kotoni Staggs, Kurt Capewell and Selwyn Cobbo, who did not back up after Wednesday's State of Origin opener, the Broncos lost halfback and captain Adam Reynolds to a rib injury, Blues prop Payne Haas to a shoulder issue, and centre Herbie Farnworth left the game let with a nasty looking bicep complaint.
