Reece Walsh has been put on ice for another week, with Jesse Arthars to play fullback for Brisbane away against Manly.
Walsh, the regular Broncos No.1 when fit, trained on Monday, but Brisbane have taken a cautious approach to his return from a posterior cruciate ligament injury suffered against the Warriors in the 20-18 loss in round seven.
Coach Michael Maguire has elevated giant 205cm prop Ben Te Kura to the bench for his first NRL match of the season on Saturday at Brookvale Oval.
Prop Fletcher Baker, who has failed to fire since joining the Broncos, was axed for his poor display in the round 11 loss to St George Illawarra.
The 21-year-old Te Kura has been sensational for Souths-Logan in the Queensland Cup, with his defensive efforts most impressive.
