Broncos hit by more injuries

Scott Prince and Casey McGuire are set to play in the halves for Brisbane tomorrow night against St George Illawarra with Shaun Berrigan still in hospital today and Ben Ikin ruled out with a thigh injury.

Coach Wayne Bennett refused to rule Berrigan out of the clash with the Dragons but with the Origin halfback on an intravenous drip for a bad leg infection it's doubtful he will play.

Ikin was ruled out today with McGuire named as his replacement at five-eighth. Brisbane have also lost Test centre Brent Tate with a neck injury with Michael De Vere and Tonie Carroll being reunited in the midfield.
