The Brisbane skipper left the Suncorp Stadium field on Friday night clutching his left arm after rupturing his biceps while tackling Roosters winger Fetalaiga Pauga.
In a huge blow for the club’s premiership chances, Reynolds left the Suncorp Stadium field clutching his left arm in the 46th minute after tackling winger Fetalaiga Pauga.
Earlier, Broncos winger Jesse Arthars was taken to hospital with a broken jaw after a head clash with opposite number Dominic Young in the 19th minute. “Adam has got a torn biceps. He will have surgery and will be out for an extended period I would have thought,” Broncos coach Kevin Walters said.Jock Madden looms as the likely long-term replacement for Reynolds but he suffered a pec injury against Wests Tigers and Walters said it was a one- to two-week injury.The Roosters led 18-6 at half-time on the back of rampant second-rower Angus Crichton’s two tries.
Crichton made a clean break early in the match and stormed over from close range to give the Roosters a 12-6 lead.The 28-year-old, displaying the form that has led to 11 appearances for NSW, scored his second when he supported centre Joseph Sua’alii, who threw a superb around-the-corner pass to his powerhouse back-rower.Roosters coach Trent Robinson said Crichton was in “a purple patch” of form and liked the way his side constructed the win.
“I thought our resilience was really good for the first half. Possession was against us, but we worked really hard and then I felt like the guys were running really well,” Robinson said.AAP
