Reed blow for Broncos

Brisbane’s Jack Reed will be sidelined for the next month after suffering a fractured leg.

Reed suffered the injury during Friday’s home loss to Cronulla and although initial scans failed to identify a problem, Reed was sent for further tests.

A follow up x-ray however confirmed the bad news for the Englan international, who was found to have sustained a small fracture.

It means Reed will be out of action for between four to six weeks for the Broncos.
