Parker and Glenn to miss Bulldogs clash

by NRL

have managed to name a strong side for the match against front runners the Bulldogs in the face of a long injury list.

The Broncos head to Sydney to take on the runaway competition leaders on Sunday.

Corey Parker and Alex Glenn will be missing from the Broncos' line-up for extended periods of time in the run in to the NRL finals, after medical advice was finalised this morning.

Parker has an AC strain in his left shoulder - suffered in the first minute of the match - and will be out of action for anywhere from two to four weeks.

He will miss Sunday's game against the Bulldogs in Sydney and the match against the Melbourne Storm at Suncorp Stadium on Friday, August 17.

Glenn has a hamstring strain first suffered scoring his second try against the Raiders on the weekend.

He will be out for four to six weeks, meaning he is little hope of playing again before the NRL finals, should the Broncos manage to qualify.

Brisbane: 1 Josh Hoffman, 2 Gerard Beale, 3 Jack Reed, 4 Justin Hodges, 5 Lachlan Maranta, 6 Ben Hunt, 7 Peter Wallace, 8 Ben Hannant, 9 Andrew McCullough, 10 Petero Civoniceva, 11 Matt Gillett, 12 Sam Thaiday [c], 13 Ben Te'o. Subs: 14 Corey Norman, 15 Josh McGuire, 16 Mitchell Dodds, 17 Dunamis Lui.
