Brisbane's hopes of mounting a NRL title challenge hang in the balance after a bicep rupture to skipper Adam Reynolds - but coach Kevin Walters is backing Jock Madden to fill the breach.
Reynolds will go for scans on the injury he suffered in the 40-18 loss to the Sydney Roosters on Friday night, with Walters saying it was potentially season-ending.
Respected Brisbane-based physiotherapist Brian Seeney - known on social media as NRL Physio - said the usual time-frame for a return from a torn biceps post-surgery was 12 weeks, unless there were complications.
That would leave the Broncos' 33-year-old conductor and 2014 premiership winner out of action until at least round 21.
Madden, the club's back-up half, had a minor pectoral injury in round eight against Wests Tigers while playing five-eighth.
