Brisbane encountered a setback that could potentially jeopardize their title aspirations.

Brisbane’s aspirations for the premiership have encountered a few obstacles in the early stages of the year, as several key players are sidelined.

Reece Walsh and Payne Haas are both facing injuries that will keep them out for at least a month, and Adam Reynolds sat out the team’s round three defeat against Penrith due to a knee problem.

While Walsh and Haas represent short to medium-term setbacks, the team’s captain, Reynolds, is expected to return within the next two weeks.
