NRL 2025: Broncos lose Corey Jensen, Jesse Arthars for Bulldogs clash
The Broncos have been dealt a double blow with Corey Jensen and Jesse Arthars ruled out of the side's trip to Sydney to face the Bulldogs, with coach Michael Maguire backing the recalled Selwyn Cobbo to fire in his first game in a month. Jensen (calf) and Arthars (rib) will miss Friday night's clash, while veteran Ben Hunt is likely to return next week as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. It's a blow for the Broncos who were already without Origin stars Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, Reece Walsh and Gehamat Shibasaki for next week's decider, but Maguire is confident his forward pack can get the job done. Ben Talty will make his debut off the bench after starting the year playing with North Sydney in the NSW Cup, while journeyman Delouise Hoeter will start his first game since 2023. Ben Talty will make his Broncos debut just weeks after he made the move to Brisbane. Picture: NRL Photos 'Ben Talty has come in here about a month ago and put his head down, and he's going to be on the bench,' Maguire said. 'He reminded me about how special rugby league is. I was able to sit with him yesterday and talk about how he is going to debut. 'The big fella had a few tears and gave me a big squeeze. It gave me a real sense of what it really means to play NRL. 'He has been trying for a long time, so it just goes to show how special it is what our game brings. 'For 'Della' (Hoeter), he has been out for 12 months, so it's another great story.' Maguire backed Shibasaki to handle the pressure on his Origin debut, with the backline changes opening the door for Cobbo to return to the Broncos side for the first time since round 13. Selwyn Cobbo is back in the Broncos side just a week after he signed with the Dolphins. Picture: NRL photos Cobbo was dropped to reserve grade and has subsequently signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins after the Broncos were unable to offer him enough money to entice him to stay. Maguire didn't want to comment on Cobbo's looming departure and backed him to take his opportunity at fullback. 'I'm not going to go into that. I stood here at the same thing last week talking about the same story. Selwyn is now focused on playing,' he said. 'We talk about players and how it's hard to keep everyone. That's what we're working through. 'Selly is working through this year and we've got a great opportunity with where we are at the moment. The competition is well and truly alive. 'Selly has been good over the past month. 'As much as you talk about turbulent, we've worked through things and Selly is really focused on playing with his teammates. 'He's in good form at the moment and trained really well just then, so he's ready to go.'

Brisbane Broncos footy star Jesse Arthar's VERY rude on-field moment goes viral as female fans can't believe their eyes
Brisbane Broncos star Jesse Arthars scored an excellent try against St George at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday - but hundreds of thousands of fans are obsessed with it because of his rude wardrobe malfunction. The Broncos were outhustled by the Dragons who recorded a gutsy 30-26 win in a thrilling match to heap more misery on the Brisbane outfit. Despite Ezra Mam putting on a masterclass on his return match from suspension, it was Arthars' try-scoring prowess that caught the attention of fans - particularly female supporters. As the popular winger powered his way over the tryline in the 76th minute, he had his buttocks exposed when his shorts were pulled down. The 26-year-old recovered well and laughed off the incident, but it has since gone berserk on TikTok. The moment, which was highlighted on slow-motion replays, sparked a huge reaction online, mainly from female footy supporters. The winger's wardrobe malfunction quickly went viral on social media - with female fans left especially impressed A series of clips on TikTok went viral, with one clocking up more than 420,000 likes. 'Every man's never gonna let their missus watch NRL again,' wrote a TikToker named Shanae, whose post showing the moment got 173,000 likes. 'I watched this an unhealthy amount of times,' replied another. 'Yep, I rewound it and slow motioned it, put my glasses on and stood right in front of the TV,' another fan commented. 'Me to my man: "surely they won't show that angle on the replay?" Also me: Pls,' another wrote. Other comments on the footage included 'Might have to start watching rugby now', 'What if this happens in the NRLW' and 'My husband paused it, called me in, and played it back'. Clint Gutherson played a magnificent co-captain's knock to inspire the stunning comeback win for St George Illawarra over Brisbane. The pressure on the Broncos and their coach Michael Maguire went up a notch after the Dragons scored two second-half tries when down to 12 men. 'We're a real Jekyll and Hyde team, we show such great stuff and then go the other way,' Maguire said. The Dragons lost rising forward Dylan Egan to a suspected ACL injury in the fourth minute, but refused to relent against a wasteful Broncos outfit, who suffered their fifth loss in six games. The visitors had lost three games this season by one point, but held on in the frenetic final minutes as the Broncos pressed their line. 'I was saying to myself 'surely this can't happen to us again', but there must be some football god out there,' Dragons coach Shane Flanagan said. 'In the last couple of minutes we just put ourselves under an enormous amount of pressure. It was great spirit - great club spirit and great team spirit - that got us home.'
