It has since been revealed that the quartet were all injured in the same training session in a less than ideal endorsement for the Broncos head of performance Dave Ballard who was appointed last month following the sacking of Andrew Kroll.<\/p>\n
"Dave Ballard is the new strength and conditioning coach at the Brisbane Broncos and on Sunday a brutal training session turned bad," Nine's Ben Dobbin revealed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Karmichael Hunt tore his calf, Ben Te'o tore his calf and Albert Kelly tore his hamstring, and Brendan Piakura damaged his ankle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
"Three of these four players would have been in the side for Sunday when they take on the sharks.<\/p>\n
"What the side looks like come Sunday, we'll know a bit more as lockdown continues but not great news for the Broncos. Four injured last Sunday."<\/p>\n
The injuries have paved a path for out-of-favour half Brodie Croft to make his way back into the starting line-up, replacing Hunt.<\/p>\n
