Inside Broncos ballooning casualty ward and the highly-touted rookie firming for debut against Wests Tigers
The Broncos face setbacks with Carrigan's suspension and Mozer's jaw injury after a tough loss to the Cowboys.
The Australian
The Broncos have suffered more crushing blows with Pat Carrigan facing suspension and Blake Mozer breaking his jaw in Friday night's costly 35-31 loss to the Cowboys.
Carrigan has been hit with a grade-two careless tackle charge for the high shot on Cowboys centre Tom Chester that saw him sin-binned in a wild and thrilling XXXX derby at Suncorp Stadium.
Carrigan will be banned for two matches if he takes an early plea, which would rule him out of Brisbane's upcoming clashes against Wests Tigers and the Bulldogs.

It was a second offence for Carrigan, who was sin-binned and reported for a similar offence in Brisbane's finals clash against Canberra last season.
