Subscriber only Broncos coach Kevin Walters is considering another scrumbase reshuffle with Karmichael Hunt and Albert Kelly putting pressure on besieged playmaker Anthony Milford for Saturday s clash against the Roosters. Hunt was set to be called up for his first NRL game in 12 years this week, only to suffer a minor knee injury playing for Souths Logan in the Intrust Super Cup on Sunday. Walters is awaiting results of scans to determine whether to pitchfork Hunt into the halves at the expense of Milford for the Roosters showdown at the SCG.

Melbourne Victory travel to face Sydney FC in the third Big Blue of the 2020/21 A-League season on Wednesday night - the first of two fixtures set to round out the Matchweek 21 action.
After the meeting between two bitter rivals at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium comes to its conclusion, Perth Glory will host Adelaide United at HBF Park in a fixture capable of making or breaking the home side s push for a place in the Finals Series.
Victory are without a Big Blue win since January 26, 2019. The Sky Blues have won seven on the trot since, including two in the 2020/21 season. Steve Kean s side have lost three consecutive games leading into the Wednesday-night fixture, and with Newcastle Jets just one point behind Victory will hope to get the points needed to put a gap between themselves and the league s bottom-placed side.

South Sydney survived a late Shark attack to record a 32-22 victory over Cronulla at Suncorp Stadium but the game could have enormous ramifications for the Queensland Origin side with two incumbents placed on report.
The Rabbitohs looked on the path to certain victory when they raced to a 20-0 lead inside 30 minutes only for Cronulla to launch a second-half fightback and pull within sight of victory to trail 20-16 with 14 minutes to play.
But Cronulla’s late fightback was thwarted when the referee Chris Sutton halted play in the 73rd minute to place Chad Townsend on report for what appeared to be an innocuous neck contact tackle two tackles earlier.
