The Broncos have received a blow to their Telstra Women s Premiership preparations with Raecene McGregor set to be sidelined for up to five months due to a shoulder injury.
McGregor will undergo a shoulder reconstruction next week after suffering another setback while playing for the Wests Tigers in the Harvey Norman NSW Premiership.
The 23-year-old originally dislocated her shoulder in a freak accident while celebrating her sister Page s try during the Harvey Norman All-Stars game in February.
After missing more than a month to manage the injury, McGregor made a successful return to the field on Easter Monday. However, she was taken from the field a week later with a recurrence.
