Adam Reynolds was stretchered off in the first half of Brisbane’s clash with Melbourne which the Broncos went on to lose 24-16 at AAMI Park.
It is now 13 losses in a row for Kevin Walters’ men against the Storm but of greater concern will be the health and well-being of their talismanic halfback.
Reynolds hurt himself after smashing into the turf while attempting to ground the ball in the in-goal area during a mad scramble involving Herbie Farnworth and Harry Grant.
The halfback face-planted into the pitch and remained down as the play was sent up to the Bunker for a review, with the Broncos eventually being awarded a controversial try to Farnworth.
Broncos officials reported on Monday night that none of the players in the top 22 had any injury concerns ahead of the grand final showdown with the Panthers.
After training on Tuesday they said none of Walsh, Reynolds, Farnworth or Haas are in any doubt to play.
The Broncos will need Walsh and Reynolds at full health if they want to stop Penrith from winning a third consecutive premiership.
Any injuries to Farnworth or the other outside backs could see Corey Oates win a recall, with the veteran winger overlooked throughout the finals series so far.
Walsh has been one of the form players of the competition over the last six weeks, and his speed and evasiveness will be vital for the Broncos.
The 21-year-old had six line-break assists and three try assists in Brisbane’s 42-12 win over the Warriors in the preliminary final.
But he will have his work cut out against the Panthers’ historically stingy finals defence.
