Broncos coach Anthony Griffin still looking for answers after 16-10 trial loss to Warriors in New Zealand An injury to Shaun Johnson sours the Warriors win over the Broncos, who had three tries disallowed. A VIDEO dissection of the weekend's trial loss to the Warriors will determine who will play five-eighth for the Broncos in their NRL premiership opener against Manly on Friday week. Brisbane coach Anthony Griffin had been hoping either Corey Norman or Scott Prince would take the decision out of his hands with a slick performance in Dunedin, and both were handed similar shares of game time in the 16-10 loss. With no more trials left, that selection cliffhanger and several others remain unanswered, leaving Griffin and his assistant Stephen Kearney with some tough calls to make ahead of the Suncorp Stadium battle in 12 days time. "We'll have to have a look at the tape over the next couple of days," Griffin said when asked if either Norman or Prince had won a photo finish. Broncos forward Scott Anderson injured his ribs but the Warriors have a greater concern after halfback Shaun Johnson's night ended early due to an arm injury. Questions over the left centre and wing spots are also unresolved for Brisbane. On the opposite side there are no such problems.

Picture: Teaukura Moetaua The usual suspects were typically sharp, with backrower Matt Gillett and winger Lachlan Maranta presenting watertight arguments for their inclusion beside centre Justin Hodges. Hodges was a class act, scoring a late try, giving the last pass for Maranta's four-pointer and testing his hamstrings with two long breaks. The other good news for the club was the successful comebacks of skipper Sam Thaiday, centre Jack Reed and hooker Andrew McCullough from shoulder operations. With halfback Peter Wallace and hooking duo McCullough and Ben Hunt calling the shots, Brisbane was the better side for 60 minutes but lacked a killer blow. "We bombed about half a dozen tries but in general I think we defended pretty well," Griffin said. The home side was sloppy in the first half. Dropped ball meant they spent long periods on the back foot, with only scrambling defence keeping the Broncos out. Coach Matt Elliott should be pleased with his team's defence, highlighted by some punishing hits from captain Simon Mannering and props Ben Matulino and Sam Rapira. They were energised by their defence and that eventually flowed into some confident attacking raids.
