Justin Hodges and Josh McGuire ruled out of Broncos team to play Rabbitohs Brisbane have lost Justin Hodges and Josh McGuire to injury ahead of their NRL clash with South Sydney. Injured Broncos Justin Hodges and Josh McGuire to sit out Souths game. THE Broncos have been dealt two massive blows before tomorrow night's NRL blockbuster clash with South Sydney, losing Test centre Justin Hodges and forward Josh McGuire to injury. Hodges (groin) and McGuire (calf) failed to take part in the Broncos' final training session this morning. Broncos coach Anthony Griffin said the injuries were not serious but could not afford to risk fielding underdone troops against the monster Rabbitohs pack. Rookie Jordan Kahu will fill the Hodges void at right centre, while young forward Jarrod Wallace steps up for Maroons Origin hopeful McGuire. Jordan Kahu trains at Red Hill. He will replace Justin Hodges in the centres. Picture: Nathan Richter Source: The Courier-Mail Hodges pulled up last week with a sore groin. It is getting better all the time but it won't be ready (by) tomorrow night for 80 minutes," Griffin said. And Josh McGuire's calf has flared up again so they will both be out. We will miss 'Hodgo' because of his experience but Jordy is a pretty big kid and a good defender. We would love to have Justin there but we won't miss him defensively. Jordy Kahu will be better for the experience (of his NRL debut) against Melbourne (last month), as that game went on he did a really good job. We've trained well, we have no excuses. It will be a tough game with a couple of different people for us. The in-form Rabbitohs arrive in Brisbane today and Griffin says they emerged as a legitimate title force after their gutsy 20-12 away defeat of Manly last Friday night. "They are a big side, but they are a mobile side as well," he said. They are big across the park except for the halfback (Adam Reynolds) and they beat teams with a simple, aggressive brand of football. They use size to their advantage, there is no way around that, you just have to get out there and combat that.
