Broncos captain Reynolds is set to miss up to four weeks and could be available for the final round clash with the Storm while halves partner Ezra Mam is expected to miss more than four weeks after also injuring his hamstring in Thursday’s loss to Melbourne.
Brisbane winger Selwyn Cobbo limped off with two minutes left on the clock after doing a hammy and he too is a four weeks-plus proposition.
Ben Hunt and Billy Walters are set to form a makeshift halves pairing although coach Michael Maguire could call on one of his three back-up halves Coby Black, Josh Rogers or Jock Madden.
Cory Paix started the season as the first-choice No.9 while Blake Mozer and Tyson Smoothy are other hooker/bench options.
Manly’s hopes of squeaking into the playoffs have been dealt a blow with Jake Trbojevic ruled out of Sunday’s tussle with the Tigers.
Trbojevic suffered his third head knock of the season in Friday’s loss to the Raiders and will be stood down under category-one concussion protocols.
Coincidentally, his brother Ben missed the last round due to a concussion and should be right to return for the Wests showdown at Allianz Stadium.
Canberra lock Corey Horsburgh was slapped with a grade 1 shoulder charge offence for a tackle on Manly veteran Jazz Tevaga in the 74th minute at GIO Stadium.
He will pay a $3000 fine with an early guilty plea rather than risk a two-game ban by challenging the judiciary.
Roosters second-rower Siua Wong was diagnosed with category-one symptoms after he was smashed in a three-man Dolphins tackle from a kick-off on Saturday night.
He will sit out their crucial clash with the Bulldogs on Friday night.
