THREE Brisbane Broncos players have been replaced in the Brisbane Broncos’ squad for tomorrow night’s match with the New Zealand Warriors.

Jack Reed, Daniel Vidot and Corey Oates will miss the game at Suncorp Stadium after being demoted to the Queensland Cup for breaching team protocol.

They will play with their State League clubs this weekend – Reed with Norths, Vidot with Ipswich, and Oates with the Central Capras.

“The players in question were out during the week of a game which is not the way we expect them to prepare for a match,” said Broncos’ coach Anthony Griffin.

“As a club we have certain standards that we expect our players to adhere to.

“They know they have done the wrong thing by the team.

“The responsibility now for them is to train and play hard and fight their way back into the team.”

The Broncos will train this evening with the team to be finalised at that session.
