Kahu broke his jaw during Brisbane’s win over North Queensland last week and is expected to miss up to three months of football after X-rays confirmed fractures in three different places.

The luckless Kiwi international has been blighted by injuries for much of his NRL career, including two knee reconstructions.

“He’s going to be (out) two to three months, probably. It’s pretty early but he had surgery,” said Broncos head of high performance Jeremy Hickman.

“He deals with it as well you can. He was hurting obviously after it but he was pretty good at halftime.”

The loss of Kahu for the Broncos could be offset by the possible return of star recruit Jack Bird, who has missed the first two rounds of the 2018 season while recovering from shoulder surgery.

The former Shark has been named on an extended bench for this weekend, but could replace Tom Opacic in the starting squad if he is given the all-clear for contact by surgeons this week.
