BRONCOS forward Joe Ofahengaue will miss three games in the lead up to this year’s finals series, after he took the early guilty plea for a dangerous throw.

The Broncos have decided not to fight the grade three charge for the incident in Saturday’s win over the Titans, in which Ofahengaue upended Max King.

The young forward will miss the next three games for Brisbane but will return before they begin their finals campaign.

Jai Arrow and George Fai shape as the most likely replacements for Ofahengaue on the bench.
