Brisbane are sweating on the fitness of captain Justin Hodges with coach Wayne Bennett admitting his captain might not last in the NRL grand final tonight.
Officially, Hodges has been given the all clear for the NRL grand final against North Queensland at ANZ Stadium.
Hodges hopes to draw the curtain on his glittering 16-season career with his third premiership win.
There are also concerns for second-rower Alex Glenn after his failure to train due to a thigh-groin complaint.
A high-visibility police presence is expected at today's NRL grand final following the shooting of a police employee outside the force's Sydney headquarters.
58-year-old Curtis Cheng was gunned down from behind while leaving work at the Parramatta police building on Friday afternoon in an attack authorities have described as linked to terrorism.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione says the incident will be taken into consideration with regards to security at the clash between six-time premiers Brisbane Broncos and the North Queensland Cowboys.
