The Brisbane Broncos are hopeful of regaining skipper Justin Hodges and forward Adam Blair from injury for Friday night’s clash with the Sydney Roosters.

Equal top of the NRL ladder after five rounds, the Broncos could receive a further boost in their quest to consolidate their position if the pair can prove their fitness this week.

Blair is battling a corked thigh while Hodges trained on Monday morning for the first time since tweaking his hamstring in New Zealand a week ago.
