The teenager injured his ankle in the Broncos' preliminary final loss to the Dragons last Sunday and had scans and an appointment with the surgeon this morning. While the second rower does require an operation, Broncos' High Performance Manager Jeremy Hickmans said he should be back into full training before Christmas. He will begin running eight weeks after surgery, in early November. "David will have surgery on an unstable syndesmosis joint as the ligaments surrounding it are torn," said Hickmans. "On a positive note they did not find any fracture in the joint. "He will be back in full training after a three-month recovery period." The Broncos would have been in real trouble trying to field a forward pack this weekend if they had qualified for round two of the NRL finals. Fifita would have been out and Korbin Sims was suspended for a dangerous throw out of the Dragons game. Josh McGuire (hand) and Joe Ofahengaue (concussion) would have had to win fitness battles on their injuries, leaving the Broncos possibly short four forwards from last week's team. [/QUOTE]
