Brisbane forwards must excel against Raiders' strong pack for Broncos' success in the qualifying final.
Although blessed with attacking strike in their backline, the battle of the forward packs will have a biggest say in deciding the result between the Broncos and Raiders in their qualifying final.
Another dominant performance from Broncos prop Payne Haas will be key to any chance of his side going on in their quest to avenge their 2023 grand final defeat, with the representative star making no secret about his desire to win a ring.
The first obstacle in their way is a fired-up Raiders team led from the front by representative level forwards Josh Papalii, Joseph Tapine and Corey Horsburgh - and while Haas and opposing prop Papalii (ankle) have both been under injury clouds this week, both have been named to start.
