Broncos welcome back Kotoni Staggs for matchup

Payne Haas, a key player for the Brisbane Broncos, has said he is just beginning to show his best form after a strong performance last weekend. He received the Carl Webb Medal as the man of the match in the Broncos' recent victory over the Cowboys. This Friday, the Broncos will face their rivals, the Dolphins, at Lang Park. The Broncos are coming off a 26-16 win and will welcome back Kotoni Staggs. Staggs has missed the first three games of the season due to a hip flexor injury. He will take the place of Deine Mariner at right centre. Gehamat Shibasaki will stay in his position at left centre after a good game against North Queensland. Haas expressed excitement at having Staggs back for the game, noting the electrifying atmosphere created in the previous rivalry match. He is determined to improve and believes he is getting fitter after recovering from surgery earlier this year. The Broncos have won two of their first three matches, while the Dolphins have yet to secure a win this season. Despite their strong start, the Broncos are not taking the Dolphins lightly, recalling their heavy loss to them last year. Ben Hunt will play in his first Broncos-Dolphins match after returning to the team. He mentioned that he had some interest from the Dolphins but was always keen to return to Brisbane, citing his love for the club. Hunt anticipates a challenging game ahead in the "Battle of Brisbane."
