Broncos prop Payne Haas is now facing an extended stint on the sidelines, with the club confirming their marquee man would require knee surgery.
“Payne met with a specialist today, and it was decided the best course of action was for him to have an arthroscopy next week,” Ballard said.“We always put the long-term health of the player first, and even though Payne will miss some games now, we will get a much better result once he returns with the bulk of the season still to play.
Haas was seen running on the sidelines at Red Hill during the club’s Wednesday morning Captain’s Run to test the knee injury he aggravated during last week’s triumph over South Sydney, but he was unable to take part in the opposed sessions.A comeback timeline remains unknown, with the 24-year-old to consult a specialist to determine the best course of action.Initial scans did not show structural damage, and Walters did not believe it would keep him out of the game for an extended period.
Fletcher Baker will come into the starting side, with Xavier Willison garnering his first NRL appearance of the year off the bench.“No one likes missing games, particularly Payne, who probably is the most competitive and very team-orientated, who feels like maybe he’s letting the team down, when in actual fact, he’s not,” Walters said.
Once asked about the grand final, edge forward Brendan Piakura was quick to yell behind a media pack “20 dollars” as the Brisbane mentor addressed the question. Any mention of it went straight into the “Kevin Walters fund”, the coach joked, with his tab reaching four figures.
