Following the unfortunate farewell of Adam Reynolds at Lang Park, the Brisbane Broncos are set to honor another departing player, with Payne Haas playing his last match for the team before transferring to South Sydney for the 2027 season.

It seems unjust for a player of Haas’s caliber to leave the club under such disappointing circumstances, yet fans remain hopeful for one final memorable performance from him in the Broncos’ colors tonight.

There are minimal changes to the lineups announced on Tuesday. For Brisbane, back rower Jack Gosiewski and Blake Mozer have been replaced by Ben Talty and young hooker Cameron Bukowski. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will see Jed Reardon stepping in for fellow debutant Cooper Toy from 2026.

This matchup, which a year ago would have been anticipated as a pivotal game for finals qualifications, has turned into a contest between two teams that have fallen short of their goals. The Canterbury Bulldogs, currently ranked 10th, will face the Brisbane Broncos, who sit in 15th place, both teams now out of the playoff race.

The reigning champions and a key contender for 2025 have experienced a season filled with disappointment. Tonight’s game represents the last opportunity for fans to watch superstar prop Payne Haas play for Brisbane before he joins the Rabbitohs next season.
