Languishing in 13th position and reeling from a monstrous loss to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at home in Round 21, the Brisbane Broncos are playing for their season, week to week.
Their hopes have been dealt an enormous blow with key forward and NSW stalwart Payne Haas limping from the field in their cross-town clash with the Gold Coast Titans.
With commentators and experts cautiously diagnosing the injury as a potential Lisfranc (midfoot) injury, Haas' season is potentially over.
Further compounding the situation, Ezra Mam will not start the second half, also picking up an ankle injury in the first half.
For the Broncos to make the finals and redeem their 2023 heartbreaking loss, they will truly need to climb mountains from this point forward.
Broncos fear a Lisfranc (midfoot) injury for Payne Haas - to be sent for scans to confirm.
For them to rule him out & suspect a Lisfranc injury so quickly - not great signs. Many of the possibilities here point to his being season over with 5 rounds left before finals.
