The Broncos coach, Anthony Seibold, emphasized the importance of the 19-year-old actor Payne Haas, after insisting that he was now a must in training .
Haas, who played 80 minutes against Canberra last week in his second game as a starter, will start against the Cronulla Sharks on Saturday night, despite Matt Lodge's return from injury and Tevita Pangai barely suspended.
Haas and Lodge will line up in the front row and Pangai will go to the lock. Joe Ofahengaue returns to the bench alongside Kotoni Staggs, David Fifita and Thomas Flegler.
This is a sign of Haas's meteoric rise that Seibold said he did not see him as a bench player, even though all his first-rate attackers were available for the first time.
"Payne has been outstanding over the past two weeks, winning the coach and player trophy two weeks in a row," said Seibold.
"Payno is a player who must start the game and who can play long minutes, he has an extraordinary ability to work hard and to repeat his efforts.We need him.I do not think that he needs to to play 80 minutes a week, but last week we had a little experience.
"He's only 19 years old, so I'm not saying he's experienced, but last week we needed everyone on deck." Payno is a novice player for me. "
The fly in ointment for the Broncos, as well as the only glitch in the Haas game, has been missed at Brisbane's one-on-one attack in a state of fatigue.
"We sometimes missed crucial face-to-face meetings," Seibold said.
"Payne missed a tackle the whole match [against Canberra] but it was to try when Bateman crossed it near the line. The week before he missed [two] but one was the one on Chee Kam to lose the match. The missed tackles we make are expensive. "
Seibold said the Broncos had made five broken lines against the Raiders and that 22 points would have been enough to win. It is the defensive mistakes that cost the side, not the problems of attack or spine.
"There have been too many individual opportunities – these are not system errors," Seibold said.
"This is where we have to find our improvement. It is an individual goal on which we must be better with our individual contact. "
Half of Kodi Nikorima left the training several minutes early Thursday with a shock on a cork that he backed against Canberra, but played freely in the captain's race on Friday.
The teenage half Tom Dearden is part of the extended team, but Seibold said Nikorima would be right to play against the Sharks.
"We named Tom Dearden in our team of 21 people, so if there are any dramas, Tom will come in, but we do not envision that," Seibold said.
"Tom has been outstanding for Wynnum and it's a good reward for him.
"We needed to have control over Macca [Andrew McCullough] earlier in the week. He had a small facial wound, so I had to have a blanket over there he was not playing, but he was whitened. "

Pat Carrigan will lose his title among the 17 players who played against Canberra, but will not participate in the Intrust Super Cup this weekend. Seibold will keep him cool before the Broncos' 11 exhausting days since last Sunday's clash against Canberra until Thursday's blockbuster against Souths.
"We have three games in 11 days, so we have to make sure we keep some new bodies," said Seibold.
"It's great to have everyone available after a disrupted start with our community.
"It was good news from the specialist on Wednesday morning to meet Lodgey, who I think was probably one of our best strikers in the first few rounds when he played, starting tomorrow night.
"We thought we had made good progress in the last few weeks and we will have a good indication of our position against Cronulla."
