Haas\u2019s return will be crucial at AAMI Park on a night when the Storm get rampaging prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona back from a two-game suspension.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will be right to go,\u201d Jensen said of Haas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a good chance to have a reset. He\u2019s had a few bumps and bruises along the way but he doesn\u2019t like missing games.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s probably the best front-rower in the game so to have him mentally and physically fresh is going to be a huge against Melbourne for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brisbane\u2019s front-row stocks are skinny. Ben Te Kura (foot) is also out of action while veteran Martin Taupau was released by the club midseason.<\/p>\n
Rookie front-rower Ben Talty has done everything asked of him in his three games. The 26-year-old has scored two tries and won all three of his games off the bench since signing midyear.<\/p>\n
Also prop Fletcher Baker has made a comeback from injury for Burleigh after a 10-week absence.<\/p>\n
\u201cFletcher had a bit of a neck issue but had his first game of Queensland Cup on the weekend and from all reports pulled through and will be available if called upon,\u201d Jensen said.<\/p>\n
The Broncos are also without back-rower Brendan Piakura (concussion) against the Storm due to his 11-day stand down.<\/p>\n
Jensen said the Broncos \u201cgot a lot of things right\u201d against the Rabbitohs, including being patient and getting in the grind early before putting the foot down in attack.<\/p>\n
They will likely need even more against the Storm at a venue where the Broncos have not won since 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are under no illusion they are a great side and even better at home so it will be a good test for us and a nice gauge of where we are at,\u201d Jensen said.<\/p>\n
