Brisbane prop Payne Haas has vowed North Queensland won't embarrass the Broncos on Friday night at Suncorp Stadium like they did last year, as bragging rights in the state derby go on the line again.
The Broncos narrowly missed the NRL finals in 2022 and they can point towards a 38-12 thrashing by the Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium and a 40-26 defeat in Townsville as two losses that cost them dearly.
"They put a cricket score on us both games and it is something we are not proud of," Haas said.
