Key forwards Pat Carrigan and Payne Haas are on track to return from injury for Brisbane against South Sydney in a huge boost for the Broncos ahead of the blockbuster showdown at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
Queensland lock Carrigan (calf tightness) was rested from Saturday's 44-24 win over Canterbury, while NSW prop Haas (ankle tendon inflammation) has been on the sidelines since round 18.
