Brisbane and NSW enforcer Payne Haas insists he has learnt valuable lessons from his bust-up with Broncos teammate Albert Kelly, but maintains he didn’t deserve a suspension for their altercation in March.
“I was a bit gutted to get suspended,” Haas said. “I felt like I let down the team and all the coaches. I just wanted to make it up to them. Haas did more than make it up to the Broncos with another powerful performance for his club, this time in Friday night’s win against the Bulldogs. He may have company from Red Hill if Kotoni Staggs continues his return to form after a sluggish start to the year. With Latrell Mitchell injured, a centre vacancy has appeared, with Staggs and red-hot Sharks big man Siosifa Talakai two of the leading contenders.They will square off when the Broncos host the Sharks on Thursday night and Haas said he couldn’t wait to get a ringside seat to their encounter.
