The defending champions are finally experiencing a stroke of good fortune, as star forward Payne Haas approaches his return and may be fit for this weekend's match.
The Broncos have endured a challenging season filled with injuries, causing numerous key players to miss out during the initial stages of the competition.
At the forefront of the injured list is Haas, who suffered a Grade 3 MCL tear during the Broncos' game against the Wests Tigers in Round 7.
However, the tide may be turning at Red Hill, with the Courier Mail reporting that Haas is nearing his comeback this week, providing a significant boost to the team's premiership aspirations.
Teammate Brendan Piakura is also on the brink of being cleared after suffering a rare LCL injury in Round 8, offering timely support as the club seeks to recover from three consecutive losses to the Roosters, Sea Eagles, and Warriors.
The dynamic duo has been sidelined for over a month, left to watch their team struggle from the sidelines.
Haas' injury prevented him from being selected for the NSW Blues, and he will undoubtedly aim to return with a vengeance to reclaim his starting position for Game 2.
This weekend, the Broncos will confront a desperate St George Illawarra Dragons team, who face the possibility of starting the season with a 0-12 record if the Broncos manage to secure the win.
The Red V will take on the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium this Sunday afternoon.
