Round 27: Bulldogs vs Broncos | Highlights

The Brisbane Broncos defeated the Canterbury Bulldogs 34-20 in a game that served as a farewell for prop player Payne Haas, who will be leaving the team at the end of the year to join South Sydney in 2027. The game was played on a final-round contest, and it marked one of the Brisbane Broncos' highest scores of the season with 34 points, tying their previous record set four weeks earlier against the Raiders. Halfback Ben Hunt said that the team had extra motivation to win for Haas, who has been a significant player for the club. The game was tied at 10-10 at halftime, but the Broncos scored four tries in 15 minutes after the break to take a 24-point lead. Canterbury attempted to mount a comeback with tries from Viliame Kikau and Lachlan Galvin, but ultimately fell short as the Broncos secured a win that will likely place them 14th or 15th in their failed premiership defense.
