Emerging big man Xavier Willison returns to add more grunt from the bench for the Broncos in Friday night’s Round 15 clash with the Rabbitohs in Sydney.
Willison, missing last week due to the birth of his first child, has been one of Brisbane’s finds of 2024 in surging for 108 metres per game and busting 19 tackles off the interchange in nine appearances this season.
The 21-year-old’s size, speed and strength have made a big difference to the Broncos and he will be a welcome addition in the No.15 jersey at Accor Stadium.
Tristan Sailor will again start at fullback with Reece Walsh still in the 11-day concussion protocol after suffering a head knock Queensland’s opening Origin win.
